They'd be stupid not to

Very true

Biden is literally trying to put them out of jobs. But sheep follow what they are told to by their overlords.

It will be inaction from a second Biden term (God save us) that does it though.

Chinese automaker BYD has set its sights on Mexico as its quest for global expansion turns toward North America.

The Shenzhen-based car company, whose rapid growth has made it one of the world’s largest electric-vehicle sellers, is scouting locations in the country for a factory, from which it would consider exporting cars to the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter.

The plans show rising enthusiasm within China’s car industry for expansion to North America, despite the political risks. Building cars in Mexico for the U.S. would allow the automakers to avoid hefty import tariffs that would be applied if they were to send them directly from China.

CEOs at rival automakers have warned about the potential threat from China, with some suggesting the need for more government action to avert such competition in the U.S. These executives are concerned about what they see as a big cost advantage enjoyed by their Chinese competitors in EVs.

In recent weeks, executives at some Western car companies have become more vocal about the potential threat these Chinese firms pose to their own EV plans. Through a mix of engineering, government subsidies and lower labor costs, BYD and other China-based EV makers have been able to lure customers with stylish and technologically advanced EVs at attractive prices.

On Thursday, Carlos Tavares, chief executive of Chrysler-parent Stellantis, said it was imperative the global automaker be able to match its Chinese rivals on cost, or it would risk ceding ground. He described their expansion as “very powerful” and likened their potential entry in the U.S. to the arrival of the Japanese automakers in the 1970s and South Korean firms in the 1990s.

“You can see it in the European markets,” Tavares said during a conference call with analysts. “We may not want to see—a third time—the same movie.”

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has also expressed similar concerns, saying the Chinese companies have already had significant success outside of China and are now the “most competitive” in the world.

Without a pro-American worker administation the federal government taking steps to stop it (i.e. pursuing legal and regulatory actions to make sure the same tariff is applied to Chineses EVs made in Mexico as the ones made in China) Chinese EVs will begin entering the US market after 2025. That will kill the EV projects that Biden has promised the UAW and Biden's push for EVs will do serious harm to the IC automobile manufacturing. The UAW believes that Biden, democrats, and Wall Street will stick to promises to transition to EVs if Biden is reelected. However, Elon Musk and other executives see the writing on the wall. Hopefully the UAW members will see it too before November.

Unfortunately he is the only presidential candidate in history to boost voter turnout for the opposing party.

This is the union placating its members much more than the union supporting Trump.
