Rail is heavily used for shipping vehicles from manufacturers that put out large numbers, making it pretty economical and environmentally sensible to ship from Canada, Mexico, and many US states.
Right. I was talking more compared with shipping from overseas.
But you said "or even parts of Mexico". Large numbers of components in a Tesla come from outside the US, including from Asia. Not a lot of brands are mass shipping vehicles from Asia to North America, instead they build them here. And source parts from suppliers that build factories nearby.
Congratulations. You just won a place on my block list. For what you say? Being a pedantic, argumentative, dorkus.
I'm sure you are capable of figuring out what I meant but instead chose to argue over verbiage.
Being wrong hurt you that much? That's weird.
