Macron opens Paris Motor Show amid crisis for French carmakers

Macron : Europe must build locally new very small, very simple, very cheap Electric Vehicles, until it controls the technology and every EU Youth understands how it works . It's a new world , the Youth gets involved and trained, or Europe does not make it .End the War scam . Focus on AI , AI Chips, EV, Batteries and Cathodes , Jet Engines, Aviation, Space , Healthy Foods and Exercise .

Congratulations 🇸🇦

I❤ FRANCE❗ I❤ CARS❗🌞

How its will help Ukraine and Zelnskyii?😅

Pr Macron & EU Commission: Scientists for the first time have converted an oxygen atom into a nitrogen atom , with single - atom editing technology:": World's first Atomic Editing technology .... ", IFL Science , Science . Europe, without Oil & Gas & Minerals , must master these new single - atom editing technologies, will the EU Parliament understand the possibilities ?

Macron can export everything to Israel blood brothers

Electric cars should be cheaper than ice cars

buy chinese electrics, half the price of EU cars

The live music for the event was probably the world's tiniest string quartet playing for the car industry :)

Some European leaders especially Macron are really hypocrites. China will reiterate for sure and see how your economy can sustain.

Should’ve seen these reductions in new driving applicants coming. Quite frankly, this has been coming for a very long time. Who on earth now can actually reasonably afford a new car or even a good secondhand power without having to somehow set up a second loan/mortgage or something. so much for affordability it’s all nonsense. Our countries shouldn’t be surprised that we want to buy Chinese. When it comes to EV production, they are our only real option apart from Tesla. And yes, I put Chinese EV’s up there, thanks the fact that they actually at least have some good technology in them at an affordable price. And they are not just cheap and cheerful/Low quality, they are actually really good now but that ‘stigma’ is still a helpful thing for Western governments that want people to keep buying their products. I hate the CCP with a bane, but that doesn’t mean that companies car are bad.
Yes, China can afford the charger a lot of these prices. Thanks for the fact that they want to be competitive and they get subsidies from the government, but it’s also because they’ve actually got control of a lot of valuable mineral supply chains, which sadly in the west failed to do in favour of oil reserves.
They knew what button to press for the future, and ours failed when we begged our countries not to do so and actually think about the future rather than short term gains.
We need to be allowed to actually have the freedom to buy what we want over national protectionism.
If they don’t want us to do this, then actually give the people what they f%@king want. ‘You serve us, not we serve you’. Remember that.

No to protection, Yes to competition. Otherwise, consumers pay high prices for the protected, while these automakers have less pressure to improve its competitiveness.

Competition rules the day but the west does not like that. Why? Because China is winning.

"EU economy in tatters. In tatters I tell you... IN TATTERS!" --- Ursula

if you decide to protect European corporations from competition with China, then protect European employees from migrants and offshoring to India and other cheap countries. then we will have money to buy expensive European cars

Europe exported manufacturing to china and now is surprised?

Coming from the loyal Peugeot fan, we were looking at the new Peugeot 3008, but that car is a disaster.

It feels like the engineers never test driven that car. Ergonomics are weird, suspension is not comfy. Media center seems like something they just plugged in there without giving it any tought.

And speking of prices, VAG plugin hybrids are much cheaper than Peugeots, whats up with that?

Isn't 'driving prices down' the goal of capitalism that benefits the consumers?

Panie Emanuel Marcin zalegalizujcie tak temat jak jest w Holandii a kasę z cofiszopów jaki ma dochód państwo jest respektu loberde szanuj zieleń....i otoczenie ...bajka..

If they stop giving money to corrupt Zelensky, France will recover its economy 😅

Dont see so many chinese cars in EU on the roads. Think the chinese cars are cheap in EU, so EU car factories have to low the prices....

How china made competition and the prices of European car brands rises a lot in the last 5 years? Something is wrong here!

French car looks nice, but quality and reliability is bad

nice STAR

It's fitting that wanna-be-socialist France gets hosed by actually-socialist China and their subsidised garbage. Should have had stiff tariffs up long ago lol

...."driving prices down." Isn´t that exactly what You need to fight inflation? As everybody is claiming to do? And what about the climate? Now suddenly it is not good to have cheap, affordable EVs? Up to 2019 yearly 18 to 19 million cars were soldin the EU over decades. Since Covid, more and more regulations, taxes on cars and driving, parking limits, speed limits, sales are consistently down to 12 to 13 million cars in a Year. Citizens simply can´t afford it any more. And yes, it is a combination of politics and ideology that brought us here.

The problem is not China it’s that the ordinary people don’t have enough money to afford the astronomically expensive cars. Aggregate demand in banksters jargon.

Its Tesla Y and 3 , we see on the roads in EU, not so much chinese cars

When China came with sodium ion batteries .European brands will be finished .

The time of Trudeau-Macron puppets (deep state agents) is over 🤡👁️⃤ 👎🏻

Driving prices down is good for the consumer.

Western carmakers : "here is a funky looking cyberpunk EV concept that we might develop in the next few years at an undisclosed price."
Chinese carmakers: "here is a good looking EV with 800KM range, premium interiors and sleek UI. You pick up one today at 20K Euros with full warranty. "

French companies only are present because french govt support them otherwise they would have been overrun by Germans. And now Chinese car companies will make them to go in deep sleep .

Your car manufacturers laughed at EVs for a decade with only perfunctory attempts at actually transitioning and now you're where you are.

I will definitely not buy expensive and impractical local cars, I will buy Chinese cars to save my personal expenses

EU capatalism : tariffs, tariffs and more tariffs. No one wants French cars.

Europeans don’t know how to treat a talented foreign workers.
They think they are better than others. All fleeing to USA, Canada, Australia.

He is trying to fight against the wind. It is pointless trying to do so. My stupid country is doing the same thing

So yes if you melt giant snowball or moon faster with mirrors and solar panels you get extra rain and even bigger snowflakes and natural disaster look like events

Free market. Free trade

L'ultra-libéralisme n'a jamais fait baisser les prix, c'est une utopie! Pensez que la voiture électrique est l'avenir, c'est une gageure car il y a trop de déchets avec ce genre de véhicule! La voiture chinoise est peut-être moins chère au départ mais il faut rajouter plein d'options pour arriver à une voiture correcte. Des amis ont voulu acheter une de ces voitures et la plage arrière était payante! 700€ pour une plage arrière mdr!!!! Les communistes chinois sont aussi devenus des ultra-libéralistes aussi mortifère que les Américains. Avec la Covid et les masques, nous avons vu leur comportement et leur façon d'augmenter les prix. Un accident avec une voiture électrique : la voiture ne sera pas réparable! Super bon pour l'écologie sans compter le recyclage des batterries. Ces voitures n'ont pas d'avenir car elles resteront très chères et invendables après 6 à 8 ans d'utilisation. Au rebus! Que les ingénieurs trouvent autre chose de plus fiable!
