Electric cars may be the wrong route to take when you look at the underlying potential problems they have.
Main reason we want to go non-fossil fuel route is to save the planet and get a zero carbon footprint. But the electricity used in fully electric cars are predominantly produced by power stations that burn fossil fuels. So how is it going to help the planet?
When an electric car is caught in a traffic jam especially in cold wintery weather on a motorway, it becomes a deadweight as it quickly uses it’s energy reserves for heating and you can not bring fuel in a petrol canister to it like petrol powered cars, causing blocked roads for miles. A good deal of US drivers had the experience last year in winter when the owners of Teslas abandoned their cars on highways. They had to be towed away.
Although Tesla says a 75% charge will last 11 hours in idling, what if you are caught with less charge or you had to stay over 12 even 24 hours on the motorway like a lot of people found they had to last year on UK’s M62 motorway?
Hybrid cars are understandable as they help the environment and use less fuel. But the future is hydrogen cell powered cars. We will see how the future of electric car saga will unfold. With many developed countries choosing to go all electric within a couple of decades, may prove to be the wrong decision.
Tesla is planning to enter Turkiye. Would be nice with a Giga Factory as well.
This is not good.

Tesla is direct competitor of TOGG
Competition is good, however I don't believe most people can afford these cars anyway.This is not good.

I heard similar news about Morocco. So if the link you sent is trusthworthy then Tesla will open a Gigafactory in either Morocco, or Turkey.

Do you know who doesn't have competition? MKEK.This is not good.

Luckily I wasn‘t. But I misssed it by less than 20 minutes on M62 few years back when I was driving back to London. Behind me , motorists were stranded for over 24 hours on the motorway. Emergency services supplied fuel and hot beverages to the stranded motorists. It does happen there almost once every couple of years. Last year almost all of England’s main motorway and dual carriageway arteries were blocked and cars were abandoned on the roads causing havoc.When was the last time that you were stuck in traffic for 12 hours? Thats a very extreme and rare case you're talking about. I was in traffic for 6hours this year in my EV while driving to Italy and hardly lost any battery.
TOGG shouldn't be afraid of competition. A Tesla GIGA Factory would bring new revolutionizing production technology to Turkiye which would benefit TOGG in the long-term.

There will be 20 million EVs produced in 2025(Bloomberg Est.). On the other hand, TOGG's production target is 100k vehicles. That is 0.5% of all EV production.It is not about Competition.
It is not about Benefits for TOGG.
I am sorry but you missing the problem here.
World Automotive giants SAW that Turkiye released TOGG product. They understand that This automotive corporations TOGG WILL HAVE THE POWER to change "PIE" of what % of money is going to which Automotive company.
BMW already reacted that they will try to HIT Turkiye market which will make TOGG product hard to sell.
Now Tesla is also make his own move to do the Same Attack.
Strategy is to confine TOGG in boarder of Turkiye. If this fail and TOGG able to establish in other countries abroad then -> Automotive giants monopoly will have BIG losses in revenue and real big PROBLEMS.
Competition is good for innovation.This is not good.

It's important to keep the scale of things in perspective.
Yes it is. But nothing else!Competition is good for innovation.
As said before TOGG already has an edge over others with tax reduction and tariffs, protecting them even more will inevitably lead to the fact that they dont need to care about product quality.Yes it is. But nothing else!
There are Strategy actions made from TOGG which directly threatening Automotive monopolists this is the Main point here
