A reduction in profits is not an issue to the production itself... I would understand if it were a 10% reduction in revenue. Nobody needs to be fired, profits are still above 0, the company is sustainable

Maybe get rid of the dead weight CEOs that have been dragging the company down for years instead of those that work to provide you profit, fucking idiots.

Dead end industry,

Alas no, just a changing of the guard to China

dead end for humanity.

indeed

Try easy car configurations, include most by default. Set down prices to get volume. Prioritise customer satisfaction more than margins :)

I don't know how all the western car manufacturers dropped the ball so hard on EVs.

Yes, the batteries were always expensive, but VW frankly didn't see to even try to innovate on EVs, so I think this is largely self-inflicted pain by management reluctant to try anything new.

Remember when the entire Volkswagen organization conspired to engineer the bypassing of emissions testing?

Wow, what a bunch of cock sucking assholes. Maybe they shouldn’t exist anyways.

R&D is an ugly word in contemporary (non-Chinese) corporate culture

Consider margin cuts. The cars are very middle of the road but the prices are stupid. The buzz is 150%+ of the price of the PV5 which cannot keep stock in. The IDs are rare enough near me despite being decent because the costs are not in line with the product.

They pulled API access and want to charge. Audi went all in on nothing. Q range is ugly. A range is great but they cant manage to make EVs. They wnt to charge subscriptions.
