This development allows the model to bypass the standard 30.7% tariff imposed on Chinese imports, making it more competitive in the European market. The move highlights how automakers are adapting production strategies to navigate trade policies and reduce costs for consumers. The decision could set a precedent for other electric vehicle manufacturers facing similar tariff challenges.
