I think you'll find that all, or most, of the foreign auto manufacturers have located their plants in "right to work states", where wages are lower than in the other states and where labour disputes are less likely to happen, along with plants in Brazil and Mexico.

I find  it fascinating that German and Japanese manufacturers can make

make profits  when American companies are furiously shipping every job they
can overseas  because they claim that they cannot make money paying living
wages (or even  the starvation level Minimum Wage in the  US).
