Tesla has less exposure to the tariffs than cars made entirely overseas. So it'll hurt them less.

And in Donald Trump's world, getting hurt less is as big a win as you can hope for.

I guess, but when people are lighting your cars on fire, I don't think it's going to work.

Exactly this. Sky news has a graph showing which car manufacturers are least impacted by tariffs and Tesla is top.
