German carmakers were already in hot water before trump
在特朗普上台之前，德国汽车制造商就已经陷入了困境

German auto makers have been resting on their laurels for decades. Make a competitive product at a competitive price and you will be fine.
德国汽车制造商几十年来一直安于现状。以有竞争力的价格生产有竞争力的产品，你就会成功。

Germany should try making better EVs rather than relying on old legacy branding and blaming China. We all know German EV cars are poor, especially on software side.
德国应该尝试生产更好的电动汽车，而不是依赖旧的传统品牌和指责中国。我们都知道德国的电动汽车很差，尤其是在软件方面。

Energy is so expensive in Germany and they ended up destroying their nuclear energy industry, what a tomfoolery action to take...
德国的能源太贵了，最终摧毁了他们的核能工业，他们采取了多么愚蠢的行动…

The biggest advantage to China in all of these trade wars and trade restriction from US and EU is - the west self-entitlement, reluctancy to change, not wanting to humble down and do the basics, and overall in denial of the changing world order from west to the east and global south.
China has a government but their policies are flexble especially in economics, whereas the west has liberal governments but very rigid economic policy. China is more capitalist in many ways than the west. Very interesting contrast!
面对贸易战和来自美国和欧盟的贸易限制，中国最大的优势是——西方不愿改变，不谦虚，不想做基本的事情，总体上否认从西方到东方和全球南方不断变化的世界秩序。
中国的政策是灵活的，特别是在经济方面，而西方经济政策非常僵化。中国在很多方面都比西方更资 本主义。非常有趣的对比！

Why German car makers not competitive? China's fault I see. Always someone else is at fault never take responsibility.
为什么德国汽车制造商没有竞争力？我知道是中国的错，总是别人有错，自己从不承担责任。

German automakers, particularly Audi, BMW and Mercedes, should recognise that their reputation has fallen apart and that they are no longer regarded as premium brands which replaced with Porsche. Chinese automobiles look quality, are affordable, and have current technology that BMW and Mercedes have failed to offer and compete on.
德国汽车制造商，尤其是奥迪、宝马和梅赛德斯，应该认识到它们的声誉已经崩溃，它们不再被视为高端品牌，取而代之的是保时捷。中国汽车质量好，价格实惠，而且拥有宝马和奔驰未能提供且无法竞争的最新技术。

Hopefully europe stands together on this and at the same time lessens the need of usa... So more domestic production if possible.
希望欧洲在这个问题上团结一致，同时减少对美国的需求…因此，如果可能的话，更多在国内生产。

EU: proceeds to impose tariffs on chinese EVs
US: proceeds to impose tariffs on all imported goods, including European cars
EU:
欧盟：将对中国电动汽车征收关税
美国：对包括欧洲汽车在内的所有进口商品征收关税
欧盟：……

The profit rate of Tesla has grown 18% this quarter, the number for BYD is +13%.
But for all the old brand Germany Autos, they all experienced decline in profit, ranging from -15% to -70%.
特斯拉本季度的利润率增长了18%，比亚迪的利润率增长了13%。
而所有老牌德国汽车，它们的利润都出现了下降，幅度从-15%到-70%不等。

Until Tesla came along the Germans were happy to sell very expensive models with 150hp, now they woke up and started offering more powerful standard cars. It's a sign of how they do business basically
在特斯拉出现之前，德国人很乐意销售非常昂贵的150马力车型，现在他们觉醒了，开始提供更大动力的标准车，这是他们做生意的基本方式。

What a BS. Stats show like 70% people would love BEV if price, range and infrastructure would be right.
一派胡言。数据显示，如果价格、续航里程和配置合适，大约70%的人会喜欢纯电动汽车。

Now they're happy because they can blame Trump for their own mistakes.
现在他们很高兴，因为他们可以把自己的错误归咎于特朗普。

I toured with the German American Chamber of Commerce in 2019 exploring mobility solutions in Germany among the manufacturers and the government entities. There was a lot of talking.....but this current situation is what happens when there is no real leadership to make progress in one direction or the other. Five years of drift and now the panic?
2019年，我与德美商会一起在德国的制造商和政府机构中探索移动解决方案，谈了很多.....但目前的情况是，当没有真正的领导在一个方向或另一个方向取得进展时，就会发生这种情况。随波逐流了五年，现在又开始恐慌了？

The main issue with the Western car industry is that it can't make a cheap car. Tariffs will NOT help them because Western people's purchasing power is diminishing due to inflation.
I KNOW THE IDEA BEHIND TARIFFS ... Tariffs are created to be one of the sources of income to the government !!
西方汽车工业的主要问题是造不出便宜的汽车。加关税也无济于事，因为西方人民的购买力由于通货膨胀而下降。我知道关税背后的想法……关税是政府的收入来源之一！！

Trump is unpredictable so is his future policy towards European automakers.
特朗普要做什么是不可预测的，他对欧洲汽车制造商的未来政策也是如此。

If we, Americans, do not have any spare money, who's going to buy your cars, Germany? Tariffs hike is how we can get some money to buy your products eventually
如果我们美国人没有多余的钱，谁来买你们的车，德国人？提高关税，我们最终能赚到钱来购买你们产品

AVOID GERMAN CARS at all cost.
不惜一切代价避开德国车。

Soon German car industry will look like Italian car industry.
很快，德国的汽车工业将和意大利的汽车工业一样。

Watching the change in rhetoric on EVs, the true colors of the US and EU showing, and them poo their pants is really something
看到美国和欧盟在电动汽车问题上言论的变化，看到他们的真面目，看到他们尿裤子
@omgsam2263
the world is no longer G7 centric. the develo world is the alternative market for China product when it losing the western market. American can impose high tariff on chinese products but then the chinese will sell to develo world instead. not end of the world. but western consumers should prepare for the high inflation.
世界不再以七国集团为中心。当中国失去西方市场时，发展中国家成了中国产品的替代市场。美国可以对中国产品征收高关税，但中国会把产品卖给发展中国家。虽然不是世界末日，但西方消费者应该为高通胀做好准备。

Tariffs would slow the transition to EVs down and make new EVs even more expensive... If car manufacturers had listened to the consumer like VW did when they first introduced the VW Beetle they would not have been in trouble. People are tired of expensive cars that are way to britle, complicated and hard to repair. Why are cars software locked? Why do we need speciality tools? Why do we need external diagnostic software when a new car already has the electronics to have this included in the vehicle?
The greed of Western car manufacturers are just ridiculous and I hope the Chinese can give them a valuable lesson and make cars affordable and repairable again.
关税将减缓向电动汽车的过渡，并使新电动汽车更加昂贵……如果汽车制造商能像大众首次推出大众甲壳虫时那样倾听消费者的意见，他们就不会陷入困境。
人们厌倦了昂贵的汽车，这些汽车很脆弱，结构复杂，难以维修。为什么汽车是软件锁定的？为什么我们需要专业工具？
当一辆新车已经有了电子设备，我们为什么还需要外部诊断软件呢？西方汽车制造商的贪婪是荒谬的，我希望中国人能给他们一个昂贵的教训，让汽车再次变得物美价廉

Is Europe really that dependent of usa? Can´t we leave usa alone when thats what they want as de ocratic country? I think we can survive without trump
欧洲真的那么依赖美国吗？难道我们就不能离开美国吗？我觉得没有特朗普我们也能活下去

Does the EU produce more cars than it sells in the EU? I'm not sure it does. If you want to have a car industry in 10 years time then you need to keep Chinese cars out completely and only buy European cars. Hard luck for manufacturers who invested in China but business is risky and sometimes you lose. The UK used to have a large car industry but it played the free-trade game and lost nearly all of it.
欧盟生产的汽车比欧盟在售的汽车多吗？我不太确定。如果你想在10年内拥有一个汽车工业，那么你需要完全把中国汽车拒之门外，只买欧洲汽车。在中国投资的制造商运气不好，但生意有风险，有时你会输。英国曾经拥有庞大的汽车工业，但它参与了自由贸易的游戏，几乎失去了所有的汽车工业。

Oh well. VW's & BMW's stuff is junk any. Just like most stuff these days. Too many subcontractors involved. Too much unneeded equipment and too high of a price.
大众和宝马都是垃圾。就像现在的大多数东西一样。牵涉到太多的分包商。太多不需要的设备，价格过高。

The European Union (EU) increased tariffs on electric vehicles made in China to as much as 45.3% on Wednesday after unsuccessful negotiations with the country. The bloc formally approved on Tuesday tariffs ranging from 7.8% to 35.3%, in addition to the EU's standard 10% car import duty
在与中国谈判失败后，欧盟周三将中国制造的电动汽车的关税提高到45.3%。欧盟周二正式批准了在10%的标准汽车进口关税之外加征7.8%至35.3%的关税

Regardless, Europe especially germany is gone.

Plenty of vw,bmw,and Mercedes are made in the USA and Mexco. They'll be fine.
大众、宝马和奔驰的很多车都是在美国和墨西哥生产的。他们会没事的。
