    I’ve read about it in a few articles, but how does the tariff dedication for exporting vehicles actually work? It’s it in terms of vehicle value? That is if you export $1 worth of car you can import $1 worth of car? Or is it unit based, like you can import 1 car per car exported? Or a mix of the two

    Of course, it is not a China brand to the Americans.

    > Industry trade group the **Alliance for American Manufacturing** said in February that cheap Chinese EVs could cause an “extinction-level event” for U.S. automakers.

    Does anyone know anything about this secretive group? They seem to get mentioned a lot, but their [website](https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/about-us/) provides jack all information regarding the companies that are part of this alliance.

    I don’t know if it’s Chinese, but it ain’t cheap.

    Having driven a Polestar 2 made in China, I’m sorry but the quality isn’t there. I will happily stick with Japanese, Korean, American, Mexican or European cars…
