Tesla is the brand less affected by tariffs on the automotive industry imposed by the US, according to economists.
Donald Trump’s government imposed 25 % tariffs on all vehicles manufactured outside the US
The tariffs that the Donald Trump administration has imposed the automobile sector can increase the prices of vehicles that are sold in the United States an average of between $ 4,000 and $ 15,000, as analyzed on Thursday, March 27, analysts.
Cox Automotive economists, a firm specialized in the automobile sector, foresee that the price of a vehicle fully produced in the US will increase some $ 3,000, while those assembled in Mexico or Canada will double that figure, at 6,000 dollars.
Cox Automotive also warned that, by mid -April, rates will cause serious problems to all North America production plants, so the region will manufacture 20,000 vehicles less per day, which will also influence the price by reducing the offer.
Bank of America estimates a rise of at least $ 4,500 per vehicle; Bernstein, 6,700 dollars; and Guggenheim, between $ 6,000 and $ 7,000.
For its part, the Goldman firm raises between $ 5,000 and $ 15,000 the price increase that imported vehicles will suffer, while those manufactured nationally will have an increase of $ 8,000.
American car manufacturers will suffer from the impact of tariffs with different intensity.
Thus, General Motors (GM), which mounts more units than its rivals in Mexico and Canada, will be more affected than Ford or Stellantis, while the company that will suffer least will be Tesla. The company directed by Elon Musk, a close collaborator of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, is the most protected because he assembles all the vehicles he sells in North America in the US.
