I applauded when Scandinavian countries refused to offload Tesla cars from ships at the dock. I wonder what China will do to evict all Tesla cars from their country.
Because of the doors? Or because Elon is a nazi?
Elon didn’t want unions. Scandinavian didn’t want his cars.
Only the cybertruck has the hidden handle right? Those were already not legal to drive in China due to safety regulations.
The Hyundai ioniq for example has hidden handles too, other teslas as well.
