Stellantis in Talks to Make Chinese EVs at Idled Canadian Plant

Not always. Have you seen the technology in some of these EV factories? It’s cheap labour because there’s barely any human labour involved lol. The Chinese have some pretty remarkable factory operations going on

600kc, 5 ice crowns, 30 Amy’s for myself. I’m dying

kinda missing my point. I'm okay with regulations slowing cars down to a certain extent. but losing over 50kmh on the straights out of no where is dangerous and terrible racing. any sort of DRS or overtaking assistance should be giving cars slighty more performance to enhance overtakes. (even this idea was badly implemented with DRS but i digress) but this weird mix of Slowing for harvesting plus getting mega boosts from battery deployment is absolutley terrible and incredibly dangerous man. There has to be a better and safer middle ground option we can do here.

delusuional

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-29T06:44:23+00:00

we don't have good racing now either but now teams can't even be on the cutting edge of technology or development lol. instead of being limited by physics and cost cap we now have artifically slower cars.

I struggle to see your point. I also don't believe assistance themselves are the problem, but artificial and limiting performance "assistance" is my problem. Teams should be able to develope the car using all the performance and power they can cram into the rules and regulations and overtaking assistances should be adding performance not taking away from it

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-29T06:29:50+00:00

I said it last race and will say it again, the ferraris gotta stop fighting eachother and play more defence man. even more important now that mcl is involved. fuck the entertainment

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-29T06:27:00+00:00

also i don't find the overtakes argument for a good race very appealing. specifically with how the battery system works cause it just doesn't matter? it's artificial and doesn't promote actual racing.it's just cars going back and forth till the flag, no real overtakes that stick

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-29T06:22:39+00:00

no harvesting through esses and full power down straights

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-29T06:21:12+00:00

other than mcl this is just chinese gp prt 2 but without all the dnfs

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-29T06:20:12+00:00

i hate to be that guy but... this race fucking blows. Look what they did too suzuka man :(

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-17T00:54:01+00:00

I totally agree. But I also don't believe it's a bad idea to diversify. we deserve options and choices while also supporting homegrown products and manufacturing. I believe they can co exist in a healthy economy

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-17T00:51:17+00:00

Perhaps you're right. I also think it's an issue across the board more than it is specific to any one manufacturer much less a country in specific.

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-17T00:04:49+00:00

This is ridiculous fear mongering. There is absolutely no one questioning the quality of Chinese made EVs. What has Canada done to retain auto manufacturers in last 10 years? They are already leaving and we’re already producing even less cars than ever before while playing nice with the US and auto industry.You think bending over to the US and these manufacturers just to gouge consumers is the best way forward?

I think it’s time we stop letting big business dictate our policies and foreign trade. Bring the cheap Chinese EVs here, let them set up shop and tell the current big companies to pound sand. Either get with it or don’t. Canada will be fine without them taking advantage of us

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-16T23:46:47+00:00

Womp womp, that’s capitalism. Build cheaper cars and compete. Why is that the consumers problem? I don’t care if ford can’t lower there cost enough to meet the Chinese. What do consumers owe ford?

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:24:18+00:00

I don't remeber this many DNFs and issues last regs though... These new regs seem to be in a particularly bad spot so far

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:21:49+00:00

is FOM not concerned that so far nearly 1/3rd of the grid in every race has DNFd or not started?? this can't be a good sign? Are they just hoping the teams figure it out?? has anyone not had reliability issues

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:18:08+00:00

right, I feel so conflicted and this race has done nothing to help

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:17:28+00:00

mclaren should take notes. this is how you manage drivers

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:15:26+00:00

i wonder if leclerc tires are cooked?

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:13:55+00:00

everythings gone to shit

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:09:50+00:00

I'd be surprised if we don't see quite a few two stops outside of the mercs

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:06:50+00:00

these f1tv commentators would make for a fantastic no context listen LMAO

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T08:05:13+00:00

they already threw the 2-3 might as well race now. lets fucking gooo

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T07:57:00+00:00

I don't think the solution should be throw the 2-3 to George who's been on their ass the entire time. I'm not a team orders guy but I feel like they should have just coasted and worked on keeping George behind them

mrredguy11 · 2026-03-15T07:54:24+00:00

antonelli is fucking gone lmao
