2. Tarrifs will make that difficult.....

Most parts and assemblies are imported. So is steel, rubber, wire, and tooling.

The supply chain snakes around the globe.

And tarrifs are just going to ratchet up costs. Breaking unions to get cheap labor wont help. Labor will still be cheaper overseas.

Only musk will get away with tarrif relief. Oh, and russian importers i suppose. But that wont really help us auto makers, or us consumers.

Fools.

I actually saw some poor fool of a youtube claim tsf would save jeep. Not bloody likely. His mismanagement csused a lot of the supply chain pain. He will cause more with tarrifs and budget chaos.
