Almost all Hyundai's sold in North America are made in Alabama
Airbus has a factory in alabama too. Every company that builds factories in the us builds them in suburban parts of the worst states to keep their costs down and their workforce from unionizing. No large company, american or not, is above that.
Toyota is similar. Of their 15 North American factories, two are in Ontario, two are in Mexico, two are in California, and the remaining ten are all in us states that are republican strongholds.
Hyundai's north american factories are in georgia and alabama. Kia's two american factories are in georgia. Honda is ohio, alabama, both carolona, indiana, and georgia. VW is tennessee, texas, alabama, and oklahoma. This is every one of them.
Every single automaker I checked does most of their North American manufacturing not just primarily in the us, but specifically in the states that support those making threats against Canadian sovereignty.
The only solution as a car buyer would be to only buy those that are banned in the states. Or maybe not even that. BYD does have one american factory making busses. It in California, one of the less bad parts so there's that at least.
~~And most Toyotas are built in the US.~~
Edit: some production is starting in Kentucky.
Carolla's and Camry's are made it Mexico. The moved them from Cambridge ON, and started making Lexus' at that plant.
Corollas and camrys. I had to look because the apostrophes looked weird.

yeah, in no way did pluralizing make sense the way I did it.
I appreciate your acknowledgement. Sometimes autocorrect does weird stuff, sometimes our brain glitches, sometimes we simply don't know; but I'm personally grateful when someone teaches me a thing, so when I offer correction, it's never in malice.
You got two upvotes from me because of this comment.
Can you buy BYD EVs in Canada?
Soon. They are in the process of setting up 22 dealers here.

Although it's probably going to be only the high-end models, unless dropping the quotas on Chinese cars becomes part of the trade war.
I hope that's not part of the 50k quota of Chinese made vehicles of which half was gobbled up by Tesla.
I didn't hear about the Tesla part, but I guess it makes sense. If you only can sell a few thousand cars, why wouldn't it be the ones with the largest margin?
Yes, BYD would have been exactly the vehicles in mind when that policy was set up.
I suspect Stellantis builds in Canada.
They have essentially closed their plant in Brampton and moved production to the US.

Apparently the plant is going up for sale now.
RAV4 is built here as are the Lexus NX and RX.
A large portion of RAV4 production is moving to Kentucky.

Due to US demand. Canadian dealers will still source from Canadian plants. Obviously this is information is current as of today who knows what changes could come about in coming weeks

Ya, we used to make them all for the US as well.
And a lot of Fords are built in Canada, and a lot of parts in whatever car from elsewhere in the US. It's kind of an ABUSA edge case.
