North America soon, right? Yes, I know about the new tarriffs. but if they build the batteries and cars right here, they should be exempt from those. Or have the rules changed again?
Well, that's the point of tariffs. It's not to completely shut people out, its to get them to build shit here
Of course, the issue is that the US DOES want to completely shut the Chinese out, so there won't be a factory in North America\* anytime soon
\*Besides Mexico for the Mexican market
Are you sure? I'm convinced STLA wanted to build Leapmotors in Belvedere or Brampton at some point, possibly flogging Chrysler badges on them in the process.
Honestly fuck stellantis, They are killing all their brands forcing them to make stupid generic cars. I'm looking at you Tonale/Hornet/Compass/Rampage/Commander or whatever else they try to name you next. Turning companies with great legacies like Alfa Romeo and Dodge into Fiat.
A bit different. Volvo was a Swedish company that the Chinese acquired in order to gain access to their design and brand value. That actually took place before the huge EV transition happened. It just worked out really well once they realized that Swedish design/brand + Chinese EV tech is a great combination.
Whereas Stellantis invested in LeapMotor to gain access to their EV technology and product offering to begin with.

Yes it’s when Chinese criminals turn stolen tech aka someone else’s property and use the legitimate ahole the screwed Jeep to clean up the stolen profits
