It Is Difficult to Get a (Hu)Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It.

Is Tesla known for building quality? Last time I checked their vehicles were nowhere near basic quality levels of other brands.

Tesla has no reputation in the cycling industry, at least not regarding their bikes, but by the looks of it the fork and wheels are made of composite plastic. Not great.

Yes!

Is this similar to a Flipper Zero? It seems some of the capabilities are there but maybe not all even though you could add anything with the extensions it seems.

They read hacker news

This is indeed the main reason for the question, and for the reasons you mention.

None of those countries are in the EU, which is important for my use case.

I can't speak about all EU countries, but the one country I looked into (Spain), I couldn't find a way to do everything remotely. It required being physically present for some things, so that's why I am asking about whether Estonia actually delivers IRL on the e part of e-residence.

I am in the US currently, would be managing initially from the US. I understand there will be US tax complications, but I can/would deal with those.

I saw this a lot when I ran BD for the program (I'm also an American) and its good you know there will be US tax complications but I would say that unless you expect to 1) have many EU customers and 2) working remotely globally and redomicile elsewhere so you are not considered US tax resident that it probably doesn't make more sense than using something like Stripe Atlas to just set up an LLC or C-Corp

The point is serving EU customers as a EU company yes.

The worst thing you could do as an us citizen (I assume ) and resident is to incorporate outside of the US.

I can think of worse things myself.

Unless you have some specific reason for being in the EU, I suggest you also look into Singapore.

This is a terrible idea. please hire a professional with direct experience on these matters and not blog posts from influencers

Any suggestions or alternative ways to setup a EU company remotely in your extensive experience and wisdom?

I came across this on one of the MS properties, so they obviously did not follow their own advice.
