I think Europe or Canada should make EVs, and Greenland being given incentives to tap into their minerals to feed the materials necessary for the project. Greenland gets closer to independence, and whoever makes the cars gets to piss on Musk. Win-win, no need for the risk of CCP becoming too influential within democratic governments.
...While trade is a good thing, I think that maintaining at least a moderate level of manufacturing industry and sciences within your nation or cultural sphere to be very important. Just in case things get weird, like how 2025 has been.
If things keep getting worse, could Canada in theory steal IP and just try to make the best EV it can by copying others including Tesla (if itโs worth copying)?
Itโs a great time to boost Canadian manufacturing. Hint hint Ottawa
On that front, they pretty much already were doing that. The big battery plant in Windsor should be ready to start ramping up production later this year. There was a lot more, but most of it has been paused since Ford decided to delay EV production at Oakville.
Switching from one Authoritarian to another is never the solution.
Or maintain and drive the car you already have. There are more options then Tesla and BYD. These are probably the worst options.
