    I think Musk should pay a visit to Germany, so they can arrest him for being a Nazi.

      The issue here was that they relocated their production (to Thailand) in order to circumvent tariffs. This wouldn't apply to Model Y since it already is being produced here.

      Is "circumvent" the right word to use here? Isn't it the intended outcome of tariffs that imports shift out of tariffed countries?

            Maybe Elon realises that he bet on the wrong horse here. As the horse is super stupid.

            They are both remarkably similar in that regard.

              Everything America has been doing is a sign of weakness and fear.

                    That's the intended outcome when your goal is to hurt a foreign market, but not when your goal is to strengthen your local market.

                      Doesn't matter. No way around the regulations.

                      This explains is an example what happened to Harley Davidson. I think the same rules would be applied in Teslas case.

                      May not apply here, as the other commenter mentioned but that's interesting and I didn't know that.
