Elon Musk Says Tesla Is ‘Most Made in America’ Car Brand as Trump Tariffs Shake Up Auto Industry

Elon Musk argued that Tesla is the most American-made car brand, saying every U.S.-sold Tesla is assembled in the United States and that its parts are overwhelmingly made in America. He also cited an 84% total domestic content score for Tesla versus 63% American parts for Ford, framing Tesla favorably as Trump-era auto tariffs reshape the industry. The article highlights supportive commentary from Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on tariffs and Ford’s plan to move some Lincoln production from China to the U.S. For TSLA, the news is mildly positive sentimentally because it reinforces Tesla’s domestic supply-chain advantage and potential relative insulation from tariffs, though the stock’s immediate move was modest.
