This upcoming competition means that it’s incredibly important for US makers to figure out how to profitably make inexpensive electric vehicles, instead of merely focusing on the biggest most expensive trucks and SUVs

This is true, but companies also have workers, who support communities. Those that fucked around will not be those finding out, even if their portfolios perform poorly.
Oh no! The Mexican workers building domestic cars will now be building Chinese cars!
If the companies gave a shit about the workers we wouldn’t be having this discussion either. We’d have EVs the workers built instead of clinging desparately to ICE and petroleum.
They don’t give a shit. Detroit already showed that decades ago. Why are they being intractable assholes about producing a good affordable EV? Well, the answer’s in the question - they’re intractable assholes.
