My guess is that the headline should read "Jeep capitalizing on Leapmotor JV through $25k badge engineered model for US". The article says nothing about where this magically low cost EV has come from, but I can guarantee that it wasn't from Dearborn.

I don't even think "Jeep" (in quotes because they're no longer a company) have any presence in the US anymore. All of their presence, as far as I know, is in Amsterdam as part of Stellantis.

What about the Toledo assembly plant?

I have been wrong before, and this is yet another instance. I wasn't aware of that.
