MODERATORS
I agree w/ the "best" argument but I don't agree with the "first to market" argument.... There were a notable amount of electric cars in the UK before Tesla became a thing. Perhaps things in .de are different..
I did notice in Berlin just a few weeks ago that you guys don't really seem to be pushing for clean air zones in major cities unlike a lot of the UK which given your progressive population came as a surprise to me.
Sure, there were electric cars. But if I remember correctly, Tesla was the first to deliver the whole next-gen package with an every day, everywhere car, plus charging stations plus the whole automation. If you wanted that, there was no way around Tesla for quite a while.
RE "next-gen" "every day" "everywhere car" I can't comment because they don't really make a quantifiable point.
RE Charging: In the UK we had charge at home infrasatructure w/ .gov compensation and charging points at businesses/supermarkets/petrol stations way before a specific branded Supercharger infrastructure started arriving.
RE "whole automation": What do you mean? What point of Tesla is more automated than an Audi or BMW for a UK daily commute? Autopilot simply doesn't work for the vast majority of UK commutes and has been shown to be a poorly operating application with a potential incoming ban.
I think it's important not to rewrite history to fit a narrative.
