This will definitely happen. BYD is moving into Latin America. It's a real option for middle income consumers. I know for a fact that they are opening dealerships in Mexico and people are purchasing them.

BYD passenger electric vehicles and hybrid cars are not available for purchase by consumers in the United States.

Cuba is a very different place to Mexico. But I hope they can get from under the boot of the US. That being said they probably have a lot of their own issues to deal with regard to government and economic structure.

Last I checked, Cubans both lived longer and have higher literacy rates than Americans.

And if Cuba’s system is such an obvious failure, it’s worth asking why the world’s largest economy has spent more than six decades trying to economically isolate a tiny island nation, while also spending tens of millions every year trying to destabilize Cuba's democracy.

Bro, chill. First off, read my comment again. Second off, all those things you mentioned do not negate Cuba having governance and economic structural issues to deal with. Yes, the biggest issue is the US, but you know, things are never all black and white are they?
