    Oh, and this'll brighten your day........

    I have a customer that is in the Bay Area. I sell them IGBT Power Transistor modules (manufactured in Germany) for their motor drives. They are shipping these IGBT modules to their contract manufacturer in China. I just sent off a Certificate of Origin (Germany) to the customer. Had those same modules been manufactured in the U.S., they would have been subject to a 25% tariff. As they were manufactured in Germany/not in the U.S., there are zero Tariff charges.

    I would have held back on the Certificates because fuck buying from China.

    So, that site is taking the tax credit off of an advertised price that already factors in the tax credit. And at the same time, 20k for a 75hp city car seems pretty fair. But honestly, they won't sell well in the US, too slow for people.
     
    Oh, I can see it already... the 'warranty/recall' gong-show is going to be epic.

    On top of that, the chinese-to-Engrish translation of the owners manual is going to be interspersed with the words:
    Broccoli
    Colander
    Sensual
    Extra
    Turbo Super
    and
    The smell of the number 9 when it is painted Purple.

    then there's the fine print.....

    Well, look on the bright side......you’re not likely to run across the term “do the needful”. :rolleyes:
     
    Funny or not people will buy this, A lot of people will. take are taking more American Jobs and more companies may shot down, Call me paranoid but it always starts with a droplet and before you know it they are here to stay.
     
    Great another piece of shit, smug assholes will cut me off with no signal in, because the fucking entitled pricks think they own the road. Another thing, just more shit to get plugged into the already (because dems are retards) overloaded electrical grid.

    We should mirror the tariffs they wield against American products.
    I'm of the opinion this would be a win/win.

    One can only hope...

    Catch fire and in the process melt the ECU that controls the door locks...and hopefully all the interior is made from nasty shit that burns really hot and nasty...

    Sorry @Aries256 post about smug assholes driving these things set me off....assholes...
    Heh been nearly clipped by these smug filled morons too eh? Or got caught on single lane no passing road behind one of them doing 20 in a 55 relentlessly braking as they dick around on their phone or keep eye humping themselves in front of their vanity mirror?

    How about we bring home all essential manufacturing and them return them to the stone age where they belong, Start with the damn and go from there.
