The US Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer, is scheduled to visit Tesla‘s Fremont factory in California later on Thursday, as part of a manufacturing tour built to promote the Trump administration’s push to bring production back to the United States.

Thursday’s stop would place the administration’s top trade official inside Tesla‘s Fremont vehicle factory, at a moment when the company’s domestic manufacturing footprint has become a talking point for the White House.

Semafor, which first reported the plans on Tuesday, said the visit anchors a two-day swing through high-tech producers in the Bay Area.

Greer’s Thursday schedule pairs the Tesla visit with a stop at NextFlex, a flexible-electronics manufacturer in San Jose, according to the report.

The same day, he is set to speak with fellows at the Hoover Institution and to take part in Barclays’ Semiconductor Board and CEO Summit.

On Friday, the tour continues to the drone maker Skydio in Hayward and the chip-equipment supplier Applied Materials in Sunnyvale.

The lineup spans the sectors the administration has placed at the center of its reindustrialization message: electric vehicles and autos, flexible electronics, drones and semiconductors.

Greer’s stated aim is to spotlight trade policies the administration says are pulling jobs and factories back to the United States, Semafor reported.

In April, the trade chief toured drone and truck plants in Michigan and Ohio, meeting workers and executives to argue that tariffs and new trade deals are accelerating US production.

The Bay Area swing extends that playbook into the country’s highest-profile technology cluster.

Tesla vehicles sold in the US are the most US-made ones ahead of Ford or GM.

In March 2025, as the administration rolled out new tariffs, Tesla submitted a formal public letter to Greer as part of the trade office’s review of unfair trade practices and non-reciprocal arrangements.

The filing came as the administration’s new duties began rippling through global supply chains.

In the letter, the company warned that US exporters, itself included, are “inherently exposed” to retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries in response to US actions.

Tesla said it supported “fair trade,” but urged the office to weigh the downstream effects on American exporters and the limits of the domestic supply chain.

Certain lithium-ion battery components, the company noted, remain “difficult or impossible” to source entirely within the United States despite its onshoring efforts.

Trade actions “should not (and need not) conflict with” the goal of expanding domestic manufacturing, Tesla wrote.

SpaceX, also led by Elon Musk, filed a separate letter focused on trade barriers in the space sector.
