Fwiw in Sweden I get a company car and was considering Tesla but this Union issue has meant I no longer trust the level of service I will get long term & probably will get a Polestar instead. It is having some effect because, in my opinion, he is likely to decide to just up and leave one day and I’ll have a non-serviceable car. There’s not many automotive CEOs, if any, where that’s a consideration for me apart from Tesla and it does stem from his Twitter persona & rash decisions/going back on things a lot.
- nvm0n2 3y agoHow does it stem from his persona, and not your countries unions? Unions can break whole industries if they're allowed to, and have done many times in the past. It's not a threat unique to Tesla.
- eddtries 3y agoCan you think of a single time this has happened though? Unions are great in Sweden, totally unlike those in the US. They're basically different organisations entirely. You have three options: 1) government legislates everything tightly, 2) small government & pro-company, 3) small government & pro-employee. Simply put Sweden is 3, 1 is basically off the tables here, and 2 is against the Scandinavian culture.

- eddtries 3y agoWhich is why I used terms like "in my opinion". Data is great but slow and I know my feelings are reciprocated by many others. Give it a year and see if current sentiment affects the stats as this is an ongoing issue while the data is over a year old. Either Tesla folds OR sales drop because you can't service your car. This isn't rocket science, but unless you have sales data for the last month there's not much to really debate with beyond anecdotes.
