Oopsy, turns out there's consequences for working to elect a demented maniac!

Elon Musk’s electric-car maker Tesla has warned that President Donald Trump’s trade war could make it a target for retaliatory tariffs against the US and increase the cost of making vehicles in America.

In an unsigned letter addressed to US trade representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla said it “supports” fair trade but warned that US exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions”.

Tesla is using a "proprietary" version of 301 stainless.

Even 304 would rust in most vehicle applications. It's still a very high percentage of iron and a very low amount of molybdenum and tungsten.
