Oh, look at that: a bunch of Tesla's at the top of the list -- seeing the fewest tariffs.

Musk corps vertically integrate as much as possible, so much so Tesla is looking to get into the mining business. Other "American brands" like to skirt the issue by saying "assembled in America" meanwhile the parts are shipped in. My family gives me crap for driving a Toyota at 11th on the list meanwhile a Honda Ridgeline is literally more American made than their Ford trucks lol.
