The VWs will be mass adopted in Europe when production ramps up and protectionist policies which punish Tesla will be implemented when VW is threatened. It's business as usual in Europe. That's why I use VW as an example. It's what Europeans will drive when they go hard on electric. When it comes to cars VW is "Europe, Inc." and resistance is futile. I jest.

Many European megacorporations also offer electric cars as a job perk because personal car ownership is heavily taxed in many countries. The megacorps will choose home market manufacturers run by their friends preferentially.
