Yeah, cost of labor excuse seems to be mostly bullshit. Half the parts in a Tesla are still made in China. How many hours truly go in assembly and giga pressing in America?

The price difference is simply due to Tesla having bigger batteries, bigger motors, bigger hype, and I'm going to assume all those FSD engineers aren't cheap (Even though they have yet to produce anything of value).
