minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-21 day agoI agree, western automakers could easily lower prices. Get rid of unions Lower wages in auto manufacturing AND every industry in the supply chain (mining, etc). Every country that manufactures cars needs to mine and produce its own materials (may need to create more humans to work these industries) The engineers and designers at BYD make less money than assembly line workers in Germany or the US.
