      It’s shit like this that brings me closer and closer to being convinced that we’re completely fucked as a species. We can’t even keep it in our pants when the fucking Fascists are at play…

        He is a billionaire, he is definitely fucking up their country, just as he is fucking up every single county, just by being a billionaire doing billionaire things.

        Tesla’s bang for buck is horrible. You get a shitty car made from the worst plastic possible, and on top of that they don’t even have good quality control. The only thing that differentiated Tesla from the competition previously was the battery technology, but they no longer have that edge nowadays.

        The Norwegians are probably getting them because they got used to it, and probably don’t want to rely on Chinese cars. Beats me why they would select a Tesla nowadays over the European brands.

            Model Y are made in germany, I guess that’s why they are popular in europe, now some countries give subsidies only if EV is made in europe

        The quality of the product completely aside, I would suggest it is your moral duty to not do business with corporations where the CEO can publicly throw sieg heils without repercussions when there are other choices available.

            In this case, yeah, because Teslas also objectively suck as a result of the Fascist at the helm. But whenever we’re dealing with Fascists, principle should always trump practicality - we should all deal with Fascists by NOT making deals* with Fascists.
