you have no clue how these things are manufactured.I’m sure they’ll figure it out Goose.
So you wanna take a car which is more expensive to make, add complexity into the manufacturing process to make it even more expensive, and then ship it across the Atlantic and make it even more expensive?
yeh that’ll work.

Tesla's vehicles are produced at factories worldwide. Here's a breakdown:
- Austin, Texas: Currently produces the Model Y, with plans to manufacture the Cybertruck and Roadster in the future. Also Tesla's global headquarters.
- Grünheide, Germany: Produces the Model Y.
- Fremont, California: Produces the Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y.
- Nevada: One of the world's largest plants for electric vehicle components.
- Shanghai, China: Produces the Model 3 and Model Y.
Yup ALL the Tesla’s sold in the U.K. are manufactured in Germany and China.Who knows maybe Elon will open a plant in the UK now we have our new trade agreement.
However I’d like to know how you know exactly what Tesla’s plans are for future production for the UK consumer?
Are you making shit up again?

Did you ever think that with more competition prices could come down? OR manufacturers will eat some or all of the Tariffs? Might want to go out and buy some stocks as they say better late than never.
Poor old Goose, he’s having a nightmare!Oh so the manufacturer should make less margin? Great idea, what do you suppose happens when companies start making less profits?
