@marcoarment is there a way to completely turn off drawing by finger? I make a lot of accidental markings when I try to turn the page! 😀

@zfescht Unfortunately Americans are excluded from this deal, as @Tesla Switzerland's banking partner excludes US Citizens -- @elonmusk @teslaeurope

@Touni @zfescht @Tesla @elonmusk @teslaeurope Having leased many cars in CH, I certainly do not understand it. It's just ignorance is what it is.

[Basar Akyelli @bakyelli]

@Touni @zfescht @Tesla @elonmusk @teslaeurope Correct. It's absolutely bonkers, because AFAIK leasing doesn't require any FATCA compliance -- they just have a blanket no Americans policy. I feel @elonmusk would have an issue with that?

@RonnyGolisch Unfortunately American citizens are excluded from this offer, as @Tesla Switzerland's leasing partner does not accept US citizens as clients. @elonmusk @teslaeurope

@lionelrudaz It's what Galaxus charges when you return an item after opening its box. With Amazon, this is free.

I'm excited to see us partner with Apple to bring Gemini models to Apple users, powering Apple Intelligence features!

@elonmusk Trying for 2 years with no success, I find it absolutely unacceptable that Americans (*only* American citizens) are ineligible to buy Teslas in Switzerland due to the financial institution that Tesla partnered with. See the screenshot.

[Basar Akyelli @bakyelli]

@elonmusk Americans are not eligible to buy Tesla's (via leasing) in Switzerland. No other brand has this limitation.

[Basar Akyelli @bakyelli]

@elonmusk I have been trying to buy a Tesla for 2 years, but Americans are excluded in Tesla leasing offers in Switzerland! The financial instituton Tesla works with (Gowago) does not do business with American citizens due to reporting requirements. Reported to Tesla many times, no success
