About this listen

You think the car market is safe? Think again.

Your next car probably won’t be a Ford, Toyota, or VW — and it may be built in your backyard. China’s automakers aren’t trying to win by shipping more cars — they’re winning by building inside the markets that tried to shut them out.
In this episode we break down the bold, real strategy behind that shift: speed, cost, and total control of the supply chain.

What you’ll learn:
• How Chinese makers (like BYD) are bypassing tariffs by building factories in Europe, Mexico, Brazil and beyond.
• The 3 secrets giving them a permanent cost advantage: faster product cycles, cheaper factory build costs, and vertical integration (batteries, chips, parts).
• Why tariffs didn’t stop them — and how “Made in Europe/Mexico” changes the game.
• What this means for prices, features, and the future of legacy automakers.
