Other manufacturers have been making EVs for a long time. Tesla only had a free run at the US market but every traditional US manufacturer being asleep at the wheel doesn't mean Tesla were going to get that market for free.

It was all predicated on Tesla being able to dictate standards that were enforced by legal mandates in the US. It would give them a huge advantage over European and Japanese competition. That has never materialised and they've been overvalued ever since.

If Russia wants to invite NATO to occupy and rebuild it for 20 years then sure that is a process we can talk about.

All expectation is Russia will be forced to accept the reality of losing the war without anything materially changing in Russia. That doesn't allow for what happened with West Germany.

Nope Russia are a strategic threat to the west and only partial normalisation should ever be on the table. Any material that can be used for military purposes should be barred from sale to Russia on an indeterminate basis.

I have no idea what a Russia we could sell computer chips that could be used in missiles even looks like. I just know this one is not it.

Food, primary resources and medicine. That is pretty much the realistic extent of what future trade relations with post war Russia should look like.
