All of Blizzard's games are complete trash fests.

Nope. I don't care if 5 miles worth or 500.

They literally aren't helping anyone. They are taking advantage of situation to gouge people. At least AAA is truly helpful. This dealership, just like your company, is run by unhelpful assholes.

Yes it does. Just like they would be assholes if they had a single company gas pump and charged more than triple the going rate to the public instead of not allowing them at all to use it at all.

If actually an emergency, they're definitely gaping assholes. Also way better solutions exist.

Yes. If they aren't actually intended for public use then don't allow the public to use them at all and don't list them as such. Put them in a gated employee only lot, lock them down with special cards, or some other bullshit depending on the type of business.

Well, that deal hasn't fully closed and gone through quite yet, but yes, Roku will get even worse than it already was.

Roku, and everything it touches, is trash. Their hardware sucks. Their software sucks.

Omarchy.

But also...just because a lot of 1Password users are using Omarchy, that doesn't mean 1Paassword has a reason to give Omarchy money.

And there are a lot of cases that make owning an EV difficult.

It's significantly *better* than it was but still not plentiful enough across the entire country.

They quite literally aren't doing that, on purpose.

What I'm saying is that there is always something low quality in every car and Chinese EVs are no different. It could be one thing, it could be many, it depends on the make/model. Some are more obvious than others. Some are more tolerable than others.

Perhaps some individual components, but none of the finished hardware was fully manufactured or assembled there.

Not to mention, in order to be jingoist, I would have to be showing aggressive patriotism towards my own country, which I don't because I'm not. Viewing China with extreme suspicion does not make someone a jingoist, especially when their actions deserve every bit of suspicion thrown at them. And by "them", of course, I mean their government.

Great, which one? There are at least 3 different manufacturers and a handful of different models. I only clicked a couple of the popular ones and they all seemed, meh in one way or another.

Wow. What a radical assumption that has no basis in anything I said.

No, American products made primarily in China are usually even worse.

Fucking retard.

Shitty performance/build does not automatically mean failure altogether.

Chinese branded versions are absolute junk. American brands made in China are also junk.

While a significant amount of shoes produced in the world come from China, I don't buy those shitty overpriced brands (Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc).

Kinda niche sooo, don't really care nor do I believe it to be true.

Ha.

It's variable up to ~35%, depending on the manufacturer, on top of a standard 10% import. Geely is 18.8%. BYD is 17%. SAIC is 35%.

The tariffs can be lessened by moving manufacturing into the EU. Which is ultimately one of their goals anyway, because once they have the foothold it's harder to get rid of them.

Not like China does. Even when you combine federal, state, and local. I'm not complaining that China is doing it. I just don't expect the low prices to stay forever. When I take a step back and look at the bigger picture, it looks to me that the goal is market foothold and saturation with profits just being a bonus. They would probably be willing to dip into the red for a bit, if needed, in order to obtain it. Once that happens, usually the next is increasing prices all around. Nevertheless, I'm still all for allowing Chinese EVs to be sold in the US. Whether or not I would ever buy any remains to be seen until I can actually test drive any. Otherwise, I'm waiting for Aptera to finally deliver.
