The announcement on December 3, 2025 contained a mix of accurate specific claims (Ford and Stellantis investments), significantly exaggerated claims (the $18 trillion investment figure), and inaccurate technical claims (the 62 mpg CAFE standard). The overall narrative that regulatory rollbacks alone will dramatically reduce car prices lacks support from automotive economists, who note that vehicle pricing is influenced by numerous factors beyond regulatory compliance costs. The most problematic claim is the investment figure, which multiple independent fact-checkers found to be inflated by a factor of 2-3 times even using generous assumptions.
