Hrmm. Would this really work? The vehicle is popular in Canada and elsewhere and could Mexico provide enough volume for global for near term at a significantly reduced COGS that they could shut down SHAP and cut the reduced volume in the US for overall STLA revenue growth.

Meanwhile, all of the UAW and non workforce is left to be picked up by Ford, GM, or Toyota as the volume moves to those OEMs for 1500 class full size truck.

RAM/STLA is not too big to fail in the US anymore, despite what Mi may believe.... STLA may have strong revenue from US sales at the moment, but over the last year, that statement is no longer that powerful as their sales are plummeting and so is revenue.

With that said - I'm not saying what above is true - I'm asking the question to you here who know more than me, waving your hand around about tarrifs is not a black/white issue. Just like saying you are going to get rid of the IRS. The ripples and complexities of the "system" are large and no one action is a panacea.

Get ready for the perversions of reality where everything that exposes truth is unamerican and traitorous. A world where loyalty trumps every other measure. In history we've seen how this plays out, you isolate as a protective measure until all options run out , and then you go Socialist. Prepare to start stacking up the Ls. What we should be doing is aggressively re-inventing US manufacturing with more AI and robotics like never before to create the next wave of slave labor. Then, reinventing and redefining Capitalism into something that smells a lot like Socialism only fueled by winning and wealth vs losing and poverty.

This is a move to incentivize production staying or coming here. He has been VERY clear: move production out, and you’ll be hit with a massive penalty via tariffs and taxes. Maintain production in the States, and the benefits start with reduced taxes.

This is needed. He’s also stated he will hit cheap Chinese EV imports with tariffs of 1-200% or more if needed, making them completely unsellable here. Good.
