Because stupid isn’t only constrained to the US.

Not really, no. Teslas, yes - cybertrucks, no

AFAIK there’s like one Cybertruck in all of Norway, and it got snuck in through some loophole because it doesn’t meet vehicle standards.
Model Y is selling like hot cakes, though. Most likely because they’re getting cheaper due to nobody else wanting to buy them.

All VW, Kia, etc have to do to beat Tesla is not be enshitification obsessed piles of shit and they just fucking can’t… it’s frustrating.

What’s enshittified about them? I tried an ID.4 for a few days recently and it was quite nice. I also had a ride in a Model 3 and the oversized screen hit me in the knee. Also I don’t think the VW has overhyped self driving which tries to kill you, like Tesla does. So at first glance I’m leaning towards the VW if I was to buy a car right now. What did I miss?

Yeah that reads bad in retrospect, not trying to call Kia out explicitly, just broadly stating that car companies in general need to take a step back and look at WHY Tesla was so popular. The whole thing boils down to a counterculture movement against cat culturep. It’s the ultimate “my car is a tool / function over form” vehicle for commuters. It’s why the Y outsold the Camry. Hell, I’m shopping around FOR a Kia at the moment 😆, probably why their name was top of my head.
