Priced at $29K, the Model 3 Premium. It seems like a steal, and they seem to have significantly inflated the present owner's resale value.

It's not a price cut for current models. In order to avoid the tariff barrier between the US and Canada, it is importing a new, less expensive model.

Importing the new, less expensive Tesla 3 from Shanghai avoids Canada's new 25% US auto import tax.


The fact that Chinese automakers can undercut those in nations with hefty taxes and regulations is a problem that affects everyone throughout the world.

To what extent is the construction of Shanghai problematic?

There was a time when people looked down on automobiles made in Japan and Korea. No longer at all.

Yet, yet, yet... Trump claims that his tariffs are making it more expensive for foreign companies to sell to the United States.

Leasing corporations will feel the effects, but that's the risk they willingly accept. People probably don't own a bunch of brand new Teslas.

The only option is to refuse to buy Elon Musk's electric vehicle.
People should avoid Musk's automobiles and buy other brands, in my opinion.
The initial owner will lose a lot because Tesla doesn't do trade-ins when you wish to buy a new model.
