And I’d be fine with this, if it were temporary and if there were also measures to help legacy manufacturers turn it around. I wish legacy American manufacturers would be able to survive The Biden administration passed a comprehensive package to do that, and that’s basically what the legacy manufacturers wrote off as a loss
But the current situation is just exploiting Americans for higher profits on old technologies in the hope that global competition will help legacy manufacturers turn things around. I’m not seeing that. I’m just seeing them even more stuck on dead end technology, with no incentive to change. The excessive protectionism is permanent until we’re ready to bail out failing car manufacturers
