Oopsy, turns out there’s consequences for working to elect a demented maniac!
Elon Musk’s electric-car maker Tesla has warned that President Donald Trump’s trade war could make it a target for retaliatory tariffs against the US and increase the cost of making vehicles in America.
In an unsigned letter addressed to US trade representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla said it “supports” fair trade but warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”.
It’s hard to tariff something that nobody will buy.
My wife is shopping for a new car right now and really wants an EV. There are Tesla’s all around us going for 16k-25k and some of those 2023 or 2024s.
Wild how we would’ve jumped on that a few years ago. Now I literally wouldn’t drive one if it was given to me for free.
Same here. I was looking to replace my almost decade old EV this year. Now I think I’ll hold onto it a bit longer.
