Trump tariffs would increase the price of cars made by US automakers by over $2K: Wells Fargo

The idea is to make manufacturers bring industry back to America. If it's cheaper to make it in the U.S. than purchase from abroad then they'll manufacture it here.
Don't forget It was Ford, GMC and Chrysler than built those factories in Mexico and china because of cheaper labor.
Same goes for chip manufacturing and big pharma.

Which is why it's not gonna happen. And even globalists like Trump and Musk know it isn't going to happen. Chips are coming back because of security concerns. But even if we want to be a big player in microchips, that will decades. Trump will bray about bringing manufacturing back and things..will continue to be manufactured elsewhere. Unless you can convince American workers to get paid peanuts with little in the way of benefits and get huge tax break concessions from cities and towns...it's just a pipe dream.

And is it your BELIEF that 100% of an-American Made Auto or Truck has 100% of it's parts made in the USA?

Name one auto part that cannot be made in America? Use links to explain why.

And none of this is hysteria going to make the next four years any shorter for you and your cult.

This isn't hysteria, hon. It's fact.
And I'm gonna have a good time watching this new administration fall flat on it's keister and taking you idiots to the woodshed.

You're gonna find out in short order that things weren't so bad under Biden as your alt-right media sources claimed they were.

What y ou leave out is that changing where you manufacture, and where you get the parts from is a multi-year process. You can't buy American parts, until the American parts makers start manufacturing here. And you can't run the plant you just built in America, until they do. And the parts makers won't switch, until they are sure you assembly plant will start producing. So it becomes a gamble on everyone's part hoping "if you build it , they will come."

Won't be long for me. I'm gonna have fun for four years...at your expense. I'm not the one playing the forever victimization card here. You people actually won (by a squeaker) and you STILL whine, bitch, carry on like you lost.

Your turn in the barrel.

Over your head once again.

The POINT was that cars are indeed made with a variety of parts made "Outside" the USA.

Since these parts can indeed be made in the USA, why do manufacturers still use foreign parts?

Can you answer that please?

Or Biden and Dems trying to force Americans to buy lousy EV's.

The irony is that's what made Tesla a $1 trillion (stock value) corporation.

 

[Winston]

So the price of a car will go from 45,000 to 47,000?

WOW! BFD!

Got it 4.4% inflation is no big deal. You are a fucking moron.

This is what kills me about the alt-right bromantic lovefest for Musk. His claim to fame and main source of income are ELECTRIC CARS that conservatives and the just and righteous RAIL against.

Musk's net worth is estimated to be more than $300 billion, making him the richest person in the world.

And if you follow the money, most of that was due to the government.

Tesla
Musk owns more than 13% of Tesla, which was worth more than $100 billion as of October 2024.

SpaceX
Musk owns 42% equity and 79% voting control of SpaceX. SpaceX received government contracts

“Donald Trump said he'd put in place 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports upon taking office.

This would push up prices for US-assembled cars by an average of $2,100, according to Wells Fargo.

Mexico's president said her country would retaliate in kind to tariffs, impacting joint ventures.”

US car prices would rise by over $2,000 if President-elect Donald Trump pushed ahead with tariffs on Canada and Mexico, Wells Fargo said in a note.

And you voted for Trump because of the price of eggs.

Not worried about it...car prices are not static they are dynamic.

So? Electric cars are still a failure and will pass out of style.... It doesn't matter if Musk, King George or the Pope makes them and sells them. That part is not going to change.

Might want to tell Trump's newest bro (millionaire) that. He's making quite a bit of cash off them now.
Electric cars are the future and the technology will catch up. As soon as it does, you can kiss those gas powered cars goodbye...no matter who is President and who controls Congress.

 

[Rambunctious]

Dems want to force everyone to buy an EV at twice the cost of a gas engine car... they want to outlaw older cars as well and they say Trump will raise the cost of cars???

Because they are cheaper, for various reasons, labor force, less environmental regulation, and yes, sometimes government subsidies. Who the hell cares. I mean no one gives a damn if China is paying workers a few dollars a day, working them six, seven days a week for twelve fourteen hours, polluting their environment to the point you have to wear a mask to breath. And working those workers so hard, treating them so harshly, that they are committing suicide in droves. Just give me my damn I-phone at a cheap price compared to what it would cost to make here

The one that really gets me, lobster tails, warm water. Most of them come from Brazil. Yep, they are cheap. But they are harvested by free divers that go to depths of a hundred feet, no oxygen tank, I mean you do know what free diving is, oh well, never mind. Most of them are dead before they turn 35. Do Americans give a shit? Hell no, where are those cheap lobster tails, they ask.

It is no different than the Civil War. You think the North gave two shits about the slaves? Hell no, most of the anti-slavery movement originated in the South, and to be brutally honest, it was Southern Women. Nope, as long as the North got their share, and then some, of the value of that slave labor, they didn't give two shits about the slaves just like most Americans today don't give two shits about those Brazilian free divers.
How did they get that value. TARIFFS. What was the duty of Fort Sumter? I mean for real, what was Fort Sumter tasked with? You can read Northern newspaper editorials of the time period, I mean imagine that, actually learning about history from contemporary writings of the time, not some fucked up textbook published by some right wing outfit. They didn't give two shits about slavery, it was all about extracting their share of the value of slave labor. When the South declared they were going to refuse to collect those tariffs, have duty free harbors, like Charlestown, all hell broke loose. You think today is any different?
