The D&H increase is subsidizing the EV R&D budget. Port of Baltimore has zero affect on SC manufacturing, as I belive 40% of BMW’s sold by BMW NA are manufactured in South Carolina. West coast market goes through Panama Canal, south east goes via Charleston and Brunswick.
18% increase is suspicious so close to the unfortunate Port of Baltimore bridge collapse. Wouldn’t be surprised if the FTC and/or Congress investigates this increase capitalizing on the disaster to raise D&H. Too much of a coincidence.
