Tesla is feeling the pain virtually everywhere in Europe except in the UK, but that’s because Tesla is selling its vehicles for much cheaper there.

And because we have a population that doesn't give a shit about right wing racists, because huge swathes of them are also right wing racists.

Well, same is true for large parts of Germany right now, but Tesla still doesn’t sell a lot of vehicles at the moment, because german racists seem to hate electric cars more than they like other racists.
