I think the question is whether or not there is fundamentally any change in which models are built in SC and if any of them will be exported to other countries as a result of the expansion. From the cnbc article its unclear if there is any change in the models currently being produced in SC |

Export volume depends on market demand, but I imagine much of the expansion will be to accommodate the booming SUV market here in the west. |

I think they also mentioned that SC is assembly only from major parts/components (assuming made in germany mostly) vs engine manufacture etc
