I always found it amazing when people say "Im buying American" when they don't realize that most of the American products are made in either China, Mexico, or any Central American country.

Here's the full list.
Interesting info but it's a bit lacking in detail. For example, how did last year's winner (the Ford Ranger) go from 1 to 28th, or how did the Mustang move from 34 to 2?

I read that, and still didn't put it together. Still, only 6 of the top 10 from 2020 were in the top 10 in 2021, and they all moved around. Maybe they had another article that did a little deep dive into it, don't know.
Seems like something that could be gamed depending on the detail and granularity they put into it. For example, if they count connectors (screws, bolts, clips, etc) and a car has 40,000 of them (making that up) that were made in China and you bought them in the US that could move you way up on the list.

Definitely. They referenced that in the "Under the hood" section where they broke down how they do the scores.

I was wondering why the Bolt wasn't listed at all until I did that. The battery and the drive trains are built in Korea so that pretty much disqualifies it.

It is almost impossible to buy American, but a person honestly should be impressed that Tesla is so much of their manufacturing, and soon mining, in America. Jay Leno always says that people should cut Tesla some slack because they are more American than most brands.

Oh man that was my favorite thing to do when I was working for Enterprise rental cars. One guy did not like me when I told him that his beloved Yukon Denali GMC was literally a Chevy Tahoe with a little more effort put into it. I would agree with the second statement too. |
