25% Tariff imposed since 8/2018 on Chinese-made computer or "brain" for Model 3 assembled in the U.S. has hurt the Tesla's profitability so Tesla wants a tariff relief!
Exact supplier name is not known.
Tesla also cites reasons for lengthy delays of at least 18 months and potential poor quality and safety if it switches supplier.
