I also asked my dealership about what happens to ordered cars if tariffs are imposed before they pass customs. Their answer was that I could refuse the car if I didn't want to pay the higher price. The price "lock" doesn't apply to something like this.
yeah I was afraid of this too. right now the tariff on European cars is 5%. if they try to align them with what Europe does with US cars, it would go up to 10% which isn't too bad. however I doubt it will be this minor of an increase and I'm guessing they will go up to at least 20 or 25%, meaning only wealthier Americans will be able to afford them.
