    Tesla has sneaked its way to the top of the list of the most American-made cars.
    Now the electric automaker has two of the top three vehicles in Cars.com’s American Made-Index.
    I often find that many people forget that Tesla is an American automaker for better or worse.
    It’s not only an American automaker, but its vehicles made in the US are also more American-made than most due to Tesla’s vertical integration approach, which results in building a lot of parts itself.
    The main thing that has been holding it back to me among the most-American-made vehicles has been the battery cells, which for Model S and Model X were coming from Japan.
    But now with Model 3 and Model Y, the battery cells are coming from Nevada, where Tesla has a factory in partnership with Panasonic.
    It has now resulted in Tesla Model 3 becoming the No. 1 most-American-made car in Cars.com’s American Made-Index:

    It’s the first time that an all-electric vehicle takes the top spot, and as you can see, Model Y is now also on the list.

    Kelsey Mays, assistant managing editor and AMI’s lead researcher, commented:

    “Tesla has now cemented itself firmly on Cars.com’s American Made-Index, with the Model 3 and the Model Y taking the No. 1 and No. 3 spots, respectively. The 2021 AMI arrives against a backdrop of scarce inventory amid a microchip shortage and heightened consumer demand. Despite this, there remains a high consumer focus on buying American-made vehicles as the economy is still emerging from the effects of the pandemic. For those interested in making the biggest impact here, the index gives shoppers a way to purchase the most American-made vehicle.”

    Isn't she beautiful?

    It wasn't incoherent. It was plain as day to me. Do the right thing, make the right choices, say things that are of moral worth, piss them off. Clear as a bell.

    These Republicans are all lifelong committed losers. Committed to making the world shitty.

    Luckily with you at least, I KNOW you'll get banned again. You're too stupid not to.

    You go ahead and believe that if it makes you feel better and I'll continue to enjoy driving my 2021 Blue Tesla Model Y AWD LR.

    Do you also believe Trump won the 2020 election? Does that make you feel better, too?

    I rest my case.

    His next response: You don't have a Tesla.

    Why would he not want to believe I own a Tesla? He has no proof I don't own one so his statement is not based on reality.
    Maybe it's just the way the MAGA mind works. If you don't want something to be true, just pretend it isn't true. Problem solved.
    That's what they're doing with the 2020 election and the Jan 6 Capitol Riot. They can't handle Trump losing so they just pretend he won. Silly.
    Must be a genetic thing.
