Cars.com released their American-Made Index rankings for the 95 most American vehicles with Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Model Y at the top of the list. This is the third time the website has released its rankings in its 17-year history.
The 2022 study follows the same guidelines as in 2020 and 2021, ranking 95 vehicles through the same five criteria: assembly location, parts content, engine origins, transmission origins and U.S. manufacturing workforce.
The Tesla Model Y was not the only Tesla vehicle to make the list this year, and not the first Tesla model to top the list either. In 2021, the top spot was held by the company’s model 3. The model 3 has returned to the top 10 at number 2 this year. The Model X comes in at No. 5, and the Model S follows at No. 6.
In 2020, Tesla Models S and 3 held the third and fourth spots, respectively.
