The "American" Tariff

Newsweek provides us with a list of the car models least likely to incur the President's 25% tariffs, those which are most "American.".  Of the twenty models on the list, fifteen are Hondas, Toyotas, and a Volkswagen.  Two are what we would consider "American:"  the Dodge Ram 1500 and the Jeep Gladiator - although these brands are owned by Stellantis N.V., a consortium of two French car companies, including Fiat.

And the other three, coming in at #9, #4, and #1?  But you can guess, can't you?

So the President's 25% tariffs on cars, due April 3, will enrich foreign car companies and Elon Musk - an immigrant.  Am I missing something here?
