For the Ipace-based Waymos, Magna was assembling them. They already built the Ipace for Jaguar. IIRC there's a plant in Arizona where Magna does this. So it's plausible that they are assembling the Zeeker van there, too. For whatever value of "assembling" gets around the tariffs. That and a few dozen solid gold Pixel Folds should do the job.

However, since Waymo is adding custom electronics in the US (and the Chinese vehicle is shipped to them with none), this restriction doesn't apply. This all comes from an article one year ago: https://www.wired.com/story/waymo-finds-a-way-around-us-restrictions-on-chinese-evs/ https://www.wired.com/story/waymo-finds-a-way-around-us-rest... They still have to pay a 100% tariff on the vehicle they receive, but It is probably somewhere in the realm of just $10k-$20k since they are receiving fairly stripped down vehicles.
