My guess is that, in most jurisdictions, the trend will be towards lower incentives in the future. Take the incentives when they are available and don't look back. But as they say, predictions are difficult especially if they involve future events.
There's lots of EVs that can make the cut, if they reduce the price by a few grand.
Maybe the performance version?
All in inventory are made in the USA. I believe only the performance model will come from China.
There's a reason that the USA and EU are slapping high tariffs on MIC cars. They have much lower manfacturering costs because every aspect of the production is less expensive than in the USA. Based upon EU tariffs, and in China retail price it's something like 30% lower.
This is an article from 2023. The Performance and LR were being shipped from China until late 2023 i believe and since then they've changed all of them to made in California. you can tell by the VIN numbers and the fact that certain colours (i.e cherry red, quicksilver) are not available in Canada as the Fremont factory can't do those colours. The made in China ones are actually a better build imo as my friends have a couple of them. My guess is they were shipping from China to meet the increased demand in NA where as in China the demands was being reduced due to competition from BYD and others.
