ummmm EU is going electric and Tesla top ends are ridiculous.

Again, Tesla like Porsche etc will only account for a very small percentage of the cars. Most will not have the top end of a Tesla.

The little experience I've had on the autobahn was that 99% drive at between 110kph and 130kph, like they do here on the 400. Rare is the guy who blasts past at 180+. At those excessive sustained speeds, engines suck the very expensive European gas like small aircraft. Most intelligent people realize after you do the insane speed stunt once, you're quenched. Shaving a couple of minutes off a short trip (remember Europe is small with the largest countries a fifth the size of Ontario) is hardly a concern for freedom over safety.

I've driven a few KM on Autobahns, my experience is cars drive at the speed they are designed for.

I like the way Scotland does it
30 MPH in town
outside of that there is a speed limit
don't see it posted most places
but the roads are so shyte you can't go fast anyways

National speed limit where not sign posted. Some roads are downright dangerous though. I used to drive a lot over snake pass between Sheffield and Manchester. Parts of that were fun on foggy days.
