    If something is being so heavily subsidized, the correct market response is to buy as much as possible, and resell once the prices ramp up.

    Setting up tariffs and complaining about subsidies? 100% not the “free market” response. It’s cope.

      Are you trying to be funny or something? Used electric cars aren‘t exactly going up in price. What a bunch of nonsense. Talking about cope.

      True, even Milton Friedman (barf) said we should be thankful if someone wants to subsides our lives. Besides these market extremists say all government intervention is bound to fail, so they should have nothing to fear letting the BYDs in. The socialist subsidy of BYD will collapse and we don’t want the government distorting our market either.

      This isn’t really my personal take, but i like using their own logic to reach a conclusion they will hate.
