    "But BYD, the No. 1 Chinese EV manufacturer, offers cars at considerably lower prices than Tesla. The BYD Seagull sells for $9,700 and the Yuan Plus costs $16,600; a Tesla Model 3 starts at $34,000, and the Model Y costs $37,000. " -https://www.profgalloway.com/tesla-wtf/

    Biden has imposed tariffs on Chinese vehicles. I know China uses some sleazy marketing moves, but who it he protecting?

      I would bet that beyond tariffs, the EVs from China would require additions to pass US requirements... Looks like the Nissan Leaf is the cheapest available in the US at just under 30k, with lots of other manufacturers in that 30-40k starting range, so it isn't just Tesla.

        @Rontuner Thanks. Did not consider safety requirements. Doubt China has the requirements.
