Oopsy, turns out there's consequences for working to elect a demented maniac!

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 it “supports” fair trade but warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”.

I read that the steel for cyber trucks is sourced from a company in Finland. Hoping he gets the 25%!!

AFAIK the only steel in Cybertrucks is their body. That’s not a lot. They could just change to making the whole “truck” out of aluminum. It’s already got a thin aluminum frame.

Yeah but surviving the zombie apocalypse requires that tough stainless steel shell.

It also requires a decent truck.
