Presumably they use the loophole called "paying the tariff".
Plus, all the sensor equipment is made in China anyway. There’s almost certainly no way to have it manufactured in the US.
On top of that, fleet sales don’t have to deal with the antiquated dealer network laws in the US.
And of course American market car manufacturers refuse to produce vehicles that are like this one: space efficient and reasonably sized, instead opting for gigantic bean shaped SUVs with sloping rear roofs that rob you of cargo space while taking up maximum curb real estate.
Ignore the crazy high MSRP, they are selling poorly and you should be able to get one brand new or lightly used one in the 40s.
I think in a short couple of years they could be a steal on the used market.
On the bright side the ID Buzz is deeply discounted, it is really not selling.
The problem is that the Kia EV9 beats it in basically every spec at roughly the same price.
