Taking it one step further, what are the advantages of having a production facility in the United States?
- Do not see a cost advantage. Raw material , lithium supplies etc. will need to be imported/assessed the 25% tariff. Due to the cost of the dollar versus the RMB, see disadvantage, not advantage on exchange.
- Direct labor will be more expensive in the US. Taxes will be higher and government regulation greater.
- Supply chain leadtimes, probably about the same due to the long poles in the tent which will be material.
