From an american billionaire to a chinese billionaire. Glory to Europe, never doing anything well themselves.

    I don't know about Europe-wide, but in Germany usually 8 of the top 10 brands (including the top 4) are European. Ford and Hyundai/Kia are the other 2.

    EDIT: sales data specifically about EVs

    Toyotas are great cars, but they have been dragging their heels with their EV models.

    I've test driven some of those you listed and no, they're not better.

    Fuck off mate.

    My Mercedes is leaps and bounds better than a Tesla in quality control, attention to detail, comfort, and support / aftercare.

    Starting to think you’re Elon at this point.
