Teslas are objectively last Gen. The only reason they still sell well in the US and some other markets is tariffs.

If it's not US soil, it's not a detention, it's a rendition, a kidnapping.
Also, I don't know how citizenship works I this respect in the US, but in my country a citizen cannot be denied entry. It can be detained upon entering, but by then you are in sovereign soil.
They are not all "smaller" brands. BYD SAIC CHERY etc are fucking giants.
I drive a 27 year old TDI Skoda that gets 4-5 l/100km. on the road.
It's the norm in Europe, and it makes absolute sense. Milk quality can vary wildly, so brands provide a way to identify a certain set of qualities.
It does exist. People used it to buy overvalued stock and people who knew how this was going to go got their money. The money is real, it just changed hands.
That is not a bubble, it's a shortage caused by a bubble.
A alternative that works well for me for many things is buying from Lidl. They source from China, or wherever, but through European importers. They have a three year warranty, parts or replacement at least for that period, their branded products meet EU safety standards, and are good value. Not everything is perfect, but I'd say that about 80-90 % of what I buy meets or exceeds my expectations. Selection is orders of magnitude lower than Amazon, Aliexpress, etc, but their online catalog is growing fast.
Tools in particular are great value, they have a great battery ecosystem for their power tools, and even have a prosumer line (parkside performance, the black ones), that are impressively close to pro stuff from DeWalt, Makita, etc...)
The article is clanker slop. It's mostly reiterative, a clear sign of clanker slop. Clankers are reiterative in their slop. A lot of clanker slop is reiterative.
They don't recognize bills. They recognize a pattern of tiny yellow rings in the bills, the Eurion constellation, which can barely be seen by the eye. This supposedly will stop copiers and printers from scanning or printing any document that has these.
Bypassing these is trivial.
It can be, but is a hassle. There are food safe filaments, there are filaments that "should be" safe, like unmodified PETG, but the issue is to make all parts that are in contact with the filament food safe; extruder gears, Bowden tubes and other guides, hot ends, etc...
I imagine that it would be a hassle for parts suppliers to certify the bajillion variations of these parts as food safe.
