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.

    Its not even close to American. It’s made like shit. At least Fords, Chevys and Dodges can haul shit. I have a Ford Super Duty that my guys use regularly and it never has issues. My work truck is a Silverado. Thing always starts.

    Elon has a piss poor design and not even a truck. It’s coke filled nightmare. It’s an insult to other car manufacturers to compare it to them.
