Also, this made me cringe.

> In 2020, the central government will give as much as 6,000 euros toward the purchase of an electric car costing less than 45,000 euros.

This looks like an anti-Tesla threshold, all the while pushing people to go towards electric cars that either you buy but rent the battery, such as Renault Zoé, or with poor autonomy.




I would guess a lot of people don't like the idea of subsidising luxury cars for wealthy people. I can understand that.

Besides, aren't Model 3 and the coming Cybertruck below that limit?


In France base Model 3 is 43600. Any option / road ready fees will curiously drive you just past the threshold.


Made in China + whatever Cybertruck is having M3 could go below $25k USD - perhaps 30k euro if you add duties, etc.


The Cybertruck doesn't make sense in EU. It just won't fit into the cities. :D
