  "won" was past tense. Norway had so many Tesla's when my son visited there due to subsidies and green consciousness. The Tesla Y model was leading the EV sales in the EU as of recently, but I don't have the latest data. People typically do not compare the opposing tariffs, only the US. Europe charges 10% on top of the 10% imposed on all cars imported to the EU. The US charges only 2% on EU car imports, higher for light trucks. I believe in a free market, but also leveling the playing field, so hopefully we will raise the tariffs equally on EU car imports. And your 100% import on EV figure is only for China if I recall correctly, not from the EU. It is to counter Chinese unfair trade practices. I am curious about the BYD EVs from China though, and I would like to test drive one, especially after being in and driving my son's Tesla to compare them. I'd still get a Tesla, since more than 50% of the parts are sourced in NA and assembly (Fremont, CA, and Austin, TX) for the main models for sale here in the US (batteries from Nevada's Gigafactory).
