to save US losers in the EV game.
Tesla is becoming a US loser as its sales fall, especially in its previous home of California.
China has risen to a new level in technology and low price.
Protectionism has never produced a winner.
Robo taxis are operating in Wuhan China. US EVmakers are still fantasizing while the Chinese are implementing.
Even tire makers in Western countries are closing their factories.
It is too late. The game is already lost.
Tesla and Musk have fallen behind China in technology in both the EVs and in their manufacture.
