And the reason why people are talking about it is because the fed is proposing tariffs on these cars, In addition to whatever state tax.
Let’s that the car is $10k imported. The fed charges a 100% tariff (suggested by Biden actually) so that gets passed to the consumer. Now the car is $20k, plus whatever sales tax you pay locally.
The reason people are talking about it is because this only benefits the local car manufacturers who won’t make a cheap car.
Confidently incorrect.
Did you read the article I pasted? Can you explain why lawmakers are worried about this problem if laws already take care of it?

The worry is that it will kill local competition.
It’s a free market in the US. I should be able to buy a Chinese car for $10k if I want too. If Ford can’t stay afloat, sucks to be ford.
