Per @SawyerMerritt

BREAKING: Tesla's Cybertruck is officially the most American made truck overall!

The Cybertruck has 90% North American parts, including 65% from the US/Canada, per Tesla's Monroney sticker. The Ford F-150 Lightning has just 38% US/Canada content, and the ICE version just 30%.

Tesla has gone to great lengths to localize as much as possible. The Cybertruck's Maroney sticker says:
• Battery mfg & assembly: Austin, TX
• Motor Assembly: Austin
• Gearbox/transmission: Austin
• On-board charger final assembly: Austin
• Final assembly: Austin

Here are the Class 2 pickup truck's with the most US/Canada parts content:

• Tesla Cybertruck: 65%
• Dodge Ram 1500: 61%
• Toyota Tundra: 55%
• Nisaan Titan: 45%
• GMC Sierra: 37%
• Ford F-150 (gas version): 32%
• Chevy Silverado: 31%
• Ford F-150 Lightning: 24%

One point, it's not Dodge Ram. It's just Ram Trucks. Or Stellantis Ram. Both Dodge and Ram are under Stellantis, and have been separate since 2009.

Anyone notice that it says “heated seats for all seating positions” which we know isn’t true in the UI, the fifth (middle) seat doesn’t have an option for heat.

Even my Model 3 has middle rear heated.

It will be interesting to see how things work out when the listings are posted.

The Ridgeland was quite a ways down the list compared to the 4 Tesla vehicles.

AWD Cybertruck is a little heavier at 6600 lbs. Dang batteries!

BEVs get counted differently than ICE

basically, BEV’s get a bit of a lift in rankings based on how the methodology does/doesn’t “count” things they sample for arriving at the %

So, an ICE vehicle that is “65%” made in “America”*** can theoretically have more parts made in America than a BEV also listed as “65%” - it’s just that the two methods of counting score different lists of things (because they have significantly different parts lists)



***which includes Canada, but for no good reason excludes Mexico, other than historical accident of the regulatory reports used to create the scores excludes Mexico but includes Canada

Am I the only one that thinks it is weird that the CT has NO markings or even mention of Tesla on the Maroney sticker?

Don't get me wrong, I love that it isn't covered in Tesla brand advertising.

But I'm starting to think Tesla may thinking of CT as a separate brand....

Since 2009 RAM Trucks have been separate from Dodge. They were both under the respective parent, now Stellantis.

That's not an EV's fault that an ICE has so many damn parts!

If reducing the number of parts in a vehicle is an unfair advantage, I'll take it every time.
