1. Political

Tesla Motor Inc. is the only electric car maker that sells directly to clients. While several states in the United States does not allow you to buy a car on the internet. The Netherlands have a more liberal approach and is in line with green energy revolution. The Netherlands are charging extra tax on fully electric cars and hybrid cars. "Fully electric cars-the so-called zero emission cars- will remain subject to the low 4% additional tax liability for lease cars, junior finance minister Eric Wiebes announced last week."(DutchNews 2015) The Netherlands government plans to capitalize off future plans to ban petroleum and diesel cars by 2025 as stated in the DutchNews.nl.

Tesla Motor Inc. decision to open its Tilburg Assembly Plant has a bright future ahead of it with the backing of the Dutch parliament. "The Dutch parliament has taken the first step in banning petrol and diesel cars from sale in the Netherlands from 2025."(DutchNews 2014) Even with the support of the Dutch parliament there was strong opposition from the VVD (People's Party for Freedom and Democracy), they passed the motion and now the cabinet must come up with a plan of action. The leader of the parliamentary VVD party Halbe Zijlstra believe the potential car ban unrealistic. These was an unexpected turn of events that Tesla Motor Inc. could only dream of. The Dutch government stance on promoting green energy is in line with Tesla goal to accelerate the world transition to electric mobility.
