  1. Would this not just make the situation worse? With Zuckerberg arguing to Trump that the EU is evil to American companies, this would be the evidence

  2. While I appreciate and support the tendency to push back to Elon and Trump trying to export American oligarchism to Europe, we must keep our powder dry until there’s a real need to implement tariffs.

    If we shoot our powder now, we’ll have no leverage when the trade war inevitably begins.

  3. Why tariffs on Tesla? Is it just because you don’t like Elon?

  4. Feel free not to buy a Tesla if you choose, but I would rather not have a trade war with the USA.

  5. Is this anything to do with tariffs or Tesla at all? Looks like it’s more a protest regarding Elon Musk himself – regarding his perceived meddling in EU politics, supporting right-wing politics and using his wealth and social media platform to spread disharmony and negative information about the EU.
    I don’t know if the perception is correct, but I think that is what the protest is about

  6. I believe I’m quite left but this is not really helping anyone. Tesla objectively makes good electric cars and people still want them.. and we need to support that so that we move faster to electric cars in general, regardless by who or where it was built. Leave your tariffs and quarrels with musk to fight another battle… This one is only out of spite and actually doesn’t help. Sure taking down musk would be fun, but this won’t really make a dent and instead goes straight up against the idea to make an energy transition.

  7. What are you protesting about?

    Tesla Model 3 is made in china and will have tariffs (it’s also made in the US so they’ll probably import those and avoid tarifs), Tesla Model Y is made in Germany, Model X and S are irrelevant now but still made in US.

    So what’s the subject?

  8. You’re about to lose this “Europe” sooner than you don’t think.

  9. Who are those 15 people on the photo? Redditors from r/europe?

  10. Put tariffs on Tesla, the US will put tariffs on your cars and provide advantage to cars manufactured in the US.

  11. you know that we, the European citizens will pay those Tariffs, right?

  12. The heart is in the right place, but this shows poor understanding of entry-level economics.

  13. That’s a bad Idea because Tesla are the biggest export of electric cars. If you try to stop Tesla trading in Europe then you shoot yourself in the foot because then it would be more difficult to leverage electric vehicles in Europe

  14. Can a national impose tariffs on a specific company? There is a certain president elect that I think would be delighted if this was the case.

  15. You dumb nitwits. There’s a giant factory in Berlin employing a ton of people, in the world’s most eco-friendly car factory, building basically the world’s most popular cars.

    Elon may be a nitwit, but I hate these senseless virtue-signalling dipshits.

  16. Yes put tariffs on Tesla cars which are made in Germany ….

  17. Sooo. in 2012, why didn’t a European company build thousands of supercharging stations, build the first long-range EV, continue to improve EV’s and lower prices to accelerate the transition to a carbon free infrastructure ?

    It would be interesting to see where we would be today without Tesla.

    One thing for sure: No European car company was interested in any change at all. Yes there was a couple low-range cars that nodoby bought.

  18. Everyone should know that OP is a 1 year old account with almost 400,000 post karma. That is proof that it’s not a real person, but some party trying to manufacture outrage and destabilise online conversations.

  19. If you guys want to Jerk Elon’s leash you should just freeze his DB credit lines.

  20. Okay but the tariffs could be zero since there is a tesla Gigafactory in Germany and doesn’t really need imports from anywhere outside of Europe.

    As far as I know, they make the Y’s there but they easily could make the S
