So I’m seeing this around a little bit lately. One of the things these articles claim is that “65% of the parts are sourced in the USA”. So my question is: Are these parts actually manufactured in the US? Or, are parts made in China, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, etc…, then assembled in the US and claimed to be “sourced” in the US?
Not trying to make this an anti-musk thing or cybertruck-hate thing. I just want to dig into auto industry and Tesla corporate propaganda and see if there’s a hidden truth in it.
This article is from January and a quick search didn’t yield anything newer.

The Cybertruck isn’t instead on the “2024 American Made index,” so we probably can only go on whatever Tesla is claiming at the moment, though it does seem likely that it will be at or near the top of the ranking for most American trucks of next year’s list.
