Tesla warns Trump administration it is ‘exposed’ to retaliatory tariffs

[placeholder]

Elon Musk’s electric-car maker Tesla has warned that President Donald Trump’s trade war could make it a target for retaliatory tariffs against the US and increase the cost of making vehicles in America.
In an unsigned letter addressed to US trade representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla said that it “supports” fair trade but warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”...

“It is unsigned because nobody at the company wants to be fired for sending it.”

The troops at Tesla are clearly feeling desperate. It looks like the Federal govt isn't the only place that Musk will cut employment at.

Saving the planet with EVs is akin to rooting to save virginity.

I getting to old to buy a new vehicle so I'm not too worried.

Jesus mate you really have the Trump hate bad.

Does it matter if people already don't want to buy them?

If Tesla vanished from the face of the planet tomorrow it would be a good thing, IMO. Toy cars for rich luvvies.
