  • Non-Chinese alternatives? Research shows limited viable options. Most are luxury models with restricted availability or production constraints. Belgian-built Volvos and Japanese EVs struggle with volume and range limitations. North American EV sales hit only 140,000 units in February 2025 - pitiful compared to China’s manufacturing capacity.

    Tesla’s flaws are well-documented - 27th out of 28 brands for reliability, Autopilot safety incidents, detaching roofs, and makeshift “band-aid” cooling systems. But you’re missing the bigger picture.

    While we argue over Musk’s Twitter antics, China’s BYD overtook Tesla globally. VW Group already outran Tesla in January, selling 82k units versus Tesla’s declining 57k. Canadian retaliatory policies excluding Tesla from rebates creates perfect market opening for Chinese manufacturers.

    The data confirms China’s manufacturing strategy succeeds while North America cycles between contradictory incentives and tariffs. Typical consumer-level analysis ignoring global industrial competition.
