    True. Still gotta deal with Brexit bureaucracy. They can’t just transport things from UK into EU without a ton of permits, fees and paperwork. Then they have to truck through two countries striking against them. Every avenue Tesla tries to get around unions can be shut down with another sympathy strike. Gas station workers can refuse to sell them gas for instance. If they’re electrical vehicles, well, there’s already a strike in place. Unions can outlast Elon.

      Don’t the strikes need to target Tesla?

      Like repair shops could prevent repairs because to get parts they need to interact with Tesla, which they will refuse, but if a Tesla needed gasoline, can a gas shop actually prevent a customer from filling their tank?

      The strike isn’t against the customer, so I’m not sure that’d be allowed?

          So you’re saying gas stations refusing to fuel trucks transporting a Tesla? If those trucks are a 3rd party company would that be okay? Can they sympathy strike against a different entity?

          100% agree if they are teala employees operating the trucks.

          This whole thing and all the side implications are fascinating to watch unfold
