    I doubt it. Mexico doesn't adhere to NHTSA FMVSS standards, unlike Canada and the US. This is why Mexico has foreign brands like Renault, Peugeot, MG, etc that the rest of North America* doesn't get. Mexico also continued to sell the 1990 version of the Tsuru (Sentra/Sunny) in base, no airbags until 2017, which wouldn't have been legal in the US past 1998.

    Can't you just ask Trump to rename some diesel pickup to EV? Would be easier.

    Bold of you to assume a Trump branded vehicle would run at all!

    Oh, not even that. For that, you get an email promising delivery within months and then nothing after that ever. :)
