The Tesla Model Y is considered the most American-made vehicle in 2024.
This is according to Cars.com's 18th annual American-Made Index, which analyzes factors like where the vehicle is assembled, where parts are sourced, and the percentage of U.S. labor involved.
While the Tesla Model Y takes the top spot, other American-made vehicles include:
- Honda Passport: Designed and developed by Honda engineers in the U.S.
- Honda Ridgeline: Also designed and developed by Honda engineers in the U.S.
- Honda Odyssey: Another model designed and developed in the U.S.
It's important to note that "American-made" can be subjective. Some vehicles are assembled in the U.S. but have many parts sourced internationally. While others, like the Tesla Model Y, are assembled in the U.S. and have a higher percentage of parts sourced in America.
The American-Made Index is a helpful guide for consumers seeking vehicles with a higher U.S. content. However, it's not a foolproof measure, and other factors like the overall quality and affordability should be considered when making a purchase decision.
