I currently live in Germany, where German cars are very common, but yeah, I was trying NOT to give money to a German car manufacturer already before Ukraine got invaded, because they have immense influence on the local government and are to (co-)blame for the sad delay in adopting EV and government incentives (and when incentives come out, they try to structure them to exclude Tesla as much as possible). Plus the diesel scandals.
I guess I'll wait and see. But wanting an EV, not wanting something as small as a Zoe, or too expensive, and hating SUVs (I know, I know, too many conditions), it's hard to find an alternative. I may have to settle for an ID.3 or a Cupra if Tesla is no longer an option.
For the record, I currently do have a German car - bought it used, 12ish years.
