If the dealership sells a 50k car they can get 6.5k-21k more money than if they sell a 10k car.
They want to sell you the most expensive car they can
So even if they could sell you the "cheap" Chinese EVs they would make less profit
This is just one reason. Sales margin is another. When you're a Ford dealership and get special treatment from Ford you have higher profit margins. If you just flip a Chinese EV with no special treatment you have lower margins.
If there was a solid 10k car available less people would buy the 50k car (average cost of a new car today)
Inexpensive cars on the US market is not good for dealerships in anyway
You ask if they have coke and they will say "is Pepsi fine?" Then you can say "Yes I'll take a Sprite" and get Starry.
Like you can't order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like "I'll take a soda" and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.
You could ask for a "coke" and accept any soda. But you're not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.
It is in Ford's best interest to keep other forgien cars out of the US. If Americans were really free to shop forgien cars the US car companies would all go under.
Trump will keep out "bad forgien cars"
Tairiffs are just a cost they pass down to consumers when there are no other options for the consumer other than domestic cars built with tariffed parts.
If we were to make a computer to "read our minds" it would pick up on our internal dialog which people with anendophasia do not have.
People with anendophasia are not dumb. They just think different.
Like imagine a person that was born deaf. They can't have a verbal dialog in their heads. They could imagine sign language, images, or words. But just because they were born deaf doesn't mean their IQ is low. They just think different.
Many ways to do it. But that example where the best student scored a 60%. Everyone would get +40%. That's a Standard Curve method.
Personally, they didn't curve a lot of grades when I was in high school. It was more a college thing. A hard test that pushes the limit of your knowledge without being unfair.
But yes a grade can change afterwards for whatever reason the teacher wants. They could just throw on 10% if they felt generous. Definitely apparent when it's like a writing assignment without clear right or whole answers like math.
You could do all the work or none of it and it is up to them to say "pass" or "fail" by giving you a grade
After a test you could "round" the grades. Like if it was a very hard test and the highest grade was a 60%. You could round everyone's test up by 40%.
If you made a 0%, now you have a 40%. Everyone passes!
(Don't think this is too common, but plausible)
Teachers are "encouraged" to not fail any student by a lot of pressures.
You have to go above any beyond to fail high school. Trying hard and getting bad grades will generally get you enough to pass. Teachers will "work" with you.
Perfection is the enemy of progress
