Lol - why was Elon manufacturing this in China in the first place? He wants the IP stolen and bugs planted in self-driving cars? https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/03/trumps-tariffs-could-knock-teslas-autopilot-off-course/amp/#click=https://t.co/18vNeb3RCv
Is this a spam link.. not opening for me
Companies manufactures cars at the location they intend to sell it at. It’s why Toyotas sold in the US are made right here in the US. Ironically, American cars sold in the US are made in Mexico.
manufacturing should be repatriated to the USA. no reason at all things cannot be built here. boeing does it (final assembly and a lot of parts). toyota does it. mercedes and bmw do it. no raeson at all to be in china. any dependency on the chicoms is long term bad for business.
Exactly! It’s a national security risk on top of everything
It's cheaper to build overseas and as a God-fearing capitalist you have a duty to go with the cheapest production costs while pulling in record profits. Why do you hate the United States of Freedom so much?
So many ignorant people. Toyota manufactures most its cars sold in China, in China. The same goes for Mercedes and bmw. It’s time to get a little educated about how the world works American born idiots.
Non-American here. Most Mercedes and BMW are actually manufactured in Germany.
Yeah no that’s not true at all
It would be nice if the US still had the necessary manufacturing infrastructure. We’ve let that decay over the last 30-40 years. Over that same time span, China has built up an impressive infrastructure from scratch. It’s now unrivaled, really. If you want a custom chip, you make it in China. Democratic presidential candidates, take note. To really make America great again, we must invest in infrastructure and education. These things pay dividends over the long term. They’re investments, not expenses.
Yeah Obama and Biden really accelerated the selling out of American manufacturing and TPP was going to be the final nail in the coffin. Trump, at the very least, brought this issue to the forefront of national politics. Hillary has given up on it.
“Tesla was unable to find a [U.S.] manufacturer with the requisite expertise to produce the Autopilot ECU 3.0 with the required specifications, at the volume requested and under the timelines necessary for Tesla’s continued growth,” Do you even read an article completely?
Maybe tesla should pay higher so that manufactures pop up. I mean it’s an issue that US manufacturing does not have the pipelines but we need to bring them back.
That's not how manufacturing works. It's not a matter of paying higher wages. Nobody goes to China to save money on a component like that.
Who the heck else will manufacturer pcbs and computers the way China does.

US companies need to move out of China. Moving out of China is a long term investment in our future.
Exactly! If trump tarifs forces them to do so then I’m gonna vote for him again
Why? It would seem wiser to push China to reform, as they already have to a large extent. Locking yourself out of a market and talrnt pool that large seems counterproductive.
