Yes. Tesla is doing both their auto production and their battery production in the USA.

Further, net offshoring ended last year.

A convergence of technological changes from advanced robotics to 3d manufacturing will make it important for manufacturers to produce their goods nearer to their market. The supply chains currently are too long.

Over 50% of US manufacturers in China are currently at some stage of reshoring their production.

There’s something like 2 trillion dollars of US corporate money parked overseas that won’t be repatriated for investment in the USA until tax laws are changed to make it profitable for them to repatriate their money and invest it in the USA.
