I doubt that "many" of the components are already being produced locally.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I meant that in theory a certain % of the components could be produced in the US. Say the CPU could be manufactured at a TSMC plant in Arizona and the semiconductor validation/packaging done in one of the recently opened plants for these sort of services (the previous US administration did award some grants specifically around validation/packaging).

Of course, many of the components cannot realistically be produced in the US. I am just going through a "what if" scenario.
