Simple question. Complicated answer. What components are made in China on your range? How much labor is in the range? Does the added labor cost offset the shipping costs? Is it just Chinese stuff assembled in USA?

Tesla is made in USA, right? Go into the factory and a LOT of parts/castings/electrical components comes from China...

But steel from Canada? Guess what, it could easily be from China. Or Japan. Or Germany.

Are you really buying North American? The world-wide supply chain makes that very unlikely.

Define 'Made In America'. Then look for products that qualify. It might be a very small website. And exceedingly difficult to maintain.
