    No-brainer for them. They’re in the middle of cost-cutting and rebranding.

    Much healthier companies don’t want a bar of manufacturing in the US due to tarrifs and countries are already shifting toward a version of globalisation that doesn’t rely on the US. Not because it sucks, it’s just proven how disruptive it can be if it’s unstable.

    Nissan is kind of staring down a slow death on its current course, so has started a big radical change including shutting down its own domestic plants. Exfiltrating from manufacturing in the US where possible can just be assumed.

    They’re still putting out the new Leaf, which honestly looked like by far the best deal regardless of their other offerings
