There is a lot of resistance against the Model S and EV's in general in Germany. With its big car manufacturers leaning completely on ICE's (despite of the half-hearted attempts from Audi and BMW to develop cars with electric propulsion) the German car industry sees the danger that lies in an EV like the Model S that has hardly any objections anymore: beautiful, superb handling, comfort, long range (and with supercharging indefinite range). So they fight it.
That's why the German chancellor Angela Merkel, despite here lip service to the EV-cause by saying there should be a million EV's on the road in Germany in 2020, doesn't actually do anything to stimulate them. It's the ICE-car lobby that stops her. The German roofs are full of solar panels because this was stimulated by the government. Why? Not just for the environment, but because the German solar industry profits from it. With EV's the German car industry at the moment has nothing to gain, only to lose. And that's why Germany and other car producing countries like Italy are dragging their feet, whereas countries without car industries like Norway and The Netherlands are popularizing the EV.
Wouldn't surprise me if 'Realist' is working for one of the big German carmakers and is just trolling because he realizes what a huge competitor the Model S is for the products of his lazy employer.
