Now Germany speaks for the rest of the EU countries?

Yes and no. If a car is approved in one EU country, it’s approved in all. If a car is denied in one EU country, it is denied in all.

So Germany could very much block the Tesla Model 3 from EU roads.

Huh? How does that work? What happens if Germany denies the Model 3, but France approves it? The EU collapses?

Merkel's enforcers have a stern word with the French administration, who will then cave in. As always.

We like to call them "the provinces".
