The recent Smarter Every Day video on trying to build a "simple" product in the US was quite revealing. Avoiding China produced parts is close to impossible. Not only that, high skill jobs such as tooling design have been outsourced too, so the idea that China is just running the machines is outdated.

All these companies have pumped billions every year into China and are now surprised they can't compete.

Thanks for your comment. I think we will eventually choose the Skoda. The design of the tavascan is a bit too much for a family car anyways.

They own the means of production

Thanks you for your advice!
