For me preventing climate change is pretty non-negotiable. I’m rather a fan of having a liveable planet, and as some that lives in London, I’m acutely aware of what sea level rise will do to my home.

In this specific case a small foreign company (and Tesla is tiny compared to the likes of VW) gets a leg up. I don’t think it have much impact of EU automotive industry in the long run.

Tesla's German plant will be a part of the EU automotive industry, right?

Absolutely true. Although I’m assuming some people will take offence to the idea of it being run by an American owned company.

Or don't, because that's entirely irrelevant

In 2018 Tesla made 87,000 vehicles, VW made 10.5 million.
