Summary

Polish Tourism Minister Sławomir Nitras has called for a Tesla boycott following Elon Musk’s remarks urging Germany to “move past” its Nazi history.

Musk’s comments, made during a far-right AfD campaign event, sparked outrage, particularly in Poland, which lost 6 million people in WWII.

The controversy comes ahead of Germany’s February 23 election and just before Musk’s Tesla earnings call.

As a key advisor to Trump, Musk’s stance could impact Tesla’s market position in Europe, where historical remembrance remains a sensitive issue.

          Why would you drive an electric car in -5F weather? Thats just asking for issues, battery drain alone will cause problems add on the cybertrucks shitty build everything and you are mooning fate.

            Because you need to drive somewhere and your car is electric? Come weather makes me that I got a plug-in hybrid rather than a full electric, though.

              I was moreso referring to the cybertruck, the power drain issue could be worked around with preparation such as a heated garage, a battery heater, or just knowing its limits in such an environment. The cybertruck isnt even particularly good against warm weather let alone sub zero environments.
