While the US and EU are putting up barriers to Chinese cars, Australians are buying them at record levels

Yes?
I don’t know how many of them are actually built in Australia, mind, in the same way that many American cars aren’t built here (or are vaguely assembled from parts built elsewhere)
Most of them build track cars and the like. There is certainly no mainstream car manufacturers left.
Now I’m picturing Mad Max cars…
and now I wonder what Mad Max would look like with EVs? Would they fight over batteries?
Holden was the only real one. And a few firms used to produce locally. Then the government didn’t offer any subsidies to keep them on shore. They all shut down and left the country. Now everything is imported. Real shame. They were great pipelines of talent.
