More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.

You strawmanned about the BYD factory, which I never mentioned, clearly you’re engaging in bad faith. The use of ughur slave labour throughout the economy, or indentured workers at places like foxcon is better documented than the recent conviction of Donald Trump. I have no more reason to cite sources for this than a comment referencing the earth being round or Ukraine being at war.
The only possible way to be ignorant of these facts is by choice. I don’t care if people who choose ignorance refute my claims, no evidence I could provide would change that anyway and again, it isn’t my responsibility to deprogram anyone.
I am certainly not making scientific claims in an academic paper or publishing breaking news with an obligation to cite sources, I’m providing commentary on that which has already been well documented and in doing so, insinuating (very different from claiming, which you seem to have missed) that the Chinese state supports the use of what is, effectively, slave labour.
I mentioned it. BYD is by far Chinas most successful EV manufacturer, and when i mentioned China having new EVs for literally half the price of our used ones, im talking about their 11k Seagull. That is what we are talking about, thats what these tariffs are preventing from coming here. So these accusations of slave labor have to apply to them, or youre gonna need another argument for why they shouldnt be allowed to sell here. Its no strawman, its no metaphor.
