The US market was easier to access.
EU was second easiest.

Now the the EU market is easiest, and US is ranked far below the EU.

There's still good margin, but it's amazing how quickly costs inflate.

And it is 90% depending on the oil price. As it adds a significant amount on each step.

Yeah, the stupid Chinese haters do not realize that.
Just as if a company is rich enough to run two production lines: one for cheap crap and one for expensive top notch stuff. And two supply lines and there are gabs out there that only produce trash for the cheap trash above ...

Look at those myths that Chines cars would not meet European safety standards.
Well, I really wonder how they can be here in Frankfurt all over the place.

I guess they are only rebranded Teslas or something ... Makes sense, right?

Is even shooging against the law now?

It's not that much of a change, though. The USA has only ever paid lip-service to its "allies" and always seen Europe as competitors. It's not a shift from "friend" to "enemy", just from "competitor" to "enemy".

This "junk market" is driven by the customers.
They want that stuff, so the providers fill that market.

Exactly. Whatever the rules are going to be; they need to be objective, entirely impartial, deterministic in their metrics and outcomes, and published and known to ALL parties in advance. No pinhead bureaucrat or crooked politico should have any say whatsoever beyond "Is this number higher or lower than this other number?". NO moving targets, NONE of that "definition of obscenity" BS that you already mentioned.

And what exactly is wrong with that?
White imperialist christian colonial rapist and plunderer?
Asshole very much? You asshole can rule the planet and the dipshits have to eat dust?

My wallet will stay closed to memory purchases for the duration of this price spike.

With his age, weight, and diet*; by all rights he should already be dead. Never mind the fact that he has denied wearing makeup** in the past, which adds cirrhosis or hepatitis to the mix as well. I'm think he must have injected some stem cells from Jackie Chan, Keith Richards, or a Florida cockroach. So I'm not betting on an early exit.

* Not to mention the stress of the job. Look at before & after every pictures of every other president. That job ages people something like two years for every one spent in office.

** Yes, I know. He's such a pathological lying stack of crap that he lies about silly and trivial things like that too. But I also don't get why anyone would WANT to look like they're always about to drop dead from liver failure.

Lol... no, it's definitely about oil. Since the end of the Cold War; aside from the oil, literally the only reason for us to go on foreign misadventures in that entire region at all is the Suez Canal. And protecting just the canal would cost a fraction of the money we burn over there. Of course, with Putin's determination to rekindle the Cold War... or even go hot... once his cockholster in the White House is gone, we and Russia will probably make the same mistakes and prop up our traditional pawns on the regional chess board again. But that does not change the fact that for over thirty years now, subsidizing cheap access to oil has been the only reason.

Strange, they are sold everywhere.
Even with the stupid tariffs, they meet your price limit.

Oh, you are living in the USA, where the battery myth/lie is very strong?

Don't worry. By 2035, Dear Leader will have abolished all of those "WOKE" hybrids and the smaller "LEFTIST" economical petrol cars. We'll be cruising around on land yachts... the BEST land yachts... better than SAD little cars the shithole countries of the world use. And they'll be powered by beautiful CLEAN COAL; with our very own black gangs shoveling it into the REAL GOOD fireboxes that CROOKED HILLARY banned for NO REASON except that she's a NASTY woman who full of HATE and she wants to spite the REAL Americans.

Which turbine?
The steam turbine or the gas turbine?
The gas turbine is synched to the grid in 30seconds or less and on full output in 90sec.
