    Doesn’t these tariffs include also car pieces / materials imported to the US before being used / integrated into the car?

    Car being composed from thousands of equipments manufactured outside the US, i can’t see how they can totally avoid US tariffs.

          Tesla’s materials also get more expensive if everyone else’s does though. That’s why I’m saying it’s not actually an advantage for American manufacturers even if Trump wants it to be. They pay the tariffs on materials same as everyone else and the Europeans, Japanese and Koreans build their cars in the US too.
