Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And BMW is the US largest exporter of vehicles. Maybe they will take their production elsewhere.

Why? They produce in the US, they won't have to pay tariffs AFAIK

Not sure who this will even affect. Most foreign manufacturers selling in the US build those cars in the US.

Doesn't these tariffs include also car pieces / materials imported to the US before being used / integrated into the car?

Car being composed from thousands of equipments manufactured outside the US, i can't see how they can totally avoid US tariffs.

Eh sure, but that also applies to the competition.

what competition...

honestly this seems like another Tesla first decision...

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Tesla's materials also get more expensive if everyone else's does though. That's why I'm saying it's not actually an advantage for American manufacturers even if Trump wants it to be. They pay the tariffs on materials same as everyone else and the Europeans, Japanese and Koreans build their cars in the US too.
