Impact of Biden Administration's Tariffs on Chinese EVs

The Biden administration announced a 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicle imports to the US. This decision was aimed at curbing the influx of inexpensive Chinese EVs into the US market, which were powered by Chinese government subsidies. Musk expressed surprise at the tariffs and highlighted Tesla's ability to compete effectively in China without the need for tariffs or special support. Despite facing challenges like weakened consumer demand, Tesla reported its steepest revenue decline since 2012, with Musk advocating against tariffs and tax incentives for electric vehicles.
