Swedish Tesla strike goes international as Norwegian and Danish unions join in

Re: Also Finland

hmmm the statistics are crazy,

Only 23 fires were reported in electric vehicles in 2022 making up just 0.004% of Sweden’s fleet of 611,000 EVs.

In contrast, over the same period, some 3,400 fires we reported in 2022 from Sweden’s 4.4 million petrol and diesel cars representing 0.08% of the fossil car fleet.

20 times less likely 0_o

As well as 393 verified fires worldwide, the EV Firesafe database includes 74 incidents that are being investigated and 21 that have not been verified.

A 2020 Tesla internal report (not verified independently) suggested there was one Tesla fire for every 205 million miles (330 million kilometres) travelled. The Tesla report notes National Fire Protection Association data for the United States showed a much higher rate of one fire for every 19 million miles (30.6 million kilometres).

Re: The Musk simps are out in force on this one.

I think they do, a downvote isn't a expression of not wanting free speach it's a expression of disagreement, Europeans are very sensitive to free speach and want it suppressed cause they can't handle Good ideas in a open honest and sometimes fiery debait, which is why there isn't a single european social media company worth anything

Re: Explanation.

Germany won't be a industrialized economy in 15 years time, so it'll be interesting how they cope with new reality when that happens

Re: Who is being reasonable in the conflict?

Ultimatly, IF the demand for thier cars exceed demand then they can exclude sweden from thier distribution until the demand lowers, this would maximize margins If demand would allow it.

If demand is low and they need the swedish market but they don't want the Destructive nature that unions have on innovation and rapid development then doing as much work out of sweden on thier cars as possible might be the ticket, problem is the it's a island, but population wise might not be worth it.

Re: I'm actually on Musk's side on this

I see your Boyz don't wanna pay thier union dues, be a shame if your cars didn't make it to port now wouldn't it...
