the only ones currently making any profit rn are those selling shitboxes to india and africa, like suzuki
everyone else is either losing profit because nobody buys new, losing profit because byd dumps cars onto market at half price, or are byd who are operating at a loss by design, in a concentrated attempt by the ccp to murder automotive industries worldwide by using china's infinite money and power

Sad but true.

>byd who are operating at a loss by design, in a concentrated attempt by the ccp to murder automotive industries worldwide by using china's infinite money and power
why is this a bad thing?

>$200k car
>if you want it in blue that's an extra $12k
>if you want cloth seats that's an extra $2k
>cupholders? extra $4k fuck you
>oh and it's a 911 so you need to buy 15 boxters before we even think of putting you on a waiting list for one
>wait wtf why are we losing money???

>infinite money and power

you don't want china to become the global hegemony
with america in power, sure, lots of shit sucks, but their party line is "we are all the same people, some are just misguided, maybe lacking in democracy"
you can coexist with america if you are smart, and you can even become a real american if you are good enough
with china, if you are not chinese, you are an enemy, and a defeated enemy is trash to be taken out
you will forever be a fifth class citizen, below even prison camp uighurs (these poor sods at least know mandarin, you are mute to them)
if they allow you to exist in the first place, that is

>>28534255
>but their party line is "we are all the same people
but we are not all chosen people

>>28534255
it's not like muttistan makes my life easy. $37T national debt from fighting israeli wars and giving money to corporations. infinite outsourcing to pajeets. 20 million brown illegals still here despite the """deportations.""" id rather take my chances as a second class citizen to the chinks. at least i would get infrastructure and a totalitarianism government the benefits people rather than the small hat tribe.

Brutal. Maybe they can find an even cheaper alloy for cylinder sleeves to save a few Pennies

boohoo rabbi no more billions to Israel when the US economy goes down the shitter.

Not how that works for a non-GT car, but you're such a gullible goy you'll believe it. I put $1,000 down and got put in the queue to have my 911 built.

no way, next thing you'll tell me is cupholders aren't a $4k option.

>>28534287
yes, but america says great people are born all around the world, and if they are great they will gravitate towards america, the land of the great
if you are garbage, you are garbage because you don't work hard enough towards being chosen, not because you happened to be born in the wrong place or to wrong parents
not the case with chinks
if you are not born to chinese parents, you are garbage
if you are born to chinese parents but not in china, you are garbage, and if you also don't vocally support china despite never seeing it, you are double garbage, know your roots gweilo
if you are born chinese in china but not under chinese communist party (in taiwan or hong kong), you are a traitor, uber garbage
if you are born chinese but dared to move out, all your lineage is garbage
and they are lying motherfuckers, if you are great and they need your service, they will invite you with sickly sweet pretend hospitality, convince you to stay, milk you dry, and only then tell you that you are actually garbage and either kick you out or find a reason to jail and torture you forever so that nobody else gets your greatness
>>28534289
you will not be a second class citizen, you will not get infrastructure, you will be sent into a megafactory and worked to death with no access to anything but bare necessities to survive. and they won't let you do that in peace, white monkey shall be paraded naked and laughed at, you gonna pay for the century of humilation by eternity of humiliation

individuals can live in an american world. they might have to suffer, move, break connections or even change their world view entirely, but with hard enough work, they can find a place to live peacefully. with china, you are an enemy by default, and nothing ever will change that. same with muslims, though they will never rule the world because unlike china they are too busy making enemies out of each other so you don't need to worry about these clowns

vroom, i am talking about cars

What nonsense is this? The US is literally doing everything we were told China would do. Like, what could China do that'd be worse? Actually declare war and start attacking everyone? That's terrible for business and China is about business first and foremost.

Porsche/Merc/BMW/Audi:
>yeah that will be 150k for this car. We build it for 70k but we want 150k. You can buy some chinese car if you dont like it
>people buy chinese car or used same car for 80k
>NOOO HOW COULD YOUUUU

>>28534480
>The US is literally doing everything we were told China would do.
like what
the us has had no tiananmen square moment
the american government is turbulent, fallible, makes mistakes and owns up to them eventually

the chinese government is a literal autocratic dictatorship disguised as a socialist democracy

>>28534480
while america is in power? nothing, they have to maintain their image of a benevolent dictatorship
the moment they feel empowered? they'll start invading everyone around them, starting with siberia as a test of waters, then "liberating" taiwan, and then in a circle, mongolia, southeast asia, then the world
they will take everything, consume all and leave barren land, chinese greed is insatiable
so is american, but with them you can at least commit treason and move onto the winning side on a whim

>>28534488
There's been a ton of questionable shit going on in the US, just because you didn't get an epic picture to post on xitter doesn't mean shit isn't important. And again, the textbook China bad scenario is China using your economic dependence on them to strongarm you into falling in line, giving them anything they want while they publicly humiliate you as a propaganda move, with ever present threats of military action that sooner or later might turn to reality. Sounds a lot like current day US.

Underrated post.
Watch retarded children seethe and cope about MUH BRICS.
The moment China has the same say in this world as the US has now, they will be raped and gaped so much that they will beg for the evil US to come back in power.
I'm from Eastern Europe btw. When we distanced ourselves from Russia and got in with the west, things started looking up here. You have to be delusional to want to be under China or Russia's power.

>>28534229 (OP)
It is almost like the gravy train of government handouts and free money to NGOs and free give-me's are over. People need to get back to work and do shit.

And I think the COVID madness was a speed run to remove the wool from people's eyes about consumerism. There is absolutely a need for a car... but do you need a luxury car? You'er stuck in the same traffic as a 15 year old used toyota camery. We still have a long way to go but I want to see everyone who bought a car for over $80k to get ass fucked financially.

>>28534524
eh. russia is a melting pot, so while yes, no freedoms and mandatory lada granta in every household (it rusts away in 5 years so you'll have to buy another one before you paid off previous one), you can at least bullshit your way into not being treated worse than everyone else. china is a monoculture, you can't be a green banana.

>>28534236
>BYD is operating at a loss
Sounds like some cope you made up. They're not competing with Porsche anyway, they're for different customers. Porsche is fucking up all by themselves.

>>28534430
>I put $1,000 down and got put in the queue to have my 911 built.
NTA but if there is a waiting list for any car, it means demand is outpacing supply. How are they losing so much money if there is such a high demand for $100k+ cars they've been making for decades?

>>28534229 (OP)
Kek, Porkey are sperging because people buy their electric cars (up +318% YoY), instead of their overpriced fartmobiles, which leads to massively reduced margins (since electric cars bring in minuscule profits, unless you're Tesla or chingchongdingdong).

>>28534249
So your theory is that people just all smartened up within a year?

>>28534546
>it rusts away in 5 years so you'll have to buy another one before you paid off previous one
Better than mercedes, ford or goyota rusting away 3 years into the warranty that the manufacturer won't honor.

>>28534229 (OP)
>Operating profit
They're still profitable, they're doing fine.

When they start actually losing money is when you need to pay attention.
