Not disagreeing, but isn't there also protectionist incentives to at least assembly them in the US too? Benn a while since I remember reading it, but seem to remember there are many tarrifs, tax incentives, and etc that make it a complex situation for auto makers.

I believe you are very likely correct about that, but I wouldn't want to say for sure without doing some digging.

This isn't the most substantive of your comments in this chain, but I think it deserves some attention. It's perfectly worded and it's a concept more people need to embrace: you don't have to speak in absolutes and it's okay to express the limits of your knowledge.
