'early adopters did what early adopters do'

Mind you, the Dutch gov subsidized the hell out of them. Dutch early 'adopters' driving Teslas were business men who previously drove Jaguar or BMW. Meanwhile fossil drivers were literally taxed to finance Tesla drivers subsidies.

The Dutch gov pulled in Tesla's European assembly 'plant' with 'green incentives' i.e. subsdies and tax exemptions - creating a few hundred jobs.

In total the gov spent 13 B euros on Tesla and its wealthy buyers. The year the gov ended the subsidy schemes Tesla left for Germany. Another nation with a middle- and upper class high on virtue signalling via other people's money.
