> because US manufacturers are 100% unable to compete.

In the June just passed Tesla Model Y is the best selling EV in China.

Made in Shanghai Gigafactory. Some may even argue Tesla would have died without the manufacture capacity in China

And where is that model Y manufactured? Surely you're not suggesting that it's imported from the US.

  • If you consider Tesla in China to be Chinese, then BYD in EU would be Hungarian in the parent comment. Japanese brands also manufactures in Mexico, so Mazda is suddenly Mexican now? I've never seen anyone claiming such stuff, except when it comes to anything China.

    Model Y remains American just like iPhone, regardless of where they are made. Nobody refers to iPhone as Chinese or Indian.
