In Europe EV adoption is really driven by a concerted effort by individual buyers wanting to make green choices. And Musk has completely alienated all support from that buyer base. I don't see Tesla ever recovering its green credentials, and as a consequence ever recovering its sales or second-hand value.
- the_mitsuhiko 1y ago> In Europe EV adoption is really driven by a concerted effort by individual buyers Is that true? I would have bet that the adoption is driven by company fleet cars and incentives.

- willvarfar 1y agoThe company fleets are a thing of the past in my part of Europe so I didn't have them in mind when I was making my comment. I would speculate that European fleet purchasers in other parts of Europe would be wary of buying Teslas now partly because of the current trade war stuff and also with an eye on the resale value at end of lease; its really hard to shift a second hand Tesla these days.
- tpm 1y ago> In Europe EV adoption is really driven by a concerted effort by individual buyers wanting to make green choices. That would be nice but it is mostly driven by EU-wide fleet emission rules and individual country subsidies/taxes.
