This thread is nothing to do with Turkish Economy or Turkish national Car but anyway.Then according to your logic, the recent fall in Iran's currency is a good thing as well ? It can help Iranians sell more ? Well you could say that about any countries currency being devalued. Japan devalued their currency on purpose a few years ago.
Iran is currently being subjected to the most stringent, harshest sanctions in human history, you can't compare it's economy to a country like Turkey with an open market. Also much of Iran's economy is currently under the table. What you see on paper is one thing. The oil Iran sells under the table is another. There are lots of small and medium sized businesses investing in Iran, however they're keeping their activity in the dark out of fear of sanctions.
The US and EU are about to impose some harsher sanctions on Turkey. They don't give a sh#t about Turkey. To them it's just another vassal state. if they fall out of line then they will be punished. Simple as that. Right now their economy is not doing very well. It's mostly just fueled by debt.
Here is a prototype of an electric car they're releasing in 2022. Looks like a Tesla knock off. It's designed by an Italian firm. Electric doesn't really make sense in Iran where gasoline prices are still relatively cheap even with the recent increase. If they can produce it for a really cheap price they can maybe export some ? Although with Germany being right there it's going to be difficult. However if this ends up costing anything close to as much as a Honda, Nissan EV or even a Hyundai EV, I don't see too many people buying it. Maybe some Turkish fanboys and Erdogans family and friends ?
1) Currency devaluation doesn't have the same effect on Iran and Turkey, for example Turkey has free trade aggrements with EU. It is a big market for us and We can sell our products as we wish thats why when Turkish Lira lose her value we sell our products much more easly. And Iran? Can you sell your products to EU or any big market like EU with cheaper prices? Do you have any free trade aggrements? No.
2) Iran has sanctions just like Iran has oil. If you can't use all of your potential it is not our fault. It is a failure of the iranian administration, thought I will respect their decision.
3) They don't apply same sactions on Turkey like they did in Iran, not because they don't give a f*ck about us. It is vice versa. They know more sactions will pull Turkey out of NATO. They don't want this. They need us. And we are using it for our advantage. We bomb their so called allies in syria, they watch. We brought Russian's S400 all they can do is banning F-35. Because more than this will hurt them just like it will hurt us.
4) Turkish dept per GDP is pretty small. Try to find Turkey in that list, I think you are not gonna be able to. Because we don't have that much dept.

And a little note, Our cars if all goes as we planned will sell in both Turkish market and European market. With right price and quality, everything is possible.
