        idk a 11k car becoming 22k when I could buy like some toyota or some bullshit for 11k is a hard sell for me, a poor person who already can't afford an 11k car

          Sorry if I came across as being dismissive. What I meant was that China already has such a competitive advantage that they’re going to corner the EV market no matter what. Poorer people will still be priced out of it, same as they are now with Tesla and the Ford Volt.

          As much as I don’t believe EVs are how we tackle the climate crisis, this is still a net loss for the planet.
