If you want Elon to read your message, you have to throw in some insults, something like: "Look *******, you're *** needs to import 49,000 cars from Shanghai. Are you dumb?"

You get major bragging rights for that!
I don't post anything on X, I only browse posts.

And nobody important would like or reply back even if I did post anything. Lol

I have a feeling that the Chinese government will be controlling who gets to send those cars to Canada.

Tesla and Ford/Toyota and GM should have the early start as there cars will likely immediately pass Canadian regulations for safely. And then the Chinese brands will start to ship. Could be right the government may control what cars are sent.

Apparently, BYD already has a manufacturing plant in Canada. They make Electric buses. It won’t be long before BYD starts to make cars locally.

Ford/Toyota/GM would need to change their models and that would make no sense.

Now, BYD has big presence in central and south america, so that would make sense too. I assume some other big ones like one of the Cherry brands as well as Geely.

LOL, this is the Xpeng G9. The official website states 580 kilometers of range, which is about 360 miles. If you convert 932 kilometers to miles, you get 580 miles. Someone did the math wrong there. Do people stop and think before regurgitating information?
