Tesla
A subreddit for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles.
For about a month there has been a strike going on in Sweden because Tesla won't sign the collective contrac with the metall-union. In Sweden the right to unionize is protected by constitutional law and this applies to workers nationwide so other companies workers can join the strike to sympathize with the Tesla workers.
This is so exciting to me. Last time this happened in Sweden I think it was with toys R us in the 80's. I beileve the unions will win and either get Tesla to sign or leave. What do you think?

We are leaning towards buying a Tesla. We live in an apartment however. Our complex doesn’t have ev charging. The closest super charger is about 14 miles away. Anyone else in this same situation. How’s life without your own ev charging station?

They claim "illegal discrimination" (in Sweden, you can only be discriminated against for 7 reasons: your ethnicity/race, your gender, gender identity (non-cis), your sexuality, your religion, your age, your ability, i.e those who are non-able bodied) so to use the word discrimination here is wildly absurd as this has clearly nothing to do with this.
Basically they're sueing the government about the license plates.
Swedish Transport Administration will only send new license plates via PostNord, which is similar to UPS. PostNord won't deliver anything that's being sent to Tesla, as a sympathy measure for the strike. The reason for this particular portal service is due to an agreement (basically they get a discount for using only them, and now it's a signed agreement)
Tesla want to be able to personally pick up any items themselves instead, i.e not have things mailed to them at all, they prefer sending workers to drive across the country to pick stuff up.
The Swedish law is regulated that you get your licence plate sent. I don't see how the Swedish government is doing anything wrong by sending them using the most well established and well known postal service in the Nordics, just because they happen to have a strike towards Tesla. That's Tesla's fault, not the Swedish government. The Swedish government has done absolutely nothing here to cause this by signing with PostNord as an exclusive service, and it was clearly never an intention to do it in order to harm Tesla. That deal was signed years ago. Tesla are expressing themselves narcissistic and petty.

I'm flagging this as rumor as it is my personal opinion, which I'd like to discuss.
Reading the latest news from Sweden, in which Tesla is suing the official Swedish transport agency (Swedish DMV), I'm starting to realize that Tesla (Elon) is going down a path that they cannot win and it will hurt Tesla’s brand image long term.
Tesla is going full confrontation in Sweden, where Tesla autoshop workers are striking to unionize, which is the status quo in the Nordic countries.Tesla doesn't even have production facilities in Sweden, I don't understand why they had to play hard ball there.
This is going to snowball and it will hurt Tesla long term. My personal impression on Tesla and Elon has already decreased as a result of the radical stance against unions. I do admire what Elon has built, but that he can't seem to understand how things work in Europe is beyond me. Unions in Europe are a positive thing, who protect workers rights and wellbeing. They are an important part of a social economy, like most European countries are.
Below a quote from an article to give a quick overview of what's going on:
"Tesla doesn’t manufacture cars in Sweden, but it does operate workshops to service its cars. The dispute began when a group of 130 disgruntled mechanics had their request for a collective bargaining agreement rejected. As is customary in Sweden, unions in other sectors came out in solidarity. Dockworkers, mail and delivery workers, cleaners and car painters have so far all agreed to refuse to work with Tesla products. Stockholm’s largest taxi company has also stopped buying new Tesla cars for its fleet. Their fight against Tesla’s anti-union business model could now spread to Germany, where Tesla runs factories and has a significantly larger workforce. The powerful German union IG Metall has said that it is ready to launch collective bargaining negotiations if the workers demand it." Source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/nov/21/tesla-sweden-unions-us-strikes-blockade-carmaker
The fight in Sweden has now escalated so far that everyone in Europe has heard about it. Especially the IG Metall in Germany won't let this go. They already were able to get many new Tesla workers as members in recent months. Tesla felt so threatened by this that they increased all wages at Giga Berlin. (See articles linked below). I can guarantee you that in the long term Giga Berlin will be fully unionized. This will snowball to the US, where unions are already eyeballing Tesla factories. (See more articles linked below).
If Tesla/Elon is not going to put this fight to rest very soon, Tesla will take a major hit to their brand image in Europe. As pointed out in the beginning of my post, Unions are a positive thing in Europe and nobody appreciates someone taking workers rights away. Other unions will support the efforts in Sweden and it will become daily news. Currently a Tesla is a status symbol, which people are proud to drive. This can turn around really fast, especially with the OEM manufacturers putting out full EVs as well. Tesla is already under pressure, as the recent drastic price drop showed. The repositioning was not done out of the goodness of Elon's heart. It had a reason, and I don't believe it's purely economies of scale. Tesla started to be under pressure from competition and wanted to solidify their market position.
