    Well I don’t know/care, I’m not really interested in cars (and I for one wouldn’t buy a Tesla due to Elon Musk’s assholery alone). But my friends are, and after thoroughly evaluating the options available here in France they went with Tesla, and they don’t seem to regret it.

      That’s dumb? You can get BMWs or Mercedes Benzes in Europe pretty easily if you want a luxury car. For BMW, you can get an electric i3 for pretty cheap ($15K in the US) or an i4 if you want a newer electric car.

      Tesla is firing people for a reason. They are selling fewer cars because the competition is better.

        i3 is too small, i4 is too expensive to get the eco bonus so it’s much more expensive than the model 3.

        But OK I get it, you hate Tesla and you’re an expert in the French car market, I’ll be sure to let them know.

          But Tesla is priced like a luxury car? My point is, you can get everything you want better with other manufacturers. Unless you mainly want to suck off Elon.
