A group of Tesla owners in Norway have started a hunger strike in protest to draw attention to the brand. Not a few Tesla customers in Norway report problems with their electric cars. From a loose front seat to lights that don’t work properly and even the vehicle won’t start when it’s cold.
Norway is a country that is often used as an example when talking about and analyzing the transition strategies to sustainable mobility that are being carried out. And it is that Norway can boast of being the country with the highest proportion of electric cars per capita in the world. One of the leading car brands in this small but important market is Tesla. However, despite the good sales figures that Tesla achieves in the Norwegian territory, a major setback has arisen.
A Group of Tesla owners in Norway has started a hunger strike. What has triggered this bizarre situation? A long list of problems in Tesla electric cars and the brand’s lack of attention to solve it at once. Some problems that, in many cases, make it impossible to use the vehicle
