Teslas are everywhere here. Considered a status symbol… <facepalm>
Every time I mention “Buy EU” to people, family, and friends, they look at me like I’m an alien.
Yeah, I’ve lived in a couple of countries in Europe and my fellow countrymen are the least socially aware of all and easily 30 - 40 years behind Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
I moved back to Portugal some years ago, after 2 decades abroad, and in several things (mobility, environmental awareness, social values) it was like going back in time.
Things are especially bad in everything to do with cars, with people still having the same mindset as back in the 80s, even young people.
Portugal is always behind 10 to 30 years. Give it some time and we might see some fires /s

But even Eastern Europe got the note this time, I don’t know where to put Portugal on the map now at all.
The relationship of the average Portuguese with cars is still just as weirdly fucked up as it was 40 years ago.
