Before the 'muuuh bro but coal mines' crowd stampedes in:

Disused open-pit mines typically get flooded and re-used as leisure areas or nature reserves.

People experience lowered quality of life when living near or underneath wind turbines as the very low hum and blade shadow washing over houses affects your health.

Solar parks are the ugliest and don't tell me just because you read something that each and every one can be turned into an orchard underneath.

Besides the obvious environmental impact of having to produce solar cells and composite turbine blades.

This is a good one :)
Oh, so because of their high efficency they consistently cheat on their customers?

Their EPA ranges were found to be overstated across models, then there was that recent thing with falsified dashboard data.

I wouldn't say Tesla has advantages in any field, quite the opposite and mostly because of the Elon factor, which basically is just another synonym for NIH.

Uh hu big thing. Hint: if you want to live in a different country, you should at least try to somewhat adapt the official language spoken, and also somewhat have a sweet spot for its culture. Otherwise, you are mostly just coming for economic reasons, and countries don't need that.

As someone else complained beforehand: the public health system is already strained, the influx of illegals, refugees and other immigrants didn't help the situation - what where people expecting?

Same as for Tesla then. One of Elons' many labels is being a "subsidy truffle hound".
Because there is still the myth that Tesla has a secret sauce in their battery chemistry, and edge, and is not just using Pana, CATL and perhaps other vendor's cells?
