The most American cars the least affected by prices of 25% of Trump

Other very classified cars, including the Ford Mustang GT and Honda Passport

Update: With the Trump administration announcing a series of radical prices on foreign manufacturing cars and automotive parts before the tasks of the “Liberation Day” of April 2, it seems to be the right time to revisit the most “American” cars on the market today. Just a quick reminder that when we refer to American manufacturing cars, we mean vehicles with parts of the United States and Canada, because the American Automobile Labeling does not separate between the two.

Plus: Trump imposes a 25% rate on all cars and parts not designed

From April 2, a price of 25% will be applied to all foreign cars entering the United States. And if you thought it was bad, the White House also confirmed in an information sheet shared on its website that automotive parts will face the same price of 25%, even if the said parts are used in cars assembled in the United States. Needless to say, car manufacturers are now faced with a serious logistical mess.

To further complicate things, significant car manufacturers of cars under the US-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) agreement will obtain temporary relief. However, it is only until the trade department determines how to apply the prices. And, for the moment, the automotive parts in accordance with the USMCA will remain without a price, but do not be too comfortable. It is only until the bureaucrats decide how to tax non-Americans. content. (by John Halas).

The original story follows below

You might think that if someone built the most American cars, it would be the All -Stars of the apple pie and white -headed pygargues – Ford and GM. But no, they were outdone. The real MVP of Red, White and Blue Automobile Pride is, all businesses, Tesla. Yes, the same Tech Bro-Magnet that brought me memes, a stock market drama and cars with dubious panel gaps is also the most “made in the United States” by a considerable margin.

This is not the first time that we have learned how popular electric vehicles of Tesla have made American. In June, the Tesla Model 3 is at the top of a list produced by Cars.com. This last ranking comes from the Kogod School of Business of the American University and identifies the 25 cars built in the United States which integrate the most American content.

Above all, the analysis considers the parts originating in the United States and Canada both as a domestic content. Indeed, the American Automobile Labeling Labeling obliges manufacturers to manufacturers to point out the percentage of American and Canadian parts without distinguishing both.

The best performers

The first place called for the Tesla Model 3 performance, with 87.5% of its parts from national suppliers. It was closely followed by the long range of Tesla Model Y and the basic Y model, which was tied in second place with domestic content of 85%. The Tesla Cybertruck arrived third with 82.5%, ahead of the Tesla Model S and the X model, which was 80%. The Ford Mustang GT and Ford Mustang GT of Detroit, Detroit, built by Michigan, also with the S model and the 80%X model.

Hold behind Tesla and Ford, but still in the high -level league are two Hondas, the AWD passport and Passport Trailsport, which are classified fifth, with 76.5% of domestic content. Jeep tries to wave his Wrangler Rubicon and Sahara in a 76%patriotic challenge, while Volkswagen sneaks with the ID.4 AWD at 75.5%, as well as the GMC Canyon at4 Crew Cab (75.5%) and three Chevrolet Colorado models at 75.5%.

Tesla’s claim in America is delivered with a socket

For the whole stroke of Tesla’s chest, there is a wrinkle. According to Frank Dubois, the author of the study, the interior domination of Tesla is not hermetic. He told KBB that Tesla is still based on a decent part of Chinese pieces, in particular engines and batteries, and could be affected by new pricing policies introduced by the next Trump administration.

He pointed out that if you exclude the engines and batteries from the second range of model 3, it “has 40% Chinese content”. Likewise, Cybertruck has 20%, with Chinese pieces generally found in “seats, components of the dashboard, etc.”, he explains.

“Motor executives like to see stability in commercial relations with our main business partners,” added Dubois. But with Trump’s pricing threats and potential reprisals, “we will see a period of real instability,” he said.
