Why would that be an issue? The rights of workers trump the public's appetite for a particular brand of car. Furthermore, consumers have many rights in the EU as well, I would expect such behavior to be unfeasible.

Tesla has a market lead but not technological supremacy and it is arrogant to assume they'll maintain it in perpetuity. They're squandering it now in real-time with the cybertruck.

The only 'right' the workers should have to get a different job if they don't like the terms of their current one.

It is bizarre that you don't think safe workplaces are a right. The life situation that leads to this view is equally fascinating and concerning.

Wild to see such unironic bootlicking. What, you want to advocate for slavery next?

I have a feeling a lot of people are okay with slavery. They are going to try to weasel themselves out of this question, denying it, though.

That is basically what the whole gig economy is all about, surviving from check to check, without any kind of state support, and forced to become homeless when not able to pay debt.

Hey, kids! Can you say "precariat" ?

That's it. I knew you could.

So if you're not happy with your underpaid and probably dangerous job you can get another one just like it?

Thankfully we are socialists over here.

That’s kind of weird because it incentivizes collusion among employers for worsening workplaces. For example if sexual harassment was ubiquitous there’s nowhere for victims to go.

Well, they are not invincible but only possible alternative are Chinese cars. That are a no-no in EU because of they are allowed, entire EU auto industry immediately goes bust with much much bigger labor and economic consequences.

... I think you may be a little confused (or maybe assuming that the European market is like the US one, where Tesla really is very dominant).

Last month, the best-selling electric car in Sweden appears to have been a BYD (Chinese) one. Year to date, the single best-selling electric car was a Tesla Y, but VW Group was the biggest manufacturer overall, with BMW and Hyundai (Korean) also sizeable.

What? They're already here. I don't see too many around yet but they're definitely on sale.

There are a lot of european car makers selling EVs nowadays. The fact you don't know about them is just ignorance.

Um, no? You seem very opinionaded for someone with seemingly little insight.

What are you talking about? Only possible alternative is Chinese? Sure, Teslas are cheap and more similar to cheap Chinese brands like Polestar, but there is a ton of options.

Jaguars, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, VW and a bunch of others are popular and european.
