    Thanks for the follow up. It is worth mentioning that both Tesla and Cuprsa Tavascan are not Chinese owned.

    The biggest/most popular Chinese manufacturers in the EU are BYD, SAIC, Geely, NIO and Xpeng.

      It is not who owns the company that matters, but that they are made in China, and how much the factory has been subsidiced. The Tavascan is built on a Chinese owned factory, where VW has a minority ownership.

        VW has 75% ownership in the Tavascan factory since 2020.

        VW got an exemption on the additional import fees based on certain conditions (agreements on minimum selling price level, EU car industry investment assurances)
