Depends on what you mean by American. Most assume you are referring to Ford or GM. But Tesla and Rivian are US made. Many are built in the States by non US companies. BMW, Volvo, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia.
Tesla is a toxic brand due to Elon.
I love the idea of Rivian but they don't want to sell in Australia and the R1/R2 have too steep/bulldozer blade of a front to sell in EU (no pedestrian rollup protection)
Chinese batteries and many parts from Canada and Mexico.
Just like every other vehicle made anywhere in the world. It's a global supply chain.
