It's important to state which part of Europe you're referring to, because sentiments can be quite different from one country to another. I have family in two European countries, one Western and one Eastern, and in both of those societies Teslas are even more prestigious than in the US because the charger infrastructure is not quite as developed - which means that if you have a Tesla, you likely also have an ICE car for longer trips. As you know, having two cars in Europe is quite unusual, so saying I drive a Tesla carries even more significance than in the US.
- ryanlol 5y agoIn Western Europe (at least Spain, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Czechia and even Hungary) Teslas are taxis. In Eastern Europe they are still significantly less cool than similarly priced ICE cars (at least among the segment of people who can actually afford to buy these cars). Teslas aren’t cheap cars, with the same money you could buy a status symbol used Mercedes G- or S-class that looks far more expensive than it actually is. The design of the Model 3 doesn’t really make for much of a status symbol, the more expensive Teslas have either been driven for hundreds of thousands of kilometers or are priced almost in line with a decent S-class.
