Are Tesla EV's Really An "ALL-AMERICAN" Company?
From Greg M
Lions. We have been hearing from President Trump that “Tesla is a Great American Company.”
But is this actually true?
Well then, it may surprise you to know that Tesla operates a highly globalized supply chain. Meaning, MANY components of Tesla cars are not American made.
This, below, is a breakdown of where parts and components for Tesla vehicles are made in order from most to least.
The US and China rank #1 and #2.
United States – Many components, including battery packs (Gigafactories in Nevada and Texas), electric motors, and other key vehicle components, are produced domestically.
China – Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai produces batteries, electric motors, and vehicle bodies for both domestic use and export. Many suppliers in China also provide essential components like semiconductors, electronics, and aluminum parts.
Germany – Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin is responsible for producing battery cells and assembling vehicles for the European market. German auto suppliers also contribute to Tesla’s supply chain, particularly for high-quality engineering components.
Japan – Tesla has relied heavily on Japanese suppliers like Panasonic for battery cells, although it's now diversifying with its own battery production and other partners.
South Korea – Companies like LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI supply Tesla with advanced battery cells and electronic components.
Mexico & Canada – Some smaller components, including wiring, electronics, and steel parts, are sourced from North American suppliers.
Why is everyone all of a sudden down on Tesla? I thought it was going to save the environment from the FAKE climate crisis?? Funny how quick people turn on people just because they dont fit the narrative.
They are if you don’t mind your car blowing up or catching fire.
Or maybe you like the part about your garage blowing up or catching fire, and your house insurance won’t cover it!
Or maybe you like the $60,000 replacement cost for batteries after 3-5 years or when you have an accident and your car insurance MAKES you replace the battery at your cost, because it MIGHT BE DAMAGED.
GREAT COMPANY FOR THE ECONOMY, BUT NOT FOR THE CONSUMER!
