I wouldn’t hold my breath on this thing being successful. That is one ugly little rolling coffin.

For sure they will built it in Alabama, as Alabama has almost no business regulations. So you can expect the workers won’t be treated that well or at least low paid.

Hope they can sell those cars here, would be nice

What will be the prevailing wage structure at this new plant? Will it be competitive with other plants located in the southeast such as mercedes and toyota or will it be a much lower wage scale since the owners are chinese.

China takes IOUs from the USA of something like a billion dollars per day as we pay for government spending by borrowing from them. They could take a couple of those IOUs and build what is proposed with plenty of money left over for miscellaneous projects.

At some point they ARE going to try to collect on them and those will be interesting times.
