    They would love to do it to the US too and due to US manufacturing having their head in the sand… we’re ripe for the picking

    Provides affordable and practical electric vehicles UPENDS ENTIRE AUTO MARKET!!

    I suppose that’s one way of putting it, but why is this a bad thing? Is it better for the vehicle market in Thailand to stay dominated by Japan? Japan have been dragging their heels on developing EVs and it seems silly to protect such an arrangement, especially when Thailand is aiming for 30% EV production.
