This is going to feel like old news for anyone who’s been following electric vehicles and Tesla for the past several years, but if you’re new to this industry, perhaps some of it will come as a shocker.
Most American-Made Cars
First of all, in the latest American-Made Index from Cars.com, we find that the two most “American-made” cars in the United States this year are the Tesla Model 3 (#1) and Tesla Model Y (#2). No other cars sold in the US have a higher percentage of their components built and assembled in the US than these two Tesla models. For people who care about such a thing, this could be a notable buying consideration.
Note that the Model S and Model X were not included in the analysis since they were discontinued this year. Additionally, the Cybertruck was not included because its curb weight is too high. It’s higher than the 8,500-pound limit set by the Cars.com team.
