I have a better alternative: invest in viable alternatives to driving! expand protected bike lanes, build the damn high speed rail, more trains, trams and bus lines. One more asphalt lane for cars wont solve traffic problems :)

That would work for much of the population that lives within 100 miles of the US border, but there is a lot of rural and green space in Canada, and bikes aren't great in Canadian winters. Canada needs good car options too.

The thing is, if Trump wants to kill Canada's role in US car manufacturing, then it will cost him the car markets in Mexico and Canada. If there's no jobs here to protect, then we'll just drop the tariffs on Chinese EVs. (This is speaking like 20 years down the road). We'll all be driving Chinese cars in that scenario. The tariffs are a total lose-lose situation, so dumb.
I still want diy builds to be eligible for hov lane sticker and rebates when they have those
Or maintain and drive the car you already have. There are more options then Tesla and BYD. These are probably the worst options.
$15k EV... Yes Please!!!
Nah you wouldn't want one, they're bare bones.
Okay, add $5k worth of options = $20k EV... Yes Please!!!
I have driven byd and some other Chinese brands and it's a really great experience minus the shitty touch screen UX. That being said I wouldn't trust China to run my car ever. Everything is locked down and it absolutely spies on you. I wouldn't trust my life with that to save a bit of money.
Just buying a 2nd hand ice vehicle is better for you and the environment if you're looking for a affordable option.
I'd be way more concerned about whether it's a deathtrap than whether or not the touchscreen has good UX, lol.
Those are not mutually exclusive. The ux is incredibly dangerous especially here in sunny and wet south east asia where China is exporting a lot of cars now. Many accidents are making the news where the driver didn't see something cause they're fucking with the stupid controls instead of driving.
We don't allow smart phone use while driving but somehow giant tablet in the middle of the car is ok.
I have this problem in my gas-burning Mazda because of the horrible touch screen that won’t work half the time and has options buried in it.
I cannot believe there haven’t been lawsuits to stop this BS yet
