Its the cheap Chinese cars that are still in the running for cheaper even with 100% tariff. Suddenly they don't have to make 5000% percent profit.

Did you just make this up? Because that's not at all what this article says, and Chinese EVs are a puny crumb of the US car market right now

They are a threat to sales. Biden signed a 100% tariff on Chinese EV's. Even at 100% some are still are cheaper than US EV's.

Ok, but Chinese EVs are barely even on the market in the US right now and are not going to influence prices given their limited volume. Prices are going down due to the factors listed on the article, not due to hypothetical competition

They can see it coming and be sure it is. Some people try to get ahead of a problem. Most just sit around in bewilderment until it arrives.

Whatever you're talking about right now, it has nothing to do with actual EV prices in the US today
