Tesla, the electric car company run by Elon Musk, said this week that retaliatory tariffs against US manufacturers could harm its operations and that the US should carefully consider its trade policies, a break from Musk’s ally President Donald Trump. In a March 11 letter to US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, company representatives wrote: “As a U.S. manufacturer and exporter, Tesla encourages USTR to consider the downstream impacts of certain proposed actions taken to address unfair trade practices.” “While Tesla recognizes and supports the importance of fair trade, the assessment undertaken by USTR of potential actions to rectify unfair trade should also take into account exports from the United States,” the letter said. It warned that past US tariff actions have resulted in “immediate reactions” by the targeted countries, such as increased tariffs on EVs imported into those countries. Past tariff actions by the US, Tesla wrote, increased the cost of US-manufactured vehicles for the company and when those vehicles are exported out of the US. The Office of the US Trade Representative should investigate ways to avoid these pitfalls in future actions, the letter added. The letter also said that trade policy should consider the “limitations in the domestic supply chain” regarding EVs and lithium-ion batteries. Some of these items are simply impossible to source within the US, the letter argued.
