Out of curiosity, how does one find out the domestic content of vehicles (or other goods)?

  This is a good question because all the manufacturers are totally integrated; It's really hard to determine "where a car is made" because of parts and sub-assembly. That said, several of the car sites tally up the origin of the parts and assembly and calculate the percentage (likely on a value-added basis) to determine "domestic content": https://www.cars.com/american-made-index/ https://www.cars.com/american-made-index/

    Maybe I don't understand what this is measuring but wouldn't Teslas be close to all-American? They even make the battery cells in the same site as the rest of the car I think. They don't show up anywhere on that list.

      From the page describing the report: "Tesla declined to furnish enough information to be included in the 2019 American-Made Index."

  In the USA, it's on the (Monroni) window sticker.
