Didn't see it, But well aware of the mega factories, some amazing stuff, much of the solar EV battery industry has been heavily subsidised or it wouldn't have made it this far, how much depends on what information can be dug up, some of it we may never know, not all EV's are perfection on wheels.
Not unusual that China dominates the market each time the new next best thing comes out as well as buying up all the resources around the world and control the supply chain achieving market domination, Australia and other countries help fuel this, we could have been building this stuff in Aus, but bureaucracy will screw it every time, always has.
For those with there heads (up @&$#)in the sand, look at all sides of the story.
Factories during the 1940's were converted, retooled for the war effort, producing all manner of things, just think how easy this is now with fully automated robotic factories, change the program and the next day it can mass produce something else.
Perhaps the US is not going to have all their eggs in one basket (We shouldn't either), At least they Build EV's Batteries solar panels etc, funny thing is the renewables are doing well as the demand is still growing...ignoring all the unmentionable stupidity.
I'm still interested in an EV but it would have to be cheap practical about the size of a station wagon, not a nasty little coffin, In guess there might be a secondhand market at some stage just not much good at the moment.
