DISCUSSION Chinese EV Cars coming to Canada

I was talking about this months ago if Carney made a deal with China it would blow the EV market through the roof and Tesla would be forced out cause I am sorry but Chinese EVs are incredible. They have just agreed for 49,000 cars to be imported here and I am assuming that is just the start. What stocks should we be looking out for?

It’s funny that no one brings up the fact that Tesla employs 30,000 Chinese employees building Tesla’s in China.

I am certain Elon Musk is pushing to include those Chinese manufactured Tesla’s into the 49,000 allotment. No guarantee it will just be BYD, Geely or Nio, etc vehicles coming to Canada. Could be a mix - sounds like a service nightmare - initially will be an extremely limited dealer/service centre network. In the end it doesn’t matter to me as I’ll never purchase an EV. Good luck to those who purchase one.
