I’m not saying things can’t get more expensive with tariffs, I’m saying that specifically for components used for local manufacturing the tariffs work differently.
One more question.
Is leasing then immediately buying the lease an option here, since I have $9k in lease incentives? Does that lower my total cost?
Yes it is.
I haven’t seen a single one that has mentioned Volvo is a net exporter, or that they have accumulated trade credits, or asking what is going to happen to those if and when tariffs are implement 
Total cost isn’t the question - do you want to marry this car before you’ve had your first service visit, which will likely happen before it’s scheduled at 10k?
They make great leases…
It lowers your net purchase price.
However, resale value isn’t that great so it’s a not a great candidate for ownership.
Someone in your shoes needs to lease a BEV. Waiting for the tech to get better or waiting for the next gen means you’ll be dead before you make the move.
Pulling the trigger before prices rise dramatically is exactly the reason to lease a BEV. Tariffs will come and go and may affect prices before receding but once the OEMs all pivot to reduce production because covid and Tesla wait times made them overestimate how much capacity they’d need—that is a permanent change that will probably never be undone.
