Tesla mulls exporting China-made EVs to U.S., Canada: sources - via drivingdotca LuxuryVehicles IndustryNews ElectricVehicles
It could also be politically contentious. Tesla has been widely seen as one of major beneficiaries of the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act , which offers rebates of up to US$7,500 on EV purchases as part of a law intended to push automakers to reduce their reliance on China.
Until now, Tesla’s strategy has been to build the cars it sells in North America at its plants in Fremont, California, and Austin, Texas. The California plant, Tesla’s first, produces the Model S, the Model 3 sedans, and the Model X and Model Y crossovers. The Texas plant, which opened earlier this year, makes the Model Y and will produce Tesla’s upcoming Cybertruck.
Tesla is also ramping up production at a plant it opened in Berlin earlier this year. Output from the Berlin plant will reduce the need for some exports from China, one of the sources said. Tesla would not be the first U.S. automaker to ship made-in-China vehicles to the United States. General Motors has imported the Buick Envision SUV and unsuccessfully petitioned for an exemption to 25-per-cent U.S. tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
