You guys either already have them or will very soon. I haven't checked the progress lately, but it's certainly moving forward.
I haven't gotten to the point of actually finding where to get them, but my research so far has told me that the number of cars being imported is limited at least to start, so I'm expecting them to be somewhat hard to get. Makes me wonder if allowing them was more about leverage for deals with the US rather than truly trying to distance ourselves from US reliance.
Yeah, could just be a political move to try and show the US you can do shit without them. Still, good move. I hope you can get one. My wife and I have BYDs, have had them for 3 years, no complaints whatsoever.
