I am from Europe.

Well, your trains are terrible. Our have a cruise speed > 300 km/h.

So am I.

If you check the second map from my previous comment it's of Europe from 2011 [0].

There were 5 >300 km/h trains, and 4 of those are in France.

But I think the market they're aiming at is more US - it's more sparse than Europe and more normal to travel long distances.

Nevertheless if someone was rich enough to own one and based themselves in Switzerland - with a range of 1000km you can get as far as Madrid, Malmo, any where in Italy and nearly Greece. With 2000km (which it is capable of) you can go anywhere in Europe in one go - no changing trains.
