       | there are many electric vehicles in europe: bmw, seat, vw,
       | hyundai, audi, porsche, nissan. these probably sell better than
       | in the US because they don't have the best range but that's OK
       | for some EU countries.
       | 
       | also, some countries have good charging infra (non tesla), so
       | you're not forced to buy tesla for the infra.

       | It's also a terrible title. China is the biggest market globally
       | but Volkswagen has the biggest marketshare in Europe.

       | Tesla vehicles are simply too big. Family sizes, people, cars,
       | roads, parking spots, houses, garages are all smaller here.

       | Performance is basically pointless if you're driving in a
       | European city where you'll rarely exceed 60km/h.
