Geely launched its new TT electric sport sedan in China, starting at 129,900 yuan (about $19,100), with 800V fast charging and LiDAR on every trim.

That price puts a 640 km sedan with next-generation charging hardware at roughly half the price of a Tesla.

Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) says she’s hearing rumors that President Trump is preparing to let Chinese cars be sold in the US as part of a broader deal with China.

She raised the claim Wednesday, tying it to Trump’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, which she said is coming “in just a few weeks.” There are many reasons to doubt these rumors.
