If our domestic market won't give us the cheap EV we have been begging for, then I'll take a cheap Chinese car.

Sounds like Ford might be the answer here if they release a cheap car.

Tesla all but cancelled their cheap EV by firing the whole new car development teams yesterday.

We will eventually have a golden age for cheap EVs, it's just too bad the domestic market is going to be so far behind.
