Is anyone surprised by this? Europeans still vividly remember, and are reminded, of the cost of WWII. When the head of a company, no matter how trendy, sieg heils on stage (twice!) and then goes on to publicly appear at far-right german political rallies - europeans take note, and act accordingly.

It’s probably more related to the fact that EV subsidies were cut in Germany at the end of last year when the government ran out of money.

You’re only getting a tax discount with BEV, but no purchase discounts financed from taxes.
