TBF if they are European then the car centricness may itself be the tourist attraction.

Similar to visiting less developed countries to witness how much worse you could have it.

The Tragedy of the the Commons is a stupid theoretical exercise that only happens under highly unrealistic scenarios. Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize in Economics for her research which provided clear empirical evidence that common shared resources could be sustainably managed, provided that the all stakeholders involved are given input in how resources are developed and shared. In particular, her research cautions against any one size fits all approach, and instead advocates for ground up, grass roots approaches.

Her study of and subsequent evidence that use and sustainable management of resources by groups of people such as unions, cooperatives, and trusts can be rational and prevent depletion are clear arguments against individualistic Capitalism where one entity has undue power and can result in ruin.

Competition is fierce, but they are not exactly struggling due to government subsidies/incentives. These are so extreme that Chinese manufacturers are over producing and dumping "used" EVs with zero mileage for export.

Similar to US agricultural dumping, this is a terrible policy for everyone, except for the beneficiaries of the subsidies, and maybe the overseas consumers who get cheap EVs in the short term.

Pure oxygen is actually toxic for humans, leading to hyperoxia. People who breath pure oxygen such as scuba divers need specific training.
