"This week, US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick announced a new rule stating that any car that's composed of 85 percent or more parts built in the United States would be excluded from tariffs."
"Tesla's top-selling vehicles range from 85 to 87.5 percent domestic content, while competing models from Ford and Honda fall below the threshold."
The Trump administration has revised auto tariffs, with new rules that exclude cars built mostly from U.S. parts from steep penalties. This change appears particularly advantageous for Tesla, as their vehicles align closely with the outlined specifications, while competitors like Ford and Honda do not. This move has raised concerns about potential corruption and favoritism towards President Trump's allies, especially in light of Tesla's recent struggles with sales. The long-term effects of these policy alterations on Tesla's recovery remain uncertain amidst declining income performance.
