    You see, Europeans cannot have the Cybertruck. Americans cannot have the R5. I can live with that, but then, I am European.

      They also won’t sell it in Australia

      Europe’s loss really though, euro cars sell well here but since you refuse to sell us the EV versions, China is already taking over and Euro cars are already on the back foot, I don’t think they’ll ever gain the marketshare they had either.

        I am not Renault. I have no idea why they are not selling it in the US or Australia. It is very well possible that they already have given up Australia against the Chinese. The “Made in Europe” argument certainly has less weight there than in Europe. Like I said, I am not sitting in the strategy meetings of Renault but if I had to guess they are choosing their retreat battles already.

          I choose to believe you are Renault’s corporate personhood! (obviously you’re not)

          Also you’d be surprised how much weight ‘made in europe’ carries still.
