the Germans have a strange obsession with with cars being "autobahn ready" which means they shun them if they can't do 3 hours at 150mph on a single tank of fuel. Even though no one ever really does that. As a result they largely shunned the TMS and TMX for being not fit for purpose. Of course now they are launching their own luxury EV's which are even less "autobahn ready" than the Teslas it will be interesting to see if they start to relax this standard..........
