China car giant BYD says it can thrive without US

Soon enough there will be no market in America.

BYD would need to invest in a bunch of things to enter the US market:

- Lobbyists and bribes to repeal the corrupt Elon Musk protectionism

- PR and marketing to increase brand trust and awareness

- Homologation (country-specific changes/features) to meet all 50 states and federal standards

- Crash testing

- Sales/fulfillment centers

- Service centers*

- Parts distribution network*

* Maybe combined with previous item

These would be a lot of expensive things to invest in without a giant, certain upside.
