If a local US manufacturer is found, expect prices to escalate and more job losses at Tesla.

Plenty of other places to get stuff made and the trade war is only with China. I'm sure some Korean firm could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China/Korea...same dog, different leg 😁 I was chatting onsite with a manager at a curtains and blinds shop recently, and he said they can't stay open if they still had to manufacture in Australia, so they now just send measurements to their supplier in China and 3 weeks later its assembled, delivered and installed. 5 jobs were lost in their factory. I buy 30 multi tool blades from a guy in Sydney for $1.50each and he still makes a profit, yet Bunnings sell the exact same blades from the same Chinese supplier for $15-17each. When a local manufacturer of basically the same blades charge $30 each, why would anyone in business not buy from China etc? It's costing thousands of jobs, but what can be done about it?

sleazius Posted 26February, 2020 Report Share Posted 26February, 2020 Yeah I had to re-read that.
