You're just rewriting history to push a US-centric point of view. Zoe started selling in 2012, a bit after the model S. Despite a lacking charging infrastructure, it lead the EV segment in europe for years, including hybrids in 2016 and 2020. It is one of the most sold EV in Europe still (production ended recently), and the most sold in France.
I don't care what signal you want to send, i don't care if you were lied to or you are conscious you're doing it. Stop.
It's like the "We invented the first mouse" used by Apple stans to prop up their favorite brand against Microsoft: nice for the brand war argument (no one cares, really), but now most people actually believe that and it's almost a truth. If you are USian, well, maybe improving your country political discourse start with improving your own discourse on social media, and if you're not: why are you pushing a foreign country narrative?
- pvaldes 3y agoZoe was not the first electric Renault. Do you remember that 2010 monstrosity the Twizy?. The early history of EV in European carmakers are plenty of WTF were they thinking?. Have you seen the Citroen Ami?. Later the brands gradually changed its mind, in part by the Renault success but mostly for Tesla. We could say many things about Tesla but at least they tried to build cars and not toasters from the start.
