Mach e is made in Mexico-be American, buy American (USA)
So I guess we should buy a made in USA:
Honda
Subaru
Huyndai
BMW
Mercedes
VW
Kia
Toyota?
Hmm, Toyota Tundras are made in TX. Should I buy one of those vs. a TX edition Silverado 1500 made outside of TX?
You say buy American, but what do you mean? American made? Or American home company? This statement can no longer be made very easily.
Curious to see how many made in China products are in your house. Do you check labels on clothing, other durable goods, TV's, phones, etc?

Love all the out-of-spite disagreements here.
Am I missing something? Ford is not considered an American manufacturer because they produce some vehicles in Mexico, but Tesla is considered American, even though they produce vehicles in China?
The Kool-aid is strong on this forum.
Seriously.
