Too little too late, or just in time?

I feel like VW has missed out in comparison to Renault, Opel and all the others (especially China).

Also I wouldn’t want to pump my money into their mis-management, but they are European after all..

Yeah it definitely doesn't hurt to have more variety from within Europe since we don't know how much the tariff situation is gonna escalate. Plus VW is doomed if they don't act now. They might still become irrelevant but at least they will have returned to their roots as a car manufacturer for the common people.

Maybe, maybe not. First of it will actually have to hit the road as a production model. Secondly I do think they certainly have shot at being succesfull. Tesla is tanking with each Musk handgesture. And rightly so. But with tariffs being inevitable by now they need to drill in #EU And we need an afordable car that gets rid of the dinosaur fuel. We got far with cutting energy ties with Moscom but now American oil and LNG start to look iffy as well.
