Manufacturers with decent cars like Tesla, Kia, Hyundai and Polestar say EVs are taking off. Those with over-priced and under-powered cars like Ford, GM, VW, Audi, Mazda, etc say EVs are not taking off. Hmmm wonder what the differentiating factor could be?

Looks like the Swedish courts overturned the collusion between the government and the unions: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-sues-sweden-over-blocked-license-plates-business-daily-di-reports-2023-11-27/

The courts have ordered the Swedish governments to hand over the license plates to Tesla.

Um an awful lot of us in Europe really don’t like unions. In France they are a PITA. A lot of workers are cheering on Tesla here. Sweden is one of those rare countries where the government will collude with unions to destroy a private company. Many other EU countries there is more of an acrimonious relationship between government and unions.

Well there is a press release with scam written all over it. It has red flags everywhere.
