Tesla is making its move on Europe, have to imagine it will be the most popular car there pretty soon with all the extra benefits there.

Benefits I was just going to ask about until I saw:

Norway has proved itself one of the best countries in the world in which to run an electric car, a combination of exemption from sales tax, parking fees, road tax fees and more adding up to huge savings compared to conventional cars. Throw in short commute times making even low-range electric cars relatively suitable, abundant public charging, and it isn't hard to see why Tesla has chosen the country for its first European Supercharger network.

I imagine the car sells itself at that point.

Or clever Europeans...

(By the way, all Norwegians are European, not all Europeans are Norwegian. These tax rules are unique to Norway)

A car that goes for $100K in the U.S. would run around $300K in Norway if it were a normal ICE car. With the Tesla S, it goes for $100K in Norway too. So, you can get a luxury car for around 1/3 the cost of a comparable ICE car. That is why they are loved by the rich in Norway.

Norway's first el-taxi.

Norway's first el-taxi.

Is this that guy that bought a fleet?

No. Just a taxi driver that upgraded from a Leaf to a MS.
