    Well, Musk apparently thought it was in his best interest to have their giga factories in the US and China instead of Sweden. Even Volvo and Polestar are making their EVs in China and Belgium, not that Volvo is a Swedish company anymore. Aren’t workers concerned?

      What a stupid argument. The only reason why Volvo hasn’t started making EVs in Sweden is because their Torslanda plant is only set up for SPA-based cars, of which are all currently ICE / PHEV, and of which there are no EVs ready to be put on sale yet.

      Torlslanda is one of several plants that makes the XC60, Volvo’s most popular car globally. It stands to reason that the “EX60” will be made there too.
