>>537900201They were due for their 100k job overhaul.
>150,000 jeets get hired
>>537900201That's like 2% of Germany's entire workforce lol - have fun i guess. Don't come here btw, we're full
Nobody in their right mind would buy a VW EV, so that pretty much leaves the polo (22k+), and the golf (30k+). Is it ever likely they're struggling. I honestly hope a lot of european businesses go under for the shill of the past decade, the greed.
>>537900201Labor shortage my ass
>>537900664lol new Japanese Korean and Chinese cars have all that but 10 times worse, European manufacturers atleast make the nannies easy to be turned off without digging in the menu for 5 minutes every time you start the car. Anyway all new cars have cameras directed at the driver and black boxes and the masses didn’t protest it for a minute, dystopia was just accepted without any argument
>>537900889I think there are genuinely enough white-collar jobs, they don't want the goyim to know so that the university tuition can keep flowing and people live off of hopium to keep spending and not save their money.
volkswagen never recovered after its emissions fraud scam and is still paying out the ass for it
>>537900971Niggercattle accept dystopia as long as its wrapped in shiny plastic, the key takeaway from the Cold War.
>>537901073Nah, this has more to do with the EV scam and handing off industrial advantages to China by mandating that we adopt technology the Chinese have been dominating for decades (batteries) instead of dropping the suicidal climate policies and instead work to improve combustion engine technology which Germany was an absolute global leader in.
>>537900201I'd prefer a very quick collapse over a drawn out death.I just finally want to reach the point where even the normalcattle is forced to accept that things cannot continue this way so that we can start fixing things.Nothing is worse than everything incrementally going to shit over the decades with zero improvement in sight, it just mentally drains you.It's probably more enjoyable to live in a shithole that is visibly improving year by year than to live in a semi-shithole that is visibly declining year by year.
>>537900201This is what happens when you let Russia psyop your country. Fucking Green Party faggots taking marching orders from Putin forced Germany to shutdown their nuclear plants which is bad for the economy, but also bad for the environment as well.
>>537901303this.it's entirely a self-chosen suicide, and even funnier, the car manufacturers pushed heavily for this since they thought the Chinese will just get tariff'd out of the market and so it's just massive profits for them as a whole continent is forced by law to switch to EV.Then China simply restricted resource exports and now they are all dying a well-deserved death.
>>537900201VW screwed up especially in the past decadeit's a 100K jobs at stake, because it's four (4) domestic factories they wanna close
>>537901352>shutdown their nuclear plantsThey didn't just shut them down, but spiked them to discourage ever restarting them. Easily in the Top 10 most evil and retarded things I've ever heard.
>>537901303germany pivoted to ev because they weren't the leader of combustion engine technology, they literally committed fraud. once germany's scam was discovered they couldn't compete legitimately
>>537900201How can they redeem those jobs?
>>537900201Wagies on suicide watch
>>537901303What are you talking about? VW had to cheat in their emissions tests to get approved. Their technology was lagging.
>>537900878>Nobody in their right mind would buy a VW EVI think the ID Buzz is cool. It's better than the Model Y in pretty much every way, while being a similar size and price. But that said, I didn't buy one. So maybe you're right.
>>537901494they currently want to do the same with our gas network.just damage it beyond a point where repairing it becomes prohibitively expensive.if there was any justice, they'd all be sentenced to death for high treason.
>>537900201>worldwide
>>537900201Germany industrial base collapse any% speed run
Are there any good cars now if you want a non-EV?Seems like all the big manufacturers has switched completely
>>537901569Cheat on emission standards that are fake, gay and only serve to benefit retards that manufacture nothing through energy credits?
>>537901761>Seems like all the big manufacturers has switched completelyidk how things are in norway but it's not entirely true. hyundai makes very reliable turbos now. if oyu want NA fun go for honda. reliability then a toyota.
>>537900201>VOLKSWAGEN>+200.000 job in VOLKSWAGEN India
>>537900664I just rented a '24 Passat. Feels good, but the warnings (both visuals and sounds) are crazy. I could deactivate (most of) them, but I keep them on for the lulz.
>>537901667What are the unions going to do? Strike? Complain?They do not understand the scope of the crisis. If VW, and most major car manufacturers in Europe do not completely re invent themselves, and massively increase productivity in the next 5-10 years, they will go bust. There wont be any factories left, no jobs.The unions should be scramblig and working on programs to capacitate employees and make them more productive.
>>537901761Your only choices are going to quickly become hybrids. It's gotten so bizarre there's a company that sells a car using three different fuel methods.
>>537901786Say that after placing your head a few feet from a tailpipe and breathing in the exhaust for a few minutes. After emission standards were put in place many cities had improved air quality. Fewer children had asthma problems. VW couldn't pass a test other car makers were able to.
>>537901824Toyota reliability is massively overstated, and there are a bunch of recent examples proving it.I think Honda is the best premium Japanese manufacturer, and Suzuki is good at the entry level. I drive a Kia because it's literally the only option here if you want a minivan, but I really like it nonetheless.I also ride a Honda motorbike, and it's good enough that I will literally never consider any brand other than Honda. If Honda doesn't make it, I won't buy it.
>hey, you need to focus on electric cars or you will lose to China>noyou voted for this
>>537900664Modern vehicles have over 100 million lines of code. Filled with bloatware jeet code. While the f-35 has 8 million lines of code. Your (((iPhone) iOS has about 12 million lines of code.Moral of the story: vehicles are filled with jeet slop
>>537900201I've been hearing for more than a decade from Americans that Germany is about to collapse economically What explains this seething and copingAmericans do it to UK tooWhy do they want them to fall
>>537901569>Their technology was lagging.>VW couldn't pass a test other car makers were able to.this is not what dieselgate was about, but i guess you must be 18 to post here
>>537900201I just want pic related, with climate control
>>537902479That's exactly it retard, you didn't Go Green![tm] hard enough. That's def the problem.
>>537902053You're retarded if you think the fake and gay political emissions tests has anything to do with how dangerous the fumes are of modern VW cars. Try to stay behind a 2018 VW and a 1998 VW and see the difference. Modern cars you can barely sense the fumes.
>>537903496Then explain it. I just reread parts of the wiki article describing it as VW cheating on the emissions test. What am I getting wrong?
>>537903798Well duh technology has improved after regulatory laws were gradually increased and 20 years had gone by. The same emission standards were adopted by the EU after a few years.
>>537901926Good questions, anon. Let's dive deeper. Picrel.
>>537900971>There are now ch*nese cars in EuropeEurope has FALLEN. IT'S FUCKING OVER.
>>537900802das riteonly prime Somalia cock for Sweden
>>537901694the "base" is not collapsing.they are firing everyone that works real jobs and converting the manufacturing halls to dronesnext conversion will be the VW engine plants around germany. total conversion to drones for Rheinmetall and Quantum System Industries95% of all drones in Ukraine now come from Germany through Lemberg
>>537903829vw wasnt cheating on emission tests, they were "cheating" in regular driving. In a way what they did wasnt even illegal in germany, more a legal loophole they retrograde stuffed when found out.The esp unit told the ecu if the car is doing the tests cycle on a dyno or actually moving in traffic. In traffic they lowered the ecr rate which increases nox emmission but lowers the rate of carbon buildup that plaques all direct injection engines and require regular manual cleaning (something good for the customer)The cheater cars got a software update that raised the rate, the next gen of engines then had SCR cats fitted so they could lower the egr rate again. That however came at the cost of literally raising base price for diesel cars by several grand for the DEF shit, Simmultaneos shrinking the fuel tanks to make room for the DEF tank and raising weight which has to be compensated by cutting weight elsewhere.The cheater cars where the last simple diesel engines, unironically still a good buy today
>>537901761Unironically get the golf R, also available in variant (wagon) body, probably the last car generation to have a good petrol engine. They’re cheap af and over here you can negotiate up to 25% discount off of the sales price right now.
>>537904451>golf Rbased
>>537902166>Toyota reliability is massively overstatedtoyota has an absolutely fucking amazing hybrid powertrain (esp the e-cvt, arguably best transmission in production rn) and that shit is carrying them hardthey're dropping the ball hard on EVs and software ofc, like every trad auto mfg, but as long as a huge portion of the planet cant into EVs (because rentcucks cant install charging at home), that shit will keep carrying them>inb4 leftist etcfuck niggers, trannnies, jannies, etc etcand im also a petrolhead too, all glory to the e39 m5, the LS3, the busso (not to be confused with bussy) and all that, but credit where credit is due. the toyota hybrid powertrain is awesome. boring af, but excellent for commuting appliances.
pic related is the future , like it or not , EU car manufacturers should focus on that since apparently we don't possess the resources to pool together for mass producing batteries we should focus on the electro mechanical moving parts.VW literally started as a company producing cars for the common people , similarly to other EU brands , then they ve got all retarded with SUVs status symbol pos, were they to return to B segment hatchbacks with no retarded prices they d sell a lot imo
>>537900201Well i guess we dont need those immigrants anyway then
>>537904535I work for a vw supplier(still, looking for something new rn tho). The next generation of vws is gonna be fully electrocucked. They’re also looking for cost cuts across all part commodities right now, it’s crazy. On the other hand never ever buy the Mercedes hybrids especially the s-class amg. Those have worse reliability than French cars even
>>537904826>Those have worse reliability than French cars evenjesus christ it must be bad that they're worse than peugot and renault
>>537903429>Why do they want them to fallThey cannot compete (see eg. wall mart in Germany) and are soulless zombies believing only in moloch (money).
EU will see this and think>Hmm. I should tax Chinese imports more, that will solve the problem.
It fucking sucks, companies are not hiring in Germany and unemployment is skyrocketting beyond the reported rates (6% unemployment rate, real number is more than that).I am considering suicide if I cannot find a job in half a year or so, getting benefits is nice but its not enough to "enjoy life" and stay positive when you get rejected from everywhere.
>>537904826>I work for a vw supplierI worked direct on one of their factory floors (research project). It was gross beyond believe. Only job i quitted before finished.
>>537905085>stay positive when you get rejected from everywhere.Get the gibbs, do black market jobs like anyone, be happy.
>>537905085NEETing all the way
>>537900664Only retards buy modern cars.
>>537905085enjoy life like all the other Ronniesthere is a group of them right next to your local Netto/Norma or Aldi, standing/sitting around all day enjoying Sternburg Exports
>>537905088I can’t complain about my job but if vw cuts 15% of headcount globally then it surely is going to be cascaded down to tier1 and tier2 suppliers sooner than later. What could keep me afloat here is the value engineering projects which are kicking off right now, car manufacturers are hungry for every cent they can shave off, but this will impact quality negatively over the next few years of cars imo. The golden era of European cars is coming to an end, we let china get the best of us and then dump prices on our market. Would love to get a ea888 car myself right now but I don’t feel secure enough to take it as a loaner or drop so much cash on a vehicle
>>537905155I am on ALG1 atm not Burgergeld. I do not want to get to that point, but if I do then let\s see.>>537905155How the fuck am I supposed to find schwarzarbeit. Ex knew someone who offered it, it was simple stuff like setting up networking infrastructure at an office etc.>>537905275>>537905187Will kill myself if it turns out to that
>>537901828Indians cost 5000 eur a year in engineering roles, compared to 50-100k eur in Europe for the same workload. Companies still haven’t noticed how shitty of a job they’re doing though
>>537905462why?are you seriously that much of a goycattle that your entire souls existence depends on a Sozierlversicherungspflichtige Anstellung?
>>537900201they are moving production to Turkey. No one is talking about the real reason why VW is breaking apart and that is the failed China business. Cars still sell well in Europe so to maintain their profit margin they now have to save production costs in Europe and that means moving production to cheaper countries.
>>537905462>How the fuck am I supposed to find schwarzarbeit. Ex knew someone who offered it, it was simple stuff like setting up networking infrastructure at an office etc.Will find it's way, just start to look. Black market is more competitve than chinks because the basics are paid.
>>537901352yeah this is what happens when your "ally" bombs your critical gas infrastructure and weans you off your largest energy supplier.>Fucking Green Party faggots taking marching orders from Putin are the most pro-american party in germany who actively advocate for open ended war with russia
>>537901037That's been the culminating factor since covid. Money is like blood and that it has to move. Clog it one way or another then you have issues. Now, the people with the money hoarding are causing a small clot to form, and they're seeing if they outweigh the consumers now...yes, they don't understand cicuits
>>537900664>>software glitches that make basic functions feel beta-testedcompany i work for answers the phone for these kinds of issues, vwg practically tripled our contract with them in the last year while hinting at cutting us off entirely. they were trying to get us to reduce our rates because they knew a tsunami of these call types was imminent.
>>537900201Why don’t you cut your manufacturing jobs like we do in Germany? VW sucks and is retarded but I don’t think it was that bad.
Thats why I'm buying a Slate truck.Its built to be absolute barebones EV, it even has row down windows.Its going to be 25K, it would had been 20K if Trump didnt get rid of EV rebate
>>537901323>Nothing is worse than everything incrementally going to shit over the decades with zero improvement in sight, it just mentally drains youThat's why such a hell is the kikes' plan for the goyim's world.
>>537905996you think they were joking when they said they will transform to a war economy to "own Putler"?how many german comedians do you know?
>>5379065921, Merkel
>>537900664Buy peugeot from iran
>>537900201I can see the degrowth agenda is going well
>>537901303This, Germany's butchering was a suicide. >shut down all your nuclear plants because you're going to power everything with diversity and friendship>end up fully reliant on Russian gas >uh oh! Russia isn't worshipping the globohomo holy trinity! QUICK SANCTION THEM AND LET THE MUTTS BLOW UP THE PIPELINES!>no you have no nuclear and no gas>meanwhile Russia, China, and even we in Sweden are building more and more nuclearBut wait, it's not over yet. Now that the German industrial base is basically collapsing, they're ALSO going to go to war with Russia. No they can't produce more than 3 tanks a month and they'd have zero hopes of producing enough interceptors to even come close to defending production facilities, but that won't stop them.
Stellantis is actively looking into leaving the North American market. It wouldn't surprise me if they ended up merging with VW instead, which would preserve their foothold in NA and give both companies a few extra years of investor money until the synergies of merging two pieces of shit are discovered to be just a large pile of shit.
>>537900664This has nothing to do with EU cars. All modern cars are fake and gay and fall under the line of enshittification progress. Buy any car made 20 years ago without all this gay tranny smart bullshit and it suddenly just werks!
The peoplecar is shutting down? No surprise.
>>537904451what about Mazda''s ordinary 2.0 skyactive petrol engine, I heard they last a looong time.

>>537901303The EU is a net oil importer. The EU should be adopting EVs even faster than it currently is.
>>537907590I'd bet the RR reactors in Sweden won't be finished until the 2040s
>>537900201where will these people go to now?
>>537900664Modern cars are physical manifestation of the overregulation problem.More rules don't make the cars or traffic safer. If anything they make it more dangerous.
>>537900878The price will be the main problem.Those cars are triple what they should cost but wages didn't triple.People can't or won't afford them.
>>537905895They would make more wealth and gain more wealth if they didn't hoard everything and paid their workers more money.Ford saw things the right way.
>>537914067Nowhere, Germany is top gibs. A few to UK if their relatives are already leeching there (they are).

>>537900664Its a regulatory thing tho. You want to sell cars in the EU, they must have all these features. I had a Toyota Corolla rental for a week. It had 1000km on the meter, so brand new basically. Had to drive 2k km for business during that week. I was about to just total it, that's how angry it made me. Like you can't drive 1 minute without an alarm going off. >sit upright! Bim bim>can't see drivers face: bim bim >1km/h over the limit: bim bim>constantly gets the speed sign recognition wrong which leads to more bim bim.>please take a break: bim bim>stay in the middle of the lane: bim bim
>>537900201It's amazing how Trump brags about muh "job market" when all these companies are laying off thousands and thousands of employees. Like he actually thinks the average person is as retarded as him
