So you think your taxes are high?

[CrazyOldMan]

If you buy a new IG in France, the environmental tax is an additional €40,000.

Sounds high, maybe not.

In Denmark you would pay 160% of the vehicle's value.
Singapore, as well as the circa €100k for a 10 year vehicle permit, the tax is 320% of the vehicle value.

Just flying back from Singapore right now - my driver was talking to me about the Grenadier. They’re not selling in Singapore, are they? I laugh just thinking about trying to get it into a parking garage in Singapore.

Far less taxes on cheap Chinese EV imports to the same counties... I wonder what sort of kickbacks these governing parties get through China...

This information is stunning. These taxes are confiscatory.

The US is also insane. At 37%, you are not a “freeman”. You are simply serving the plantation.

Nice! Only six posts in and you’ve already managed to reverse Godwin this thread.

Sorry to ruffle your feathers. I wouldn't be surprised if you are working on having me banned for 'spread of misinformation'..

I still don't have an answer to my question, what did the OP want to tell us?

However, to be honest, there is no real need for an answer: It's easy to just consider this thread as non-existent.

It could even be closed without any loss. imho.

I posted in the General Chat section of the forum, so yes, it could be removed without consequence.

I thought it might be interesting to some. It also might help the USA tourists understand why Europeans "all drive small cars", something I have regularly heard tourists say.

I have just one important thing to say, @landmannnn. USA! That’s why. Now I need to go water my plants with Gatorade.

There is no NEED to drive regardless of one's location.

I am 20 minutes away from the nearest service station.
Only way I can think of to get there is driving.
Too far to walk with 90 litres of diesel.

So why did you repost the second time now

No chance in Singapore.
I drove a Fiat Panda through Italy and had enough trouble with that in some places.

You’ll be pleased to know - I was coming back from Singapore last night and was sitting next to a dairy farmer flying from Melbourne, coming to Madison for the World Dairy Expo - think I sold him on the QM.
