I do not have any horse in this race, but it’s quite surprising for me that USA is jumping in and Europe and China are not championing the operations for the security in the Red See even having more vested interests on the transportation.

I don't own a Tesla, but I have a relevant anecdote related to your post. I rented a Model 3 in Switzerland and while the car was drivable, I felt that the interior was cheaply made, giving the impression that I was driving a toy car.
