Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla
-
It's was getting shown off at CES. Plenty of videos on youtube.
Europe would be a different beast regardless. It's expensive to pay for safety testing in one place and those aren't transferable. If you want one in Europe, you might be able to as a private importer maybe? There was one guy who tried that with a Cybertruck and got in trouble. I'm not a lawyer.
-
This metal blob goes against so many safety regulations in Europe, it is basically unfixable. And even then you would need a truckers licence to drive it, like the ones for big commercial trucks.
-
They have there place, but they are in the same boat as vans etc. They are commercial vehicles, to do a job, not city runabouts to stroke egos.

"Europe and the UK" did they move the UK to another continent, or did they mean the EU?
-
So, I hate to be the breaker of bad news, but the UK has left the EU
Don't shoot the messenger -
EU != Europe
Europe is a continent. The European Union is a group of countries in Europe, no longer including the UK.
-
Read the comment. EU - maybe, but not the Europe,how do you leave a continent?
-
Maps like this are the only way my feeble American brain can process complicated European things.
-
Turns out that siding against voters interested in human sustainability, and pro oil extortionist conservatives bent on climate and human destruction is not a good EV marketing strategy. I have an MBA... AMA
-
Yes but not the continent despite what certain people would like
-
Great Britain and the British Isles are geographical terms, not political ones. Sometimes publications will say Great Britain to mean England, Scotland, and Wales, but not Northern Ireland but they also don't include things like the Isle of Man in that even though technically Great Britain does include the Isle of Man.
Unless the conversation is explicitly about geography, and land masses you should not use anything other than the United Kingdom.
-
Is the manbaby gonna sue every European for not buying his shitass cars now?
-
Yeah technically it's a HGV, and you need an HGV license in order to be able to drive it.
Although apparently the other problem is that it has red indicators, because in the US they don't have separate lights for brakes and indicators they just flash the brake light.
-
Give it a couple million years of plate tectonics.
-
The only acceptable vehicle is a range rover, and even then it has to have mud on it.
-
Most cars have yellow lights for indicators and red for brakes. Even for the US having red indicators is at least uncommon.
-
Also doing a nazi salute in front of thousands of people with full blown media coverage.
-
No it's not. I see red turning indicators waaay more often than yellow ones.
-
There's a lot more, but they don't stand out. Look at cars that don't have a radiator and if course a tailpipe.

You see there was this little thing called Brexit....
