They fired VW CEO Diess when tried to match Tesla on labor.

And this: "Tesla vows to halve EV production costs, Musk keeps affordable car plan under wraps" https://t.ly/iHGKt

OH, the VW Supervisory Board, about half are from the union.

“Germany, Italy Signal They Could Block EU Combustion-Engine Ban”

Sounds good in principle, but since we BLEW UP THEIR PIPELINE, we can simply tell them to ‘go find your LNG elsewhere’, and they’ll get in line...they ALWAYS do.

I’ve driven almost 4,000 miles around Europe in the last 5 months, 1,300 miles in a Tesla Model 3. Electric cars won’t work for MOST Europeans.

I live in Texas. I could live with an electric car easier than 90% of Europeans I met. No place to park it, no place to charge it, Latitudes North of Maine (= Cold and Dark for 6 montths) and My electricity rates are 1/5th theirs.

The Numbers just don’t add up and the people MAKING cars in Europe are the people most against Electric cars, because they see it doesn’t make sense. Hybrids, sure. All electric... no sense.

"OH, the VW Supervisory Board, about half are from the union."

I used to work for SAP AG for 15 years. Every time SAP tried to kill its craptastic Business Warehouse software (BW) the works council in Germany would bring it back like a damned vampire zombie.

Fermentation emits CO2. Try banning beer and see what happens.
