Of course Teslas are taxed in the EU. Like any other car, even the ones manufactured in Europe. Or European cars in the US. I'm not sure what you are getting at.

"Presently, the EU imposes import taxes of about 10% on cars entering from the United States. This additional tax, which comes on top of the VAT that car buyers have to pay when purchasing a vehicle, has become an unnecessary handicap for companies like Tesla, whose cars become more expensive compared to local offerings."

The tariffs. Yes, indeed. A response to the US 25% tariffs on European light trucks. The Chicken Tax :)
