American-Made Index 2024 results
In the latest American-Made Index compiled by Cars.com, Tesla secured the number‑one spot for the sixth year running. The Model 3 holds the top position, while the Model Y follows in second place.
Trend in rankings
Last year the Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X filled the four leading spots. Tesla’s repeated presence near the top of the list reflects sustained demand for its vehicles among U.S. consumers.
Index methodology
The index ranks cars based on domestic manufacturing and market performance. Tesla’s factories in Fremont, California, and the Gigafactory in Texas are key contributors to its strong showing.
Future considerations
Despite the strong performance, Tesla has recently discontinued certain model productions, which could affect future rankings. Industry observers are watching how the company’s model lineup and production capacity evolve.
