Where "finally assembly" means screwing on a door handle after the rest of the car was shipped from China.

  > Where "finally assembly" means screwing on a door handle after the rest of the car was shipped from China. Do you know that for sure? According to Wikipedia: - Canoo's research & development team is based in Michigan, in the Detroit region (Auburn Hills, Livonia), but production operations are in Justin, Texas. - On June 17, 2021, the company announced they would build a new factory in Pryor, Oklahoma (just outside Tulsa) to manufacture all of their future vehicles. - On November 15, 2021, the company announced it would move its headquarters to Bentonville, Arkansas and establish a manufacturing plant there.[37] As of December 2022 the company still lists Torrance, California as its headquarters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canoo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canoo

    I understand why, but people are jumping the gun to cynicism here. Obviously, a "factory" could mean anything, and maybe we need more details to know, but at first real inspection, it seems like they're making them in Oklahoma.

      For better or worse, several of the recent tax laws have heavily incentivized domestic manufacturing, especially in high-tech spaces like batteries, EVs, and semiconductors. There will indeed be a lot of actual manufacturing in the states in the next few years. Just look at the construction investment charts, there's legitimate industrial policy for the first time in generations. Compare the manufacturing facility spending today vs. the "other" category which included the housing boom in 2007; https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/unpacking-the-boom-in-us-construction-of-manufacturing-facilities-figure2.png https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/unpacking-the-boo...
