the US Commerce Department has declined to authorize imports of new Polestars from model year 2027 onward as part of a rule banning connected cars from automakers with Chinese links
Would the cars be allowed if connectivity were cut off? That could be a net win for consumers.
No. The action is rooted in protectionism of corporations that give money to the president and/or publicly praise him. If the pretext was mooted, the two of them would find a new pretext, and pretend the previous one never existed. This pattern has repeated countless times in the last year or so.
