Recent Polestar exit from US was due to The Connected Vehicle Rule. Which was passed by the Biden admin. It finally kicked in for 2027 model year.

100% tariff on Chinese EVs was also passed by the Biden admin. They also raised tariffs on solar cells and semi-conductors to 50%. Lithium batteries and battery parts also got raised to 25%.

So it isn't just Chinese vehicles, it was a whole host of Chinese tech they trying to keep out of US markets.
Mercedes-Benz could face US ban under Senate bill targeting Chinese-owned automakersThe German automaker has a nearly 20% passive Chinese investment, putting it above the bill's 15% ownership threshold
"Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels, with the ability to collect on American citizens and transmit that data back to Beijing," Slotkin said in a statement.

So American government and companies harvesting our data GOOD, Chinese government and companies harvesting our data BAD?
How about NO governments and companies harvesting our data?
