“My guess is that Tesla will not remain in Sweden without collective arrangement.”
so … Tesla won’t remain in Sweden (lucky Swedes) – we already know Elon would rather shoot his foot than agree to anything that doesn’t benefit him personally and immediately …
At the end of the day, a billionaire’s primary ideology is money. Signing the contract, after failing to defeat the unions, will make him the most money at the end of the day, so I suspect that he will sign it.
Unless he feels like exiting the Swedish, Norwegian and German markets, of course.
while corporate ideology is money, there’s absolutely no thought put into it – immediate profits always trump long term savings – new customers are gold, customer retention is anathema – we’ve already seen multiple companies that would happily block entire countries rather than play nice – and Elon has proven himself far more infantile and narcissistic than anything we’ve seen before
It’s interesting timing, right when Sweden is making a breakthrough with sodium ion battery tech. Especially considering that batteries are the only thing Tesla actually produces, and that other EV companies are investing in Northvolt (the company that’s pursuing sodium ion battery tech).

The primary ideology is not money all the time, though. Musk showed us that with Twitter quite well. His ego can get in the way of his profits.
Also lucky any-other-ev-companh that wants to snap up hoards of trained, skilled workers
Hordes
Unless you’re calling workers possessions, locked in a vault somewhere
I mean, that is sorta how corporations view people.
no, no, don’t get ahead of yourself, the correct word is “resource”
Elon: “Clearly, this is MediaMatters’ fault…”
