Original Note:
The claim that “if you buy a car made in America, it costs you not a dollar more” is false. Most U.S.-assembled cars rely heavily on imported parts. Tariffs on those parts—like engines, semiconductors, and batteries—can raise prices even for “American-made” vehicles. https://www.cars.com/articles/10-biggest-news-stories-of-the-week-ford-ranger-tesla-put-american-made-index-first-423265/ https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/hyundai-warns-us-dealers-possible-price-hikes-amid-25-tariffs-2025-03-31/
