I think Tesla works extraordinarily hard to source parts locally

This confirms what the data has been showing for years, Tesla isn’t just leading EV innovation, it’s revitalizing American manufacturing. With Gigafactories in Texas and Nevada producing batteries, drivetrains, and vehicles domestically, Tesla’s vertical integration model gives it a structural advantage no legacy automaker can match USA

So Tesla didn’t just make cars in America — it practically became America. At this rate, Elon might apply for statehood before the next model launch. 🇺🇸⚡🚗

If you truly want a Made in the USA vehicle... A Tesla is the most logical. If you hate Tesla because of Elon's politics, your loss. If you bought a Tesla before Elon got political believing you were helping the planet, and now want to get rid of it because of Elon's politics, then you don't stand by your beliefs and are only driven by your emotions.

While I fully expect they're right, it's hard to trust people that don't know how ties in a top ten work.

This study really highlights Tesla's commitment to American manufacturing and jobs. It’s impressive to see how much of their production is done right here in the U.S. This kind of domestic content is a win for our economy and workers.

Wow. No Ford and GM cars are only super old models with old production lines. Crazy.

Tesla’s dominance in American-made cars is impressive, with several models topping the list. It’s clear their focus on domestic production is paying off.

What is the difference between the Model 3 LR/Performance that is not made in the US? The brakes?

Tesla needs a “Made in USA” sticker pack.

That’s dominance you can’t ignore

I just purchased a Y Long. I had a 3 before. So far I’m a little unhappy with the Y. At slow speed it sounds like thumping on the road. No answer on what’s causing the issue. I have read quite a few blogs about it and all say Tesla doesn’t have a fix. I hope they come up with one

Can't ever own a 3/S as a daily driver. After being able to just slide into the CT it's too much of a haste crawling down into those smaller cars. That and no steer by wire and dual axil steering 🤗

Tesla really running the table this year

American made and leading the pack

Seneca believed that self-mastery means knowing when to act and when to remain still, and in doing so, we rise above the storm within.

And going down if sales to oneself aren’t included

Imagine. The Kia EV6 is more American Made than: Ford F-150 Chevy Silverado Ram 1500 Mustang, Challenger, Camaro, ect. That's insane!

What was the employee growth y/y? Surely Elon is creating thousands more jobs every year with this type of success 🤔. Oh wait, they aren’t adding head count. And robotaxi means less jobs. It’s a shame an amazing American company is killing jobs.

Tesla went from ‘Silicon Valley toy’ to ‘most American car’ - plot twist nobody saw coming..

I was curious why Rivian wasn't included. This index uses the AALA parts content percentage in the calculation, which doesn not include R1T and R1S because the GVWR for each is over 8500lb. Presumably R2 will be included next year. nhtsa.gov/part-583-american-…
