他們,把美國政府給告了!
原標題:他們,把美國政府給告了!

據外媒報道,當地時間9月21日,美國電動汽車制造商特斯拉在美國國際貿易法院,對特朗普政府提起了訴訟。
特斯拉律師在訴狀中表示,特朗普政府對該公司從中國進口物品加收關稅的行為武斷而任性,是“對自由裁量權的濫用”。同時,相關政府機構也沒有給予企業發聲的機會。
特斯拉要求法院認定特朗普政府該關稅征收行為不合法,并要求退還已支付的關稅稅款及期間利息。
券商Wedbush分析師丹尼爾·伊夫接受采訪時表示:“特斯拉狀告特朗普政府,此舉出乎意料且出手強勢,或吸引其他美國企業效仿。”伊夫相信,許多美國企業和投資者將密切關注此案進展。
Tesla Inc。 has sued the United States government for collecting tariffs on parts the company imported from China for the manufacturing of its electric cars。
Bloomberg reported that Tesla on Monday filed the suit concerning tariffs imposed by the Office of the U.S。 Trade Representative (USTR) on imports from China in the U.S。 Court of International Trade in New York。
The carmaker in its filing called tariffs “arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion。” It wants the court to declare the duties unlawful and order a refund, with interest, amounts already paid。

2018年8月,美國貿易代表辦公室公布了對價值約160億美元中國產品加征25%關稅的清單,特斯拉Model 3型號電動車部件組裝要用到的中國制造的電腦和顯示屏也名列其中。
對于特斯拉來說,額外的關稅意味著更高的制造成本,這將直接損害公司的盈利。于是該公司提出了征稅豁免的申請。不幸的是,該申請于2019年被美國貿易辦公室否決。
據特斯拉估算,由于要支付額外的關稅,公司當年第四季度將損失5000萬美元的毛利。
本周三,特斯拉股價暴跌10%,收報380.36美元,較8月31日創下的收盤歷史高位紀錄498.32美元下跌約24%。當天早些時候,特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克宣布,公司將在三年內推出2.5萬美元一輛的“廉價”自動駕駛汽車。
The USTR last year denied Tesla‘s bid to avoid tariffs of 25 percent on the Chinese-made computer and display screens it uses in its Model 3 electric car。 At the time, the company argued that the increased cost imposed by the tariffs would cause economic harm through the increase of costs and impact to profitability。
In 2018, the company estimated that additional tariffs on parts sourced from China would decrease gross profit by 50 million U.S。 dollars in the fourth quarter of the year。
Tesla shares on Wednesday tumbled 10 percent to 380.36 U.S。 dollars after its annual “Battery Day” event, in which its CEO Elon Musk said the company will cut costs to build a cheap electric car with a price tag of 25,000 U.S。 dollars in three years。

特斯拉并不“孤單”。據英國《衛報》報道,沃爾沃、福特及梅賽德斯-奔馳也已對特朗普政府提起訴訟,以期阻止美方對中國進口的物品“任意”征收關稅。
梅賽德斯-奔馳在訴訟文件中指責特朗普政府“發起了一場史無前例、無邊界、無限制的貿易戰,影響到從中國進口的逾5000億美元的產品”。
報道指出,中國是世界上最大的汽車市場,也是諸多汽車制造商業務的主要增長點。
特朗普政府對中國發起貿易戰并肆意加征關稅的做法,不僅引起了美國企業的不滿,也遭到了美國媒體的諷刺。《紐約時報》曾評價道,“
特朗普其實是在給美國人加稅”,CNBC則發文稱“增加關稅并沒有給美國人帶來好處”。
Other automakers, including General Motors, Volvo, Ford and Mercedes-Benz have also joined the battle to sue the U.S。 government because of the increasing costs caused by additional tariffs on auto parts from China, AFP reported。
Mercedes-Benz argued that U.S。 law “did not confer authority on defendants to litigate a vast trade war for however long, and by whatever means, they choose,” AFP reported。
