OT (but will likely impact on TSLA long-term):
I'm afraid so. The frustrating part is, that I have been trying to warn everyone and their grandmother of this happening in Germany for the past 7 years. All I got was laughter and ridicule. No worries, I can deal with that - no worries. However, I can't deal with massive amounts of frustrated, middle-aged (mainly) men that lost their jobs in the car industry and turn xenophobic as a consequence of German car industry missing a whole armada of boats /rant-off.
One of the most astonishing points? VW seems to at least have understood that EVs are the only option worth pursuing right now. BMW, Mercedes & Co. STILL think that Diesel, CNG, Hydrogen and Plug-Ins is going to save them. And thus refuse to focus on EVs. It truly is mind-boggling...
Those are interlinked really. I'm afraid Germany will be hit hard by the TSLA revolution. It will get nasty.
