Update Speculation thread

Eh, It's not so much stealing as it is bringing jobs back to the US. Since the Big Three started outsourcing jobs, plenty of towns collapsed, like Detroit, which is a shell of its former self. It's not just the auto industry as I live in Northeast Pennsylvania, and I believe there used to be a big textile industry here, as well as there was a couple of pencil factories, and plenty of general factories too. Since those all closed and the coal mines dried up, my area is a shell of its former self. Plenty of abandoned factories, buildings, and hell, entire towns!

 

The US government is trying to get American auto manufacturers to pull out of production in Canada. We in Canada have a very strong automotive enterprise. We have factories for a lot of American and Japanese brands. With the tariffs that also means canadian built Honda's and Toyotas will be tariffed to hell. It is stealing jobs from thousands, because these auto manufacturers can’t afford the tariffs so they have to make them in the USA, as the USA is a larger market than Canada. So both American AND canadian vehicle prices will go up because of this, especially since Canada supplies a good chuck of Americas steel. We have started to give our steel to China to retaliate the tariffs.

 

Its not much better if it dries up ours y'know.

 

Exactly, if these tariffs were not imposed it would have eventually evened out and both of our automotive economies would become stable.

Enough vehicle politics, let’s get back on speculating.

 

There's not really anything to speculate about (except traffic).

 

I like traffic….. i got a problem

 

In the next coming updates, could we see Tire wear? On the Beam.NG Youtube channel they shown them working with Calspan for this, so maybe in the next couple of updates, we could see this.
