Forbes: ‘Tesla Wins, Detroit Bleeds’: Why Elon Musk’s Tesla Is Less Impacted By Auto Tariffs Than Peers
President Trump's 25% tariffs on imported vehicles will impact the auto industry unevenly, with Tesla faring better than traditional automakers like Ford and General Motors. Tesla assembles all its vehicles in the U.S., limiting its exposure to tariffs, while GM could face a $14 billion hit due to sourcing from Canada and Mexico.
Despite Musk's claims of being "NOT unscathed," analysts suggest Tesla's price increase to offset tariffs will be much smaller than its competitors. Tesla's stock showed resilience, gaining 1%, while shares of other automakers fell significantly. However, potential retaliatory tariffs could still affect Tesla's international sales.
