Notes:

Addendum (May 2013): The Tesla Model S did not report data to contribute to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's AALA "Domestic Content" Score in 2013 and therefore was not ranked when this index was published. However, an AALA label was obtained through an auto dealer and its score subsequently calculated at 77.5, a ranking of no. 14. Additionally, the Nissan Leaf, which recently began being assembled in Tennessee, moves up to no. 58 with a total score of 27.5.
