And I saw several Chinese EV dealers (BYD and maybe one or two other companies I believe are Chinese brands). Europe and the UK never imposed the same tariffs the US did (and that was pre Trump) so I’m assuming the cars are competitive there and from what I’ve heard they pack them with plenty of features at lower trims.

Before the Chinese cars start flooding their markets consumers there are likely to head to the VW dealer or other European automakers selling EVs.

This doesn’t even get into Musk’s foray into fascist politics. Hmmm, maybe the countries over there associate Nazis with starting a war killing somewhere between 30 to 40 million people, so what do you know?, they aren’t really big fans of them!
