i meant the claim that teslas are the top made in america cars. i looked and found cars.com's list of the most made in america cars and their dubious Made in America Index and that's about it.
i also want to just throw an electronics manufacturing industry scoff at the CBOs methodology. i used to work for an electronics manufacturer that did mostly pcb assembly. a bunch of the work was government contracts or prestige stuff that had to say "made in USA" on it as opposed to the more clear symbol of a hollowed out manufacturing sector, "assembled in USA". every day truckloads of parts from china would get soldered to PCBs from iirc taiwan and that was enough to earn made versus assembled.
