I would agree with this to some extent. People in North America (I would include my fellow Canadians in this), seem to be somewhat suspicious of new technology and slower to adopt than in some other countries. This is not always a bad thing, not all new technology is a great thing, but sometimes it can mean that clearer better new ways take longer to get accepted. But eventually we do get there.

To be fair China isn’t racing to electrification faster than Norway because Norway is already there.
Okay fair point. I meant that in terms of the rate of electrification of the major continental players, China is ahead of Europe who is ahead of the US. And yes Norway is just racing ahead of everybody. Good for them. People think that the US market is some kind of Lion Share of the global market and it's just not.To be fair China isn’t racing to electrification faster than Norway because Norway is already there.

In terms of percent, US is still not close to many countries, but in terms of volume sales, the US is the biggest single country market other than China.
About 760k was sold in 2022
US Electric Car Sales Increased 65% In 2022 - CleanTechnica
Europe as a total (including UK) did sell 1.6 million in 2022, but the largest country Germany only sold 471k.
BEV Sales in Europe Up 29% Year-on-Year in 2022
This year the US is poised to sell 1.3-1.4 million, so it's still a huge BEV market.
EV sales expected to hit new U.S. record in 2023—but Germany, China and Norway still lead the way
That's outpacing Europe in growth vs last year. which is expecting to grow to 2 million this year.
Price Cuts, Improved Choice Required To Reignite European EV Sales
I really hope so... sold my car early due to getting a good offer and now just waiting around for the Highland release...

There are still no implementation rules/guidelines for Tesla to follow in the US, so it won’t be any time soon.
Rocket surgery isn't rocket surgery either.
