-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

State department hand wringing that China is going to use the US trade agreements as they were designed is 
I fully expect them to redo these with "except china" clauses.
so what youre saying is i should go to mexico to buy an EV
If you can yeah
Wouldn't you face problems with importing and registering it in the USA?
Probably not, no, I think you could just drive it across the border, if it's only one. The Chinese cars aren't illegal here they are just subject to a 100% tariff. I'm talking out of my ass though so take it for what it's worth
Edit: I forgot about the safety standards. Wouldn't want anyone getting hurt. Better stick to the cybertruck for now
ready and waiting to buy a 2024 BYD car in.... 2049
But those Chinese EVs are sold here, hence the tariff being in place, right?
The tariff is in place to prevent Chinese EVs from setting up shop in the first place. Taxed at 100%, no one will buy so why bother selling here?
to the best of my knowledge the tariff was raised to make the investment in crashing a bunch of cars to satisfy NTSB standards less attractive. cost to consumers is doubled shrinking the potential market (even if they would still be competitive with basic econoboxes sitting at $38,999, the market shrinks considerably compared to a car that would fly like hotcakes at $14k but has to be sold at nearly $30k due to tariffs.)
you absolutely cannot do this
B-b-but what about the free market
Can you just keep it registered in mexico somehow? I live near the border and see mexican plates pretty often
Guess you can run into problems with the insurance, unless you get a Mexican insurer with a US coverage premium.
You'd probably have to pay a fuckton of fees to get it registered at one of the state DMVs in the US. Sadly probably too expensive/ too much of a pain in the ass to be worth it
In the U.S. there's a car importing law that bans you from importing any car not older than 25 years
Doug Demuro video about a Peugeot, might have something about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOUQN6eIxkA
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
you'll need to import it in order to get it licensed. But they probably treat an individual importing a single car differently than a company importing thousands of cars. Also iirc you get like one "free" (as in you dont have to pay tarrifs) car import every 5 or 10 years.
It's state specific. You'll want to first check that you can get it registered with your dmv. Some places do have vehicles you can't get registered because they wouldn't meet safety or other standards.
