Oh i assumed that half of Volkswagen group cars are produced in the United States as stated here? Or are the 175,000 cars refering to the Volkswagen brand?
I think it would be a good idea to develop an comprehensive article in Notion which gives an overview of the situation incl. a description where major factories are located.
The argument that Trump is making here is good and should be considered in our models. If prices rise overall cars produced in the united states will have a way higher margin and actually benefit from the tariffs. (Given that sales don’t collapse and demand doesn’t shift significantly to used cars - which could be a major factor imo)
