Tesla has asked its suppliers to exclude components manufactured in China from its vehicles assembled in the United States due to geopolitical tensions, The Wall Street Journal reported. This decision comes amid growing trade disputes and sanctions between the two countries. Electric vehicle manufacturers are trying to reduce their dependence on Chinese parts to avoid potential delays and additional costs. According to the publication, Tesla has sent corresponding requests to its partners, which may lead to a reorientation of supply chains. The company has previously faced logistics problems and a shortage of microchips, which negatively affected production rates.
