It feels unrealistic. Remember EU's DMA which targeted Apple's app installation restrictions? That Act still has done nothing of value and Apple has so far given the EU a middle finger. Isn't open sourcing Tesla a much bigger ask?

Laws must be enforceable, otherwise what's the point...

With enough oversight, I can buy the safety part. Without rigid oversight, you may end up with self-igniting batteries. When it comes to security, America is a low bar.

There is also an ethical component to the critique of Chinese goods in general, which concerns the CCPs actions and policies. Let's not ignore that.

My point was, China is not better than the US. I'm sure Canada can do better than that, if they cooperate with other countries.

Bad idea. China isn't better than the US, and their EVs are a safety and security risk in and of themselves.

I can imagine Canada being in a position to collaborate with friendly countries to develop a safe, secure and open alternative to Tesla and "CCP-mobiles". If that becomes a reality, everyone benefits.
