Yes, of course a product that is less available, more expensive and has potentially more hurdles to obtain will be bought less, but that's not what I meant and these things are specific to sweden and don't necessarily apply to the rest of Europe.

Tesla being a company with shitty morals and being owned by an asshole is nothing that influences buyers' decisions enough large. Look at other brands that build their cars with forced labor in china. Are people buying fewer of those cars?

Plenty of the Chinese EV brands strike a better balance between affordability and reliability than Tesla, so honestly you'd be dumb to buy the latter.

Well no, but we also don't visibly see the suffering that goes into the making of products. People are still buying chocolate, bananas, and fast fashion. Besides it's not like Tesla cars are made without suffering, so it's all the same shit, really.
