    Nordic countries are the biggest EV market right now. I have no clue why this imbecile tries to destroy his own business by offending Swedes.

      It is just yet an other case of an American believing every other country reacts the same as the US.

      Something something superiority complex.

          Oh no, I can.

          He may not have been born there, but he definitely is a product of it’s unbridled capitalism.

            Homes, he didn’t even come to America until ~19-20 years old, well after core personality is developed. He’s a product of South African apartheid wealth accumulation and a rich upbringing. Keep slinging your shit though, you do you.

      I’m pretty sure China is the biggest EV market. There just simply aren’t enough people in Sweden.

      The population of Sweden is 10M. A little bit more than the population of metro Chicago.

      As a percentage of population, EV adoption is extremely high. But the ceiling for the EV market is nothing compared to China.

        Not sure why you’re being downvoted. There are a LOT of Chinese EVs here. Volvo recently launched a new EV too that’s super popular.

        There’s also Volkswagen and Polestar of course. That said you see a lot of BYD, MG, Lynk & Go here. I don’t keep track of all the brands, my roomie is more of a motor nerd, I’d ask him if he wasn’t sleeping.

        In short though, the Chinese EVs tend to be really good deals.

        pretty sure China is the biggest EV market.

        Only a market for cheap vehicles (and a few expensive ones, but they need to be large, so that you can take your luxury back seat and have your driver in front). If there’s any country on the planet that really doesn’t need Tesla, it’s China.

        Nordic countries

        Also

        And from Norway

        Fellesforbundet also supports the Swedish Tesla strike by refusing to offload Tesla cars in Norway that are scheduled for delivery in Sweden. The federation has announced further boycott action to stop Tesla cars from reaching Sweden via Norway if no agreement is reached before 20 December.

        This fight isn’t limited to ONE country

      You know why.

      We all know why.

      Hes a right wing fashy control freak that thinks the peasantry should just do as they are told, and too far up his own ass to ever consider the possibility of himself being wrong.
