There is a 100% tariff so it is unlikely.

I don’t think a lot of people properly estimate our anger at protectionism for America’s manufacturing or its Ontario job offshoots. And bending over for Don.
I’ll pay it if it makes sense or I won’t buy.
The funny thing about that is, even with the 100% tariffs the vehicles are still cheaper than most of the competition.
I live in the Texas of Canada, and my next vehicle will be a BYD.
Texas of Canada
Alberta?
It will be interesting to see how well these hold up and what kind of service options become available.
Mexico uses the BYD D1 as a taxi cab. That should give an idea of how the cars are holding up.
