There is no threat of war.

It's marketing for elections and industrial contracts.

I Want That.

I don’t need it, but I want it. If Ford built that for the US market, I bet they could sell a half million or more.

The problem is the Germans allowed the Chinese to learn everything about making modern cars, and then allowed them to be exported into Germany killing the German car market. Do you know the Chinese EV’s are sold basically at cost. The profit comes from the German car companies buying the Chinese Carbon Credit. Everything the Chinese do is to kill the Western car companies.

2 tonnes is 4400#, no way that truck can do that. That’s deuce and a half loads. Blatant errors like that make me doubt anything else that’s said in the article.

The only way auto factories and much of the rest of the manufacturing sector survives in Europe is by erecting a massive tariff wall against China.
