Re:Norway to hit 100% electric vehicle sales by early next year by marvin on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @05:00PM (#28778348)
Would be interesting to eventually hear Elon Musk's thoughts on Norway's role in Tesla's success. We were a very big market for them in 2013-2018, one might suspect critical.

With half the Teslas made going to Norway for quite a while, I think indeed it was a key to their success.

Not just the numbers, but also the geography and climate. Make a car that can be used for a long trip any time of the year here, and you're set for most markets.

There's a reason why car makers come to Norway and Sweden to test their new cars before launch.
