Opinion | China’s Electric Vehicles Are Going to Hit Detroit Like a Wrecking Ball

Do we really want America to become a backwater of bloated, expensive, gas-guzzling cars?

This upcoming competition means that it’s incredibly important for US makers to figure out how to profitably make inexpensive electric vehicles, instead of merely focusing on the biggest most expensive trucks and SUVs

    I used to work in an Engineering role in the Detroit auto industry. I think this is a good thing. The big three have been stagnantly focused on building their cars to be as cheap and shitty as possible for decades. Over bloated and perpetually behind the curve.

    Maybe this will light a fire under their asses and motivate them to invest in EVs properly and improve their quality.

    Probably not though.
