And a lot of those manufacturers are gonna move those manufacturing out of the UK if they have to pay a 10% tariff to serve the 10 times larger EU market.

Most British car companies are owned by foreigners anyways, and if anything, this was a vote against non-British than a vote against the EU.

"this was a vote against non-British"

Unfortunately that was my impression of the main motive behind this Brexit vote - xenophobia.
