They’re simply too expensive across the board. Build me a subcompact, bare-bones street-legal EV for $10,000 and you won’t be able to make them quick enough to keep up with demand for a decade.
But they won’t do this because they rather all compete for a small pool of luxury buyers and lobby to hold the line.
Hell, I’ll even take crank windows, manual locks and no key fob, just to get the cost down. AM/FM radio only, no fancy computers, just an electric drivetrain with A/C, heat and can get me too and from the store and work.
American Auto Manufacturers - it’s hard to even conceive how you’ve thrown away the biggest car market in the history of the world, but. You have. Multiple times.
No they won’t, American politicians preach free market all day and night but will protect American automakers from Chinese competition at the same time. They won’t allow BYD on the streets of Michigan because the second they do, the real owners of Detroit stop donating

The fewer features, the fewer things there are to break. That cuts into profits.
No heated seats needs as well, and no internet connectivity. Hell remove the Bluetooth as well.

If you can make trucks for 20k and sell them for 100k, why would you make cars for 8k to sell at 10k? It’s bad economics.
I’m not saying it right. Just saying that’s what they are clearly insensitived to do.
China has done it, and they’ll be here soon.

BYD doesn’t pay the tariffs, and they’ll just build a plant in Juarez and boop there they are trundling around the US.
The real owners of Detroit left 30 years ago. They all live in London, or Phoenix now.
I would buy one too, sounds amazing!
