Let’s see now. Musk and Tesla strive to cut prices aggressively year over year.
Government’s push their auto manufacturers to raise prices.
Auto companies are OLD entities with problems dating back to before anyone was born at this point.
Tesla tries to give the customer more for money in technology and style; Auto companies focus on profit.
In the EU every auto company is 45-49 percent owned by the National Government.
Greedy politicians are the problem. End their own personal corruption.
EU Energy prices are 4-6 times higher than the USA since NORDSTREAM I & II timeframe.
EU has only themselves to blame for high taxes 30-70 percent on wages, corporations, and taxes on energy paid from whatever was left after taxes for another 80% petro tax.
The Ukraine War Domestic Political Management across the EU to include planned and directed disruption of farming makes prices higher in the EU.
EU are more a Communist-Democracy than the Social-Democracy they were just 3 years ago.
The EU cannot take half of corporate earnings, half to 70 percent of peoples wages, and then expect their overtaxed economy to compete at time that energy costs have risen 4x for NG and 3x diesel and 3x for petro.
Shutting down the last German Nuclear Plant was the kill shot for EU competitiveness.
“EU Energy prices are 4-6 times higher than the USA since NORDSTREAM I & II timeframe.”
Yep, they chose a side in the Ukraine (the Neocon side), and I guess they didn’t factor-in what that meant for their economies, particularly Germany’s.
(but, to be fair, the Neocons would have blown up Germany’s pipelines with or without Germany’s consent, as they all but promised that outcome)
