    So 6% of Germans would buy a Tesla, Ford only has a 5% market share in Germany so I feel like 6% is still a lot Germans to have an interest in buying a car from a minor American auto company …

      That’s not how that works, according to the article: The question is about “would take into consideration”, not “having an interest”.

      And according to the article the figures are true for Tesla owners as well - and that is a very impressive result in my opinion to have basically zero brand lately.

      (Something no one should have in my personal opinion, but Germans really stick to what they know, that’s why it’s so impressive to me)

        But that’s the thing: Tesla was the only option, especially for early adopters. Nowadays there are many more options, including most German car manufacturers (finally), so people can again “stick to what they know”.
