    Not really. Tesla builds cars and a lot of components in China now and probably wants to start exporting them for cheap.

      The irony here is the US’ (Musk is now part of the government, mind you) constant threatening about tariffs on EU imports. But when someone imposes tariffs (that are lesser than on Tesla’s competition) on one of their companies (and only products from one region), they gotta sue. Whiny little crybaby.

      Yes and you can see the greed they have, not only they have lower tariffs that the rest of Chinese manufacturers, not only that they benefit greatly by these same tariffs because they cannot compete neither by cost nor quality, but they sue to be completely exempt from them… Fucking pathetic…

          Iirc the EU did a big study on which manufacturer benefits how much from state subsidies in China and then set the tariffs accordingly for each of them.
