On May 30, US President Trump issued a directive emphasizing that American automakers, Tesla included, must produce entire vehicles and all components within the United States, discouraging reliance on overseas manufacturing. Addressing the repercussions of tariffs, Trump specifically mentioned that Musk should ensure the complete manufacture of Tesla cars in the US, while also urging other manufacturers to relocate their parts production back to American soil. Earlier, the Trump administration had imposed a 25% tariff on imported cars and parts, a measure that could potentially disrupt global supply chains and lead to an increase in vehicle prices. Although Tesla primarily manufactures electric vehicles in the US, it still depends heavily on importing numerous critical components.
