I'm looking to get a new car to replace a 2010 Prius. I'd prefer an American-made Tesla (or other Made-In-The-USA electric car. I strongly urge you to support legislation to give a hefty tax deduction or credit for buying electric Made-In-The-USA vehicles. Give only a very small or no deduction for foreign-made vehicles.
As a senior, I need all the help I can get driving and navigating. A USA-only credit or deduction will both encourage electrifying our highways to reduce pollution and CO2 emissions, and supporting American auto companies and their employees. An additional benefit is the added safety of cars, like the Tesla, that can help drivers navigate safely.

Update 2021-07-11
There is a saying, "put your money where your mouth is." I'd like to remind our elected representatives, who are encouraging us to "go green" and "buy American", to follow that maxim. Do you really mean it when you advocate reducing CO2 emissions, increasing vehicular safety, encouraging American businesses, and helping middle-class Americans? Then vote to restore and increase the tax credit for American-made electric vehicles in the Infrastructure Bill that is wending its way through Congress.
To our State governors and legislatures, you are likewise encouraged to make it less expensive to buy American than Chinese, Korean, EU, UK, etc. Keep the money at home and use it to truly Make America Great Again (this time without Trump's disruptive, divisive antics!).
