The US government tracks what percentage of each car’s parts is made “domestically.” But under current trade law, both Canadian-made parts and US-made parts are counted as the same domestic content. “Yes, it’s America’s truck, assembled in America, but not with American parts,” Ivan Drury, director of insights for Edmunds, told CNN. Domestic parts could be tough to findFinding domestic supplies for many of the imported car parts would be difficult. Even if an American parts supply could be found, in most cases it would be more expensive. Fewer imported cars would raise all pricesTariffs on imported vehicles likely would also lead to higher prices on cars that are assembled here, since it would limit the supply of vehicles in the US market.

Gavin Newsom plans to revive California's EV rebate if Trump ends the federal tax credit. Tesla sales in California, the US's largest EV market, have recently declined even as overall EV sales in the state have grown. Elon Musk, who has expressed support for ending the federal tax credit, said in an X post it was "insane" for the California proposal exclude Tesla. The federal electric vehicle tax credit, which was passed as part of the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, provides a $7,500 tax credit to some EV buyers. The Tesla CEO said on an earnings call in July that ending the federal tax credit might actually benefit the company.

CNN —Can the green shoots of clean energy break through the “brown blockade”? Those huge current and planned investments in new manufacturing plants may represent the sole opportunity to preserve any elements of Biden’s blueprint for growing the domestic clean energy industry. Republican districts are slated to receive an equally large share of another $435 billion in clean energy projects that have been announced but not yet built, the analysis found. The US reliance on the fossil fuels driving climate change has been declining for years, but only at a modest pace. Yet interrupting that transition by repealing the federal policies benefiting clean energy remains a dangerous gamble.

In early November, it was discovered that the wiring issue that caused the issue with the Tucson vehicle may also have impacted Santa Cruz vehicles. This prompted a review from the North America Safety Decision Authority on Nov. 13 and a recall of the vehicles.
