KEY POINTS
• Tesla is suing the U.S. government and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer over the Trump administration’s tariffs on parts Tesla imports from China to manufacture its electric cars.
• The electric car maker wants the court to declare two batches of Trump administrations tariffs to be void, and refund Tesla the tariffs it paid with interest.
• In 2019, U.S. trade officials rejected Tesla’s bid for relief on 25% tariffs on the Model 3?s car computer, citing that it uses technologies strategically important to Chinese national security programs.
