They are planning to build factories in Mexico from what I have read so once those factories are up and running. I expect not before that as direct chinese imports have many tariffs. With the noise starting to come out of US politicians about chinese spying using its electric cars it looks like US car makers and politicians are slowly waking up to the fact that by trying to follow and copy tesla they have been blindsided by cheap chinese ev car manufacturers

Newer rules require vehicles to have a certain amount of content from US/CA/MX to get around the tariffs. That's a big part of why a bunch of smaller vehicles (e.x. Honda Fit, Mazda 2) left the US market, they were assembled in Mexico but did not have enough local content to keep avoiding duties.
