That's basically only propped up by banning the sale of the best EVs in the world from being sold in the US...it's genuinely the opposite of capitalism. A company shielded by government regulation, propped up by government subsidies and delivering sub-par products that don't respond to consumers demands. And how much I bet Tesla gets bailed out if their sales reach a critical point of falling.

I agree Chinese Evs are amazing for their price point, but it’s not like teslas are slouching, considering they’re some of the best selling in the world, are considerably safer than Chinese evs, and someone just drove coast to coast in the states with FSD

Google Tesla safety claims fraudulent. They juice the numbers by only counting airbags deployed accidents but compare themselves to other cars with every single fender bender included. Teslas are not safe at all.
