    You say that like Ford, Stellantis, and GM aren’t building their cars out of the same slave-built components as BYD, just with a +80% price increase because they’re Amerikkkan.

      I wanted my car made in America. So, I bought a Toyota.

      Joking aside, even if someone goes through all the “effort” to buy an “American Made” car, a lot of the components are probably made in China anyway. With the very long tail of logistical chains these days, it’s almost impossible to know the providence of all the pieces of anything. And even the suppliers have no clue about all the places their parts are ending up.

      The big three are asking for the least amount of “made in China” as possible. Sure, some chips are impossible to get elsewhere but they are moving to near shoring and SE Asia as much as possible

      No, they don’t. They say it as though it’s a universal regardless of country of origin.
