So they put together a prebuilt Lego set.

  Yes, every 'Lego set' gets build and taken apart, shipped, and built again. It seems very very silly, but it turns out to be the easiest way to do it. Some clues: Individual Lego pieces can be dropped in a bin with other Lego pieces without sustaining damage. Lego pieces can be shipped in a cardboard box without sustaining damage. Vehicle assembly plants are very complicated. Vehicles have a lot of parts. Some vehicle parts are large. The assembly plant is the only location to which all those parts are shipped, and may be found in proximity. An assembly plant has multiple systems for logistics to ensure that parts come together at the right time and place.

  They design their own vehicles, and most of the steel body and chassis is built locally. This is like saying Lego is 'just melting plastic' into special shapes. There are many problems with Canoo and it will likely go under soon, but that's not one of them.

    Nothing would make me happier than if something were built in America but I don’t want to give that designation to Chinese mass produced trash.
