It was a record day for Tesla supercharging on November 30th,

a new record delivering 12 gigawatt hours of energy in a single day across North America,

That's the collaboration between Stalantus and Leap motor.

They're bringing that vehicle over to Europe and selling it from Stalantus dealerships.

In fact, only two daytime shift, no nighttime shift.

And if they moved, I presume that would be a cost-saving thing between Germany and Poland.
