    just grow a pair and ban twitter, spacex, starlink, and tesla from operating in europe already.

    there’s no good reason to let them operate.

      They’re mostly all national security threats, especially with Elon and Putin having a special relationship.

      Tesla is getting a buttload of cash from the EU soon in climate compensation (also Volvo but not so much).

          Have you never been to small and poor /s countries like Germany where this sometimes is the best option for getting internet access? /srs

                I think it was the statement that Germany is a “small and poor country” that they were whaaaating about.

                  They used that as sarcasm to highlight that Germany has no excuse for having shit infrastructure due to their wealth and economy size, unlike other countries.

                    Thanks, at least someone got it. We are the third biggest economy on this planet and still have the shittiest internet connection a developed country can possibly have, and all of that is only because one corrupt politician said (as in “was paid to say”) that Television is the technology of the future. It’s getting better, but holy fuck, how could this happen.

      ok so people who already have teslas should be fucked? if they will be forced to stop operation, some service offerings will not be available. nice

      a car isnt a political statement for everybody, for some people its a fucking tool

      edit: modifying software of cars in general is highly regulated. so banning tesla would create issues for people having those cars, i would love to “homebrew” them but hey, thats fucking illegal

        As you said, they are services. They are not required.

        edit: modifying software of cars in general is highly regulated. so banning tesla would create issues for people having those cars, i would love to “homebrew” them but hey, thats fucking illegal

        How is it even related to services?
