Americans talk in hyperbole. Average is an insult. Any experience less than life changing is boring.

And most people in other countries are not aware.

I see how much money goes to American companies like Tesla meanwhile European companies like Mercedes-Benz get less investment and no media attention at all, even when they outperform their American counterparts.

We live in the age of the attention economy. I hope that advertising on the web is forbidden and we go back to good products over flashy newspaper press releases. Less memes more information.

That's not really because of American vs European, it's because traditional automaker vs EV disruptor. Tesla has a bigger market cap than all of the "big 3" US automakers combined.
