What he's saying is that imposing tariffs on imports to the U.S. will drive up the prices of imported materials and components used to manufacture cars here in the U.S.

There isn't a car anywhere that is made with 100% domestic content.

Here's the interesting thing: There probably never WAS such a car. At a bare minimum, U.S. auto manufacturers have been using foreign rubber for the tires on their cars ever since the rubber tire was invented.
