Most people have absolutely no idea the volume of parts actually manufactured in Mexican plants.

Not sure how’d you confirm this, but I suspect if Mexico just decided to stop, or disappeared, the entire industry would be offline until they could spin up Central Europe and non-China Asia.

Some of the parts are manufactured in Central Europe and Asia, but nothing like Mexico. They are the last of the truly inexpensive, moderately-skilled labor on Earth.

Making car parts is so automated so that if made in the USA the cost difference would be unnoticeable in the final retail price of the car.
