Tesla Dominates 2021 American-Made Index

Tesla has no fewer than four models in the top 10 list of most American-made cars on sale today, according to an annual automotive index measuring the amount of US-manufactured content in vehicles.

The Kogod School of Business’ 2021 Made in America Auto Index lists the Tesla Model 3 in third position, Model S and Model Y in a shared fifth, and Model X in eighth.

The reason Tesla dominates the American-made ranking is that all the models it sells in the United States are made at the Fremont plant in California. Obviously, there’s more to this than just the factory location; Tesla uses local suppliers for the majority of components it uses in its electric vehicles.
