The history of every german car maker that was around in the 30ies is "nuanced" in that way.



Agreed. But it is history. For example, you'll know that it was the allies who effectively restarted VW as a practical solution after WW2 and who can be credited with its existence.

Tesla is here and now.

I wouldn't buy a VW before/during WW2. I wouldn't buy a Tesla now.

Not making the two equivalent - but who knows where history is going. We're talking about a US government with fascist tendencies, openly flirting with a mafia superpower.


Some American as well.
