Canada is about to burn. 49,000 tinderbox EV to be imported from China

[Crepitus]

I think rational canadians will wake up sone dsy and realize that their country has become a province of communist china

Thats bad for them but not good for America either

I see you are dodging the question,as usual.

TimFitz

Communist china is not your friend

It sees you as a stepping stone to world domination

Whatever gave you the idea that I thought of China as a friend.

They are China, a rising global superpower.

If Trump continues his Putin inspired wars against our western allies, he will enable their march past us as the world’s most important world power.

 

[jknowgood]

Yes, your fanatical resistance (no pun intended) to electric cars is well known here.

I don't care if you drive them, as long as I have my gas motor.

 

[Mac-7]

I see you are dodging the question,as usual.

I did answer

But if I have to draw you a picture I will try

Yes, oppose US subsidies for EV cars

But we are talking about canada

The chinese cars are junk and everyone except carney knows it

But if the price is low enough they might unload the cars on 49,000 gullible canadians

That I can live with even though it increases chicom influence in N America which is not good

You are a globalist that cannot put America first

The euros are bent on self destruction and eventual surrender to china

If thats what they want we cant stop them

But we dont have to join them on the way down either

 

[skews13]

Batteries lose power in cold weather

And canada is VERY cold 9 months of the year

But that does not prevent these chicom deathtraps from spontaneous combustion

Hopefully at least they are not the older models with all-electric doors that trap occupants during an emergency

BYD, and Xiamoi vehicles are superior in every way to Tesla and Toyota. It's not even close.

I see you're not mechanically inclined, or know anything about electrical vehicles.

Exactly. If Canada is trying for better relations with China, it's because they see the US as an increasingly unreliable partner.

Here's the thing.

Back in the 1960's, Japanese cars were seen as cheap and not of very good quality. They didn't have a very good market share because my Dad's generation refused to buy Toyotas or Hondas because they were still pissed about Pearl Harbor.

But the Japanese kept working on quality and efficiency, while US automakers got complacent and kept cranking out gas-guzzlers in a market that no longer wanted them. By the 1980s, Japanese cars were considered superior in quality to American cars.

China is where Japan was 50 years ago. It's moved beyond, "The place you get things that are cheap" to "the place you get things made with quality". "Cheap" has moved to Vietnam, Malaysia, and India.

The only thing I want to know, is when I can get one.

Not my cup of tea, but it looks nice.

I'm a devoted Ford customer, though. Have bought five Fords over the last 40 years.

 

[Crepitus]

That's an uncharacteristically liberal view for one of you guys.

 

[Hollie]

Nobody has time to watch a 32 minute xenophobic video.

As far as EV's burning, I just hear stories about Teslas (AKA Swastikars) catching on fire.

“but…but… but…. But what about…..”

Chatbot spam.

Sometimes they catch on fire because of arson by leftist scumbags.

 

[jknowgood]

Why should I care about what you drive?

Own a Ford, one of several, and a Toyota. Still want one of those. 619 miles on a charge, at a rate that can reach full charge in 20 minutes. That's coast to coast on 100 minutes of charge time. Charging stations at most big name gas stations and truck stops average $25-$35. At the high end on 5 stops this cost you $175.

As charging station infrastructure is added over time. This only gets cheaper. I talk frequently with my grandkids and their friends. This where that generation leans. There will always be the need for gas and diesel vehicles for the near future anyway, but EV's are the future, much to the oil companies dismay.

The only reason I can't get one right now is because of oil company lobby in Congress. That to will change in the future. Kind of kills the conservative argument for free markets doesn't it?

 

[Crepitus]

You shouldn't, of course.

I wish more of your fellow whack-jobs had the same attitude.

 

[Hollie]

Actually, little lady, it’s you whack-job leftists with your EV mandates and your planned bans on gas powered vehicles which is oppressive. It was only government subsidies for EV purchases which kept a short- lived experiment in their general use alive.

Everything china knows about manufacturing it learned from the Germans snd Americans

But the chicoms do not make quality

They make low cost

The EV scam is falling apart. Auto companies lost billions over it and are reverting back to internal combustion engines

Thats a fact

Of course the euros are still traumatized by the co2 doomsday scam

But the public is way ahead of the government on this

Chinese parts are junk.
I sure as hell wouldn't want a vehicle entirely built from them.
