I’m enjoying this. Also Musk went out and said that he wants barriers on trade or else the Chinese companies will dominate the market.

I thought Musk would be happy, because he truly wants to save the planet doesn’t he? It shouldn’t matter if he or someone else makes the best electric cars then?

    You want me as a customer? Kick your CEO out, improve part availability for me as a long time owner after warranty ends, open up repair documentation. Oh, and stop making battery packs a monolithic block of cells and glue.

    If I splurge 50k€ on something, I need to be sure that I won’t lose that investment over a minor event.

      He could, and has shown that he will disable the car if you make a mean tweet about him. Stay away…

      I think Volvo Recharge models are better than Tesla anyway. :)

      Much higher quality, much more quiet inside, and Volvo actually knows how to make a car.

        Same issues though. I don’t yet trust chinese manufacturers to offer proper repair manuals and parts longterm.
