But supply chain problems meant just under 500,000 vehicles made it off the assembly line in 2020.

Chain links broken, no go for the people's wagon. Gonna get worse due to aluminum and magnesium shortages.

I’d say they produced their fewest in the 1940s....say from 1943-1945.

Can’t seem to generate much sympathy for VW. Too bad about those electric cars!

The one I bought 3 years old in 2015 was assembled in Me-he-co and it’s been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned including five I bought brand new.

So far, I replaced the battery and the thermostat (myself).

Tomorrow I’m going to replace the EVAP purge valve myself in hopes to clear the Check Engine Light.

Big hairy deal, it’s only the largest factory in the entire world. It’s not like it’s a bad omen or nothing.

A spokesperson said last week that discussions were underway to address the competitiveness of the Wolfsburg plant, which does not yet produce fully electric vehicles...

Do they realize that electric cars rely on chips just like gas cars do?

I am loving this. Is it clear to all that gloBULLism and free trade are a bust?
