That's a funny tale, when in reality they subsidised EVs for years via discounts the producers pocketed fully anyway. And guess what happened when those subsidies were stopped 3 weeks ago... Now that the production is up they instantly lowered prices by even more than the original discounts to be competive.

But I guess those idiots simply did not understand economics and got lucky...
