Tesla has filed a lawsuit in the US Court of International Trade, challenging the 25% tariffs on Chinese-made computer display screens, which they argue could cut their profits by $50 million. This lawsuit is part of a larger wave of over 300 cases filed by various companies against these tariffs, which are being imposed by the Trump administration.
