Four years after the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA), Mexico and the U.S. face the prospect of cheap Chinese electric vehicles dominating a fast-growing market and undermining GM, Ford, and Tesla.
I can’t believe that shit is still going. I never watched a single one of them.
But I looked it up and it seems like, at least some, Chinese hybrid SUVs in Mexico converting from current MXN to USD rate go for around $35-40k at their highest, premium tier. Some hybrid SUVs in the US at their bottom tier are currently $50k+. That’s such a wild fucking difference. Thinking about it, you’d probably need an address in Mexico to register it and whatever but I don’t see why or how they’d stop you at the border on the drive back home into the US. Not sure how maintenance or registration would go after that though, so maybe it’s not sustainable unless you have a consistent Mexican address. I hope someone out there gets around the system and drives in their affordable, premium Chinese car in the US. Death to tariffs.
