Deciding to fight means giving up market share? Why? Makes no sense to stop metal flowing. Screws over dealers and loses market share. Makes far better sense to keep metal flowing and waiting this out.

Yep, IIRC Camry has the highest local contents in US.
Why is that? Becasue of tariffs?
Yep, been saying this for years. Its a fun discussion with the diehard GM, Ford, etc. fanbois lol
Many Americans still find a way to dunk on Toyota and Tesla assembly in the USA since neither manufacturing workforce are represented by the UAW.
When I was in Detroit, I found most people viewed CAW represented cars out of Brampton or Windsor to be āmore Americanā than cars made in Tuscaloosa or Georgetown.

More like they made cars especially catered to US market & produce them here. ex: Sienna.
Itās almost as if itās all media hype based on bullshit.
But that canāt bed the media never lies.
Something like 70% of all Toyotas sold in the US are made in the US. For GM itās under 50%.
They lose market share if their cars donāt sell, anyway. So, keep 100 cars on the lot and sell 5 or keep 10 and sell 5?
I agree - long before the recent drama, @z0lt3c has been landfilling me for calling Tesla pieces of crap cars and shit service.
Lucky for us, the time of protecting Tesla from negative sentiment has ended. Regardless of political lean, we should all be unified that Tesla is just junk. Itās too bad the anti-Tesla messages were censored for so long.

Canada and Mexico were exempted.
This thread is quiet because Iām pretty sure even the die-hards are re-assessing the level to which they are now broke.
I worked at Lehman when it filed - this is significantly worse economically. Expect layoff announcements immediately.

Yeah, not a good day to be a non-revenue producing employee. If, and itās a big if, these tariffs arenāt back tracked in short order, you might be right.
