All Chinese cars that would be sold in the USA would meet the minimum standards required by the NHTSA. Their EVs would be sold at a price so low that Tesla could not match for similar standards. They are having significant success in Europe.

If the Chinese are ever allowed to dump their EVs into the USA without major tariffs then the Tesla stock price will collapse.
