Volkswagen internal document (leaked, prepared with Boston Consulting Group) describes a severe crisis situation. Leadership uses sinking-ship language: "The Titanic has already hit the iceberg, water is flooding in." The company is not bankrupt yet but its old business model is completely broken. Margins have fallen to 2.8%, China profits collapsed, Chinese cars remove German ones from markets around the world and costs run 20% higher than competitors due to replacing cheap Russian pipe gas with a democratic one from USrael. The turnaround plan is severe: at least 100,000 job cuts overall up to 2030, four German plants (Emden, Zwickau, Hanover, Neckarsulm) set to lose vehicle production.https://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/Weitere-rund-50-000-Jobs-sollen-bei-VW-wegfallen-id31267751.htmlVolkswagens supervisory board just approved a major transformation plan that includes cutting around 50,000 more positions worldwide (on top of the 50,000 already underway).https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-supervisory-board-approves-transformation-plan-2026-09-03/In 2023, Volkswagen apprentices in Wolfsburg built three emergency huts (Notfallhütten) on the VW plant grounds as a new accomodation for growing number of niggers and shitskins in the country...https://www.waz-online.de/lokales/wolfsburg/vw-auszubildende-errichten-im-werk-drei-notfallhuetten-fuer-fluechtlinge-2IP7HDCX6BCH5PMOUGAFBJE6O4.html... so all these closed factories could be used as a shelter for refugees, for example these 2 mln Palestinians that Jews now ethnically cleanse xD
>>541961645Morgenthau plan in action.
>>541961645>Emergency in German is "Not Fall":/ so that's why there's no German space program
>>541961645>due to replacing cheap Russian pipe gas with a democratic one from USraelI love how this was the straw that broke VW's back. But when i tell people that we need peace with Russia, and that the US is just acting selfishly, Germans get all autistic. They blame China or Russia or the Turks. They are incapable of understanding how important peace in Europe is.Joke's on them, I'm not dependent on the automotive sector. They can't break the US conditioning, it's hilarious.
Nazis just keep losing
Merz: AfD will only make things worsehttps://x.com/clashreport/status/2095768796354998542
They should just dissolve VW. Germany already has a shortage of engineers and an excess of auto manufacturing capacity. Letting VW die will spare BMW and Benz.
>>541961645>german car costs 20k$ used with 100k kilometers>chinese space ship car costs 20k$ with 0 kilometersI think the choice is easy lol, saw an ad selling a used 2022 Toyota Corolla here with 90k kilometers for 24k$, like lmao that's what the car cost when it was new.
>>541961645The industry receives discounted electricity.2 more weeks of freezing to death
>>541962191AfD is the only party that wants lasting peace with Russia. They are also hardcore neolibearlists. The only non socialist party in hellhole Germany.They are the only ones capable of fixing the industry, because they don't give a fuck about worker's rights, vacation time, working hours- all the socialist crap that caused this mess in the first place.They would even thorugh out anyone unemployed that isn't paying net taxes. Meanwhile Merz is buying his seat by giving printed money to the elderly.If anyone can turn industry around, it's the AfD
>>541962291Letting VW collapse would not spare BMW or Mercedes. All three face the same structural crisis: collapsing China sales, fierce Chinese EV rivals, high German costs, and weak margins.BMW: Q2 profit -35%, China deliveries -30%, margins guided to 1-3%. Cutting 8,000 jobs via severance and reviewing long-protected practices.https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/bmw-reports-second-quarter-earnings-slump-it-cuts-jobs-2026-07-30/Mercedes: Cut bonuses, pushing 40-hour weeks, intensifying German cost cuts and productivity drives amid China slump.https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/longer-hours-employees-among-mercedes-cost-cutting-measures-2026-06-26/
>>541962065How is it our fault you decided to chain your economy to that of an expansion Istanbul imperial dictatorship, you fucking moron?We literally warned you about how vulnerable your dependence on russian gas made you and you laughed in our face.And none of this is necessary.You did this to yourselves with your fucking climate idiocy.You shut down your nuke plants like idiots.
>>541962191The opposite of what he says will happen will happen.
>>541962065I thought Germans were woke on the American Question because of that "Amerika" song I kept hearing in the 2000s. I read that their TV kept making fun of Bush and criticizing the the US' wars. Was this not as significant as I had assumed? Or did it get reversed somehow?My theory is that the US actually got pissed by the derision of Germany's popular culture towards them and they invested in more social engineering for their favorite vassal. There may have been two decades of extra-strength propaganda (let's call it enhanced inculcation) and it actually worked. Now Germany is fucked and won't even begin to unfuck itself until it's too late.
>>541962191The dream of a united europe was always a fools errand.It was only possible because of the permissive trade environment america created, you could never maintain it yourselves.Now we are taking our ball and going home, and leaving you all to deal with the consequences of your own decisions.
Should I buy a Jetta? It'll only be my second car ever.
Bolanda goes down along with Germany and it is a good thing. It should be also transformed into a drone-saturated battlefield like victorious Ukrwanda for my full entertainment xD
>>541962065Absolutely necessary. We must defeat Putin. Our values are at stake.
>>541962065The problem with that interpretation is that China would be eating your lunch (regarding exports) either way. That's the one thing German leadership isn't in denial of at this point. The Chinese car market was already showing this trend way back in 2018 and it was obvious it was coming to the rest of the world. And obviously, this was already happening just prior to the "actual" start of the Ukraine war in 2022. All while Germany had completely failed in both growth markets customers were interested in: EVs (as much as people make fun of them they do at least have a market) and computerization of the car (with consumers loving all the fancy features Chinese cars have added, but hating the absurd subscription for heated seats model of BMW for example). But like you said, it is the straw that breaks the camels back.
>>541961645Volkswagen = carts for peoplegoyim no longer need carts, they dont even have homes lol
>>541961645Your articles dont say anything about gas. The China thing is important but its not talked about. Whats more is the betrayal by the managment class they want to keep stock market prices high so they cut production.
>>541962556Germans are like Canadians. They "hate" America, meaning they "love" globohomo Weimarica. Which was perceived to be in charge during all of these mistakes. So clearly there isn't anything to be upset about. Don't make peace with Putler. Etc.
>>541962556They turn the America hate on for Bush, turn it off for Obama, just like all you stupid brainwashed lefty faggots.
SHORT SHORT SHORT
>>541962666home ownership is like 70% in almost all of the first world lil discord troon
>>541962556>>541962409>Cut bonuses, pushing 40-hour weeks, intensifying German cost cuts and productivity drives Anti-Americanism re: work culture is part of the problem here. The German automakers still viable plants….in red state (union free) America
>>541962726Recent analyses identify high energy prices (post-Russian gas cutoff) and surging Chinese competition as the two dominant drivers of the German auto industrys crisis. Chinese EV makers undercut German costs by 20-30%, erode market share in China (sales drops of 20-30% for VW/BMW/Mercedes), and capture 10% of Europes market now (the share rapidly rises). Elevated energy costs permanently raise German production expenses, compounding the competitive gap. These factors explain most of the profit collapse, capacity cuts, and job losses, far outweighing tariffs or regulation alone.https://www.cer.eu/sites/default/files/pb_BS_ST_china_shock_2.0_18.5.26.pdf
>>541961645>and costs run 20% higher than competitors due to replacing cheap Russian pipe gas with a democratic one from USraelYou forgot something more impactful: closing their nuclear plants because of (((green))) subversion
>>541962495Who cares if we are all friends in Europe? Noone needs your overpriced resources.If Eurasia became one giant economic zone, your new American emprire would be irrelevant. Your strategists know that, that's why you have been fucking up every nation between Istanbul and Delhi for the last 40 years.
every single corporation in the west is going to fail because the top 1% of wage earners in a corporation refuse to take a pay cut. It's literally that simple. They would rather a company go under and they get their parachute or whatever than make 10% less which is still insanely rich. Same with corrupt politicians.
>>541961645let me guess>Electrification was a mistake>Europe should ban China>We are moving all the factories to India
>>541962663>China would be eating your lunchNot unless Germans start to fucking work again like everyone else on earth. The amount of work that a full time employee in Germany is doing is laughable.We have all the technology. What we are lacking is resources, that's where China will always have an edge.However, if China Russia and Europe could start working together peacefully, as one economic zone, everyone would benefit. The US knows this, that's why they try to fuck up everything from Kabul to Mossul. The Ukraine war was very welcome to them as well, since now we have to buy their overpriced LNG just to survive in winter.
>>541961645they hit a shitberg and niggers flooding in caused this, instead of gassing all jews, they want to shelter them inside their ruins.
>>541962856What I don't understand is how reckless European leadership is. It's basic economics to diversify your supply on anything. The fact that Europe refused to frack in the north sea, bring Turkey and Azerbaijan into the gas pipeline network and get oil from Nigeria (all while of course still using Russian gas) gave so much leverage over you. What serious country operates this way? Let alone trans-national union? Literal African countries try to make better choices.
>>541962884Everything you said is retarded.
>>541962971>spend decades trying to prevent employing workers from your own country>"why aren't they buying our garbage anymore"
>>541962291their problem is that if they let the stock drop further they open themselves up for a takeover as VW did to others in the past. This is something they want to prevent at all cost so the manager class is doing what it usually does balance the sheets. Makes no sense if you think about the greater economic implications but thats how the west has been ruled for decades now. The majority of the German people don't seem to care. Oh they love to complain and shit their pants but they keep spouting the same narrative as the tv nowadays making weapons is seen as the solution not realizing that making weapons without capturing new lebensraum is just a economic black hole. >>541962843I do not doubt that lack of cheap gas is a issue however I think its the other factors such as high interest rates that are fucking VW over otherwise we wouldn't be getting +100 new data centers build in Germany. There is a scheme whereby you buy a supply of gas for your business which you then trade on the market. Its something thats exists purely on the sheets its nothing real but thats how the renewable energy stuff works. I suspect the car industry wants to sell their share and make a neat profit off the boom.
Europe is so rabidly anti-business with its regulations that it's only a matter of time until even its legacy megacorps crumble
>>541963003All of this is planned and done on purpose. Just like "COVID vaccination". Thats why i am 100% certain that the Ukraine war would fully expand to Bolanda as well, because it is a part of the plan xD
>>541962973See>>541963003AlsoAnd the idea that China has resources is hilarious. They import all the raw resources from Africa and Australia. They're more energy insecure than even Europe when you consider their massive population. Even something as simple as iron, 70% of it comes from abroad. Oil is like this too.
Maybe they should try doing what made them popular and building rock solid machines at a reasonable price for that sort of quality. You could even sacrifice easy serviceablity and acess to internals and charge a premium for imports so people know it's actual german engineering offset the higher overhead costs of producing locally or something. No. That'd be silly. That would never work. It need to have features, bells and whistles, a metric fuck ton of electronic points of failure. That's what the consumer REALLY wants. It has nothing to do with having engineers now who don't actually know how to design mechanical systems like that and are dependent on electronics to get the machine to do what they want after 20 years of pushing in that direction and hiring people who learned to do specifically that.
>>541963033Every current issue we have in the west is everything is too expensive. In the past prices would lower to compensate. That isn't happening anymore. Our economy today is nothing but kike tricks. Kike tricks to keep us under employed (AI, Indians, DEI hiring) and kike tricks to make us spend more money we don't have. Doritos lost billions because they thought retards would buy their garbage for $7. I remember reading they would lower prices. Today I was in the grocery show and saw them at $3 but they significantly cut the amount of chips by half. I don't buy that garbage but it was disgusting to see and you are a retard if you don't see this shit. Fast food is dying and you see these CEOs suggest everything but reducing prices. We have a really sick system which people in charge who think they are above everyone else.
>>541962065There was a German flagged roach that I was talking to earlier today who said it wasn't energy costs that hurt German industries even though I provided proof of such. You have dumb people who are brainwashed and corrupt foreigners whose goal is to see your country die even though it pays for their improved life in Germany. You need to expel all non-germans.
>>541961645There are Chinese interested in those factories. They are already involved in Spain building a new one (MG, Galicia) plus another 4 projects in existing factories of other groups that will make cars with them.It'll happen the same in Germany. There won't be a Detroit situation.The problem of German cars is less people want to buy them, not so much the energy thing.
>>541963093China is far more energy-secure than Europe tjo. China now sources 83% of its total energy domestically (mainly coal + rapid renewables/nuclear/hydro). Self-sufficiency rate stands at 84%, one of top highest in the world. It is the worlds top coal producer and largely self-sufficient in coal (the backbone of its power system). Domestic gas output has risen sharply, renewables and nuclear are expanding faster than anywhere else, cutting oil demand via EVs. Oil import dependence remains high (around 60%), but is buffered by massive strategic reserves (months of supply), diversified suppliers (including land pipelines from Russia), and falling oil intensity due to electrification.Europe sources only 50% of its energy domestically. Production of oil, gas and coal is at historic lows, overall import dependence often exceeds 60% (Germany 75%). After losing cheap Russian pipeline gas, it relies on costlier LNG and remains highly exposed to global price shocks and supply disruptions. China also operates the worlds largest navy by ship numbers (370+ battle-force vessels, far ahead of any European navy or even the combined European fleets in scale). This gives it unique capacity to protect key sea lanes if required, something Europe cannot match with its fragmented much smaller naval forces
>>541961645EU is over and it's a good thing (for Russia and America)
>>541962403Man you are a bot.How's your AfD going to solve anything when he blames everything on imaginary stuff.Being a slave to Russia won't make VW cars attractive to buy.In Saxony-Anhalt they claim they want to end the gender courses so people go back to study normal things again. There are no gender studies in the region.They basically do the same with anything.AfD is profiting on people stupidity, not on tangible proposal or solutions.
>>541962495“We” “us” lol. Buddy you are a tax slave like everyone else. Get a grip. Government is slavery.
>>541963037On top of that you have to add all the shitty reguations that make the cars more expensive, people on average just want a cheap shitbox to go from A to B and a couple of trips a year.
>>541962403yeah a lesbian whore wants peace with Russia. you eurocucks never learn I swear.
>>541963533He's not an European. How long have you been around?
>>541962403There's only one thing that's going to fix this place. We need to recall all White Germanics from abroad and bring them back home. If your last name is Miller and you live in Minnesota, time to come home. If your name is Klaus, and you live in Pennsylvania, it's time to come home. Germany needs fresh blood, but it needs to be it's own kind. Repatriating our kin and reforming society around new traditions is the only thing that will fix this shit.
>>541963526Yup and all these regulations and permits and other garbage prevent competitors from forming. You ever see those youtube videos of people buying Chinese cars and bringing them to America and Europe they have to pay retardedly high import fee at the port that can be as much as the car itself
>>541963292>>Production of oil, gas and coal is at historic lows, overall import dependence often exceeds 60% (Germany 75%)From what I found, this statistic includes other European countries though. As you mentioned in the prior sentence. It looks like its around 40% truly "foreign" energy (non EU) imports for Germany from what I've found. Granted that counts Frances nuclear. Secondly,Before Germany shut down their nuclear program, it generated almost 30% of their electricity needs. Considering today, they only meet about 40% of electricity demand domestically, they would actually be somewhat close to China had they not destroyed their plants. And finally, what exactly has been stopping Europe from building out a navy besides their own blindness? America has literally been begging them to do for decades. To the point it was putting it's own planes on British carriers because the Brits though it was more important to spend on elfcare. How can you call anything sabotage after making this series of decisions for DECADES. You even point out another thing China did regarding it's energy, it DIVERSIFIED it's sources. Which Europe for some reason didn't understand to do?
>>541963720I explained already that Europe is being shut down on purpose. The weak always get fucked during world wars xD
Volkswagen's and all of its subsidiaries are shit anyways. Good riddance.
seriously overpriced cars anyway and quality is meh

>>541963840Not to mention either absolutely boring designs like VW, Skoda, Audi or repulsive like Bently or lamborghini. Porsche is a boring/repulsive combination.
>>541964040Porsche is gone pretty soon and will exist just to sell merch like toy cars and shirts when the last private equity firm buys them then when the last boomer dies it will just dissolve
>>541961645>so all these closed factories could be used as a shelter for refugeeslmao thats so obviously what they gonna do
>>541963086Is that why Poland is still white? They want to throw only white goyim to the slaughter/have another place that won't collapse into anarchy as an army invades it?
>>541961645My sympathy is limited. These are the same fucks who moved a shitload of production to China to try and scam Europe by having cheap production costs but still charging prices if they were manufactured here, and they also lobbied for EVs hard as fuck because they thought it would let them force a whole continent to buy overpriced crap from them long before the old car fleet would actually have to be replaced.They killed themselves with their own greed, and it was 100% predictable, too.
Total auto collapse
>>541961645post this in 4chan.org/o/
>>541962065Or you could have not let the Green movement tear down your nuclear energy. Self sufficiency especially for energy is one of the most important things for a country.Thank fuck we didn't make the same retarded decision as Germany.
>>541964133More likely they will retool them for war materiel.That's our current government's plan - try to cause a hot war with Russia so they can restart the economy again via a war economy. That one doesn't rely on consumers voluntarily buying the products, it enforces itself so it's easier to keep running (short term at least, but they only plan short term nowadays).
>>541964373>GreenIt was every party that sat in parliament back when this first began. There was not a single party you could have voted for in Germany which wouldn't have shut them down.You guys underestimate just how subverted the German political class is by foreign interests, you still seem to believe that Germans could have just voted a bit differently and then things would have changed.Nothing short of excessive violence would have prevented it.
>>541964403that makes sense too. they might decide to turn the factories into drone production factories or something globohomo like that. or maybe another auschwitz but for white germans who refuse to go to the front. its not looking good for germany either way unfortunately. hope you guys get a rightwing party in power to stop this retardation
>>541964491We have elections in one state on Sunday, and the AfD is within range of getting the absolute majority (depending on how many other parties fail the 5% threshold).I hope they win it, just so I can see what they will actually do when they get into power.Depending on that I'll either stay around and try to fix this shithole in the hopes that they win nation wide, or I'll migrate elsewhere if they end up being the exact same kind of traitors as the rest.
>>541964491Germany pledged to produce 5000 drones for Ukraine up to mid-2027 todayhttps://unn.ua/en/news/the-production-of-5000-long-range-drones-for-ukraine-has-begun-in-germanyThe problem is that Ukrwanda launches around 300 drones at Russia _per day_ out of which 99% are being shot down xD
>>541962065It takes a special kind of retard to believe that after you shut down your coal and nuclear generation for windmills and fairy dust.You losers lost way too much good DNA in the 20th century.
>>541964560wow thats cool to hear. hope they win too. but make sure you keep pressure on them even when they get into power. too many times the globohomo forces inject controlled opposition candidates in an attempt to control nationalist parties.. like they did with trump and the right here
>>541964685I think they are well aware ob subversion attempts. They get accused of nepotism all the time, but it seems to be mostly just them hiring people they know they can trust, because the Stasi and other parties are constantly trying to destroy them from within.We'll see - I am willing to put in a lot of effort and make sacrifices, but only if I can see an upwards trajectory for this nation.I'm unwilling to stay around if we just continue to decline and any effort I invest is immediately stolen by someone who has never done a single day of honest work in their life.
>>541962065>I love how this was the straw that broke VW's back.It wasn't.VW is bloated and pays its workers too much to be competitive.Export to china could mask the inefficiency, but now thats gone.Kill all russians.
>>541964870all these big companies tend to believe that inefficiency is not an issue because they are too big to fail and the state will bail them out endlessly to try and preserve those jobs.they don't really seem to understand that they eventually become too big to bail out. you cannot endlessly cover up their mistakes with tax money because that fucks you in the ass twice - once by keeping people employed at companies that are not efficient, thus robbing you of productivity. and then by having to increase taxes on the productive companies, making it harder for them to stay productive.the inefficiency isn't the only thing that fucked them over, but there were many other reason why they are failing that were primarily self-inflicted (plus the government fucking with the price of energy for ideological reason but VW supported that)the transitional period will obviously suck, but VW restructuring is necessary.
>>541961645>so all these closed factories could be used as a shelter for refugees, for example these 2 mln Palestinians that Jews now ethnically cleanse xDWe didn't ask for this weigh in, untermensch

>>541965365It was also destroyed with printed money because too much money was being printed. LolThe only reason the u.s got involved in WW2 was because Wallstreet (the primary dealers of the federal reserve) had bet on germany failing and were about to lose during an economic depression in the U.S. which again was contrived by the same financial institutions.

NEW: German industrial bosses want workers back to 40 hours a week without extra pay — effectively a 13% cut in hourly labor costs. The 35-hour week in metals and auto was won by IG Metall after a seven-week strike in 1984 and has been the norm since 1995. Now with German manufacturing over 15% below its 2017 peak, labor costs at €49.50 an hour (47% above the EU average), and VW considering plant closures, executives at Mercedes-Benz, Stihl, and others are openly calling the old deal unaffordable. https://x.com/clashreport/status/2095611044852809931
>>541965913China was their main selloff station. Now, Chinks have copied German auto's so the local Chinks are no longer buying, and the Euros are moving to cheaper Chink cars, instead of expensive German garbage.
>>541965947>Volkswagen said "a further fundamental adjustment of the global workforce capacity" was needed, saying this would include a reduction of around 50,000 positions worldwide — in addition to a 50,000-job reduction already under way.What if they're about to unveil a brand new Robot/AI that's about to do all the work itself?
>>541966010 Chinese firms never copied German EVs (which always lagged behind Chinese ones). Chinese makers (BYD, CATL, XPeng, NIO and others) pioneered cost-effective LFP batteries, vertical integration, software-defined vehicles and rapid development cycles that left German ICE specialists far behind. It is acyually Germans now that actively seek Chinese tech: VW invested in XPeng for smart platforms and software, partners with CATL/Gotion for batteries, shifts R&D to China for speed and features amid lack of talents/engineers in Germany. Audi and others use Chinese platforms. Tables have turned xD
>>541966126>pioneered cost-effective LFP batteries,They are even scaling cheaper sodium-ion batteries now
>>541966058In 2024, China installed 295,000 industrial robots (54% of the global 542,000 total), more than the rest of the world combined and 11x Germanys 26,982 units (5th globally, down 5%). https://ifr.org/img/worldrobotics/Executive_Summary_WR_2025_Industrial_Robots.pdf2026 data wasnt released yet, but estimates say about half million of Chinese robots a year.China holds the largest operational stock (>2 million) and leads industrial AI via 30,000+ smart factories, dominant WEF Lighthouse sites, rising domestic suppliers, and national AI + Manufacturing”/embodied-AI strategies integrating AI into robots at scale. Germany is decades behind.
>>541962191The problem with Germans is they don't seem to grasp (must be the 'tism) that most of Europe either despises them (France) or outright hates them (Spain, Italy, Greece). They spent the past twenty years strutting around with their massive superiority complex, but now the tables have turned and their three biggest bets (car industry, russian gas, wind power) have backfired spectacularly, to be compounded of course by an explosion of the shitskin population which will make the problem exponentially worse in the upcoming years as we have seen in France. You reap what you sow. Germans are lucky they are still seen as a beacon of progress in shitholes like flag related, because without that they would have to shove their overpriced exports up their ass.
Western europe economy has been destroyed to help slavshit belter shitholes and to obey amerishart wishes. None of our politicians actually care about the interests of our countries.
>>541966354>slavshit belter shitholes+80% trade of such shitholes like Bolanda goes to the EU tho. If Euro-economies go down, the belters go down too. Bolanda has currently fastest growing debt in Europe xD
>>541962291Look at the market capitalization of Bmw and Merc they are only doing marginally better (because of Turks and Arabs buying their trash with the gibs they get from the German govt). There is no real shortage of engineers, they are just saying that to pull a US style H1B scam to depress wages. There is a direct university pipeline from India and Nafriland to Germany now.
>>541961645>China profits collapsed,VW and Audi were propped up because they were the official car of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese state bureaucracy. if you were a mid level bureaucrat you got a vw or an audi as a perk because your official salary was low. maybe your wife got one and your kid got one too depending on your level. there were millions of VW and Audis bought by the chinese state because of this. because of the deal with VW going back to the 80s.
>>541963065I would imagine a lot of boomer pensions are also tied to the VW stock price, if they are taken over or fail boomers die of starvation (based)
>>541962556>I read that their TV kept making fun of Bush and criticizing the the US' warsEuros have been moralizing toward us for like 50 years now and we only recently started giving a shit. Your theory is retarded
>>541966310>China's "dark factories" are fully automated manufacturing plants that run 24/7 with minimal or zero human workers on the floor, eliminating the need for lights, heating, or human-centric infrastructure.So what happens with all the excess workers? Useless eaters? I guess a World War 3 scenario would boost innovation as well and rid them of all the useless humans.
>>541961645unions and welfare statism and climate alarmism destroyed volkswagon.
>>541966680China "vaccinated" its livestock too. Supposedly with traditional vaccines, not genetic bioweapon like the West, so who knows. Anyways, China has a weak demography due to one child policy. Their population goes down naturally now, so AI/robotics implementation is good for them.
>>541961645Have they tried making a jetta that doesn't look like a honda? These cars used to be cool and distinct but that hasn't been the case since like 2005 now
>>541963292>China also operates the worlds largest navy by ship numbersnearly entirely coastal defense fleets unworthy of high seathey wouldn't be able to break a good blockage
>>541967056China fields the worlds largest navy by hull with dense A2/AD missiles, submarines, and expanding carriers enabling strong regional sea denial near vital routes (South/East China Seas, approaches to Malacca). This raises the cost of any distant blockade and supports protection of core economic sea lanes closer to home, even if full global blue-water control is still maturing. It is actually US Navy struggling now due to emergence of cheap precise long range drones/missiles that even small actors can make now. Recently, Irans asymmetric "mosquito fleet" of fast boats, drones, and missiles has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz. The US has been forced to keep its capital ships at standoff distances in the Arabian Sea, unable to project power directly into the Persian Gulf.
>>541961645should've hire Indian leadership to correct the ship
>>541961645>spend decades offshoring your production to China to make an extra 2% profit margin>pikachuface.jpg when you've upskilled the Chinese and now they are flooding the market with cheap cars in a market you've been bottom dollaring Oh, who could have possibly see this happening?
>>541966310BTW, China is now the worlds top producer of industrial robots. In 2025, output reached 773,000 units, up 28% year‑on‑year, accounting for one‑third of global production and surpassing Japan. Domestic market share jumped from 28% a decade ago to 57%, reversing the earlier heavy reliance on German imports that pretty much disappeared from Chinese market now.
>>541966354western economy was deliberately tanked by USA, since Gadhaffi, Euro-Crisis, America is giving blow after blow to us but we all keep simping. It's rudiculous.

>>541962065They do because you forgot the third position: taking the oil from them.
>>541961645Cars are to expensive and no i will not use a jew hire scheme
>>541966194>sodium-ion batteriesLol. Lmao. No thanks. Im not comfortable towing 5 tons of batteries around. There is no getting around the limiting factor of sodium ions being larger and subsequently heavier. Diesel electric is the current meta but no one actually wants to produce them because the point of the exercise isn't to have an actual solution but to offload the bulk materials that are mined and stored (nickel, cobalt, lithium, etc) that comes with mining other more valuable resources which have just been sitting around for generations costing mining companies money to store. Then when you add the tax-breaks and other subsidies that prop up ev vehicle production whats the point of innovating energy storage/green tech when customers would then demand the better solution that isnt as "profitable"?
>>541968338>Cars are to expensiveOnly for the bankrupt, and deindustrialized money-printers like the West. Chinas industrial edge, massive scale, complete supply chains, and a vast engineering talent pool slash production costs radically for domestic market. Government programs, over $230 billion in subsidies, purchase tax exemptions, trade‑in rebates and the "NEV go‑to‑countryside" initiative - offer top EV models priced ¥30,000-¥80,000 ($4,200-$11,200). Low electricity and maintenance costs further fuel total ownership. Consequently, China has led global NEV sales for 11 straight years, with EVs now more affordable than gasoline cars, achieving the worlds highest sales volume and per‑capita affordability for working‑class families.
>>541967376You make it sound like it wasn't inevitable anyway. If germs didn't do it, someone else would.

>>541962495>We literally warned you about how vulnerable your dependence on russian gas Americans warning about "vulnerability" of relying on Russian gas is the equivalent of a mafia boss warning about fragility of your knee capsRussian gas was never unreliable and Moscow never stopped selling it, it was Germany that destroyed its own economy through "sanctions" on America's orders only to be hit by tariffs kek
>>541962495Russian gas is unreliable because of you subhumans. We should kill all of your toy soldiers here in europe and send them back in pieces inside wooden boxes.
>>541968557Maybe read his post and address it, retard. You can't because you're a shill.
>>541961645>due to replacing cheap Russian pipe gas with a democratic one from USraelVW doesn’t have problems because of russian gas you stupid nigger.The problem VW has is the cars they produce are too labor intensive and labor cost in Germany is higher than in china. They need to lay people off (which they do), automate the production more , and produce simpler cars that are cheaper.All this "Muh russian gas" is just a stupid take by retards who understand nothing about the situation.
>>541968771Read this: >>541962843
>>541968812You should have read it yourself nigger.And that is a paper from a british banking jew lobby group btw. I am disgusted to even look at it.
>>541969196Easier to blame the tangible than grip with the existential dread of realizing Chinese inhumanity outcompetes western values.
>>541969196Page 3 (Main Text & Footnote 4):"According to analysis published by Bloomberg in late 2024, roughly 40 per cent of Germany's GDP shortfall can be traced to lost export markets, another 40 per cent to higher energy prices, and the remaining 20 per cent to weak domestic demand, bureaucracy and other factors."Page 3 (Main Text & Chart 2 caption context):"Note that these declines in German exports happened well after the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian gas shock of 2022 (Chart 2)."
>>541969517If you already made up your mind you can find the quote that agrees with you.And high energy prices are a problem for energy intensive industries. But VWs isn’t that energy intensive, their problems are cost of labor, complex production and complex cars.
>>541969805Really Volkswagen's key problem is their brands are lame outside of Lamborghini which is minuscule. People want flashy shit that's instagrammable when they buy a car, otherwise they will just go for the cheapest option aka China or Dacia. Audi dropped the ball, for some reason shitskins don't like them like BMW or Mercedes, they feel like dentist cars. Volkswagen is neither cool nor cheap, its market niche is nonexistent. Whoever buys one of their cars does it out of inertia or ignorance since there's always a better option. All other issues are fixable, but this one is unsurmountable. BMW and Mercedes will survive IF they stop making shit designs. Volkswagen is gone. No amount of cost saving will make a German worker cost-competitive with a Chinese one.
>>541962495>pours seething in responseEat shit you faggots. You sound like fucking women; no responsibility taken.
>>541966560His theory isn't wrong when viewed from 1000m, but you are correct about the timeline.

The one this I'm grateful to pours for is the word schadenfreude, which describes to a T how I feel about them.Also, fucking jews, man.
>>541961645I have a free tip for Volkswagen management:Make more electric cars. People love them.
>>541962065Your country never liked peace. We (rest of European nations) would be better off if Germany would cease to exist.
Boston consulting group kills companies. It's their job so that hedgies can short those companies.

>>541962065The US told you not to get dependent on Russian oil and you kraut niggers not only ignored the advice but publicly laughed at Trump for saying it.Who is laughing now faggots?
>>541972446>The US told youNobody asked.
>>541968485Because it's not inevitable. Western companies chase quarterly gains meanwhile China chases market dominance.The fact that Chinese companies don't play by the same rules and pressures is precisely why VW's decline was perfectly avoidable.
>>541968736>russia will be friendly with us once the USA leaves europe!Pure delusion. When you get conscripted, I hope a russian drone kills you and I get to see footage of it.
>>541972446>Hubris.

>>541962330>german car costs 20k$ used with 100k kilometers>chinese space ship car costs 20k$ with 0 kilometersWhat you just said is nonsense. If that was the case than the used German car would be impossible to sell and its price would drop.If what you say is true, then the only explanation is that China is buying German cars on the used to finance their own new cars and send German car brands to bankruptcy.The same cars are probably then sold by China in Africa for 5k euro max, partially covering the dumping operation
>>541974142Add the fact that new Chinese cars give 7 year warranty or 160k kilometers warranty.
>>541961645hey polack, are u part of ruski linked NGO/think tank/glowfag op allocated to /pol/?I see u posting here all the time and it sticks out like a sore thumb

>>541972860Cope, seethe, dial 8.
>>541974750Still didn’t ask for your advice.
>>541975049It was never advice. It was a warning which came true. Germans aren't very smart.
>>541971862VW is not gonna be building cars at all soon.Who do you think cares about cars in 2026? It's niggers arabs and turks. Zoomers don't give a shit about cars. The kind of white kid who used to buy a Polo or a Seat Ibiza does not exist anymore, or rather he's playing videogames instead.The market is Chinese shitboxes and ghettomobiles for barbershop owners. The future is not what it used to be.
>>541975615Only a retard thinks this. Your "warning" has nothing to do with VWs problems."Muh russian gas" didn’t make china produce cars more cost effective. China simply has cheaper labor costs and VW didn’t automate enough to be able to compete.
>>541962191This is a politician openly sperging out about how it's difficult to oppress the population and force them to vote for him forever (at least not as easily as China does)>Muh China>Muh Technology>Muh AFDVirtue signaling to shitheads and women that he wants a total surveillance state and he's buttmad he can't just delete political competition to facilitate that. Basically a toddler who's mad his lego bricks aren't fitting together the way he imagined them.>Read the instruction booklet retard, it's called History
Dont worry they are going to save Germany by making bombs for ukraine and giving them away for free.After all Russia is responsible for all the shitskins that invaded Germany and Russia wont let Germany send them back the fuck where they came from.Am sure all the angry laid off white Germans cant wait to head to the trenches in ukraine for revenge!
Why not build nuclear plants? Germany has already been successfully invaded under the guise of asylum. Shame.
>Chinese imports to Europe are taxed to the hilt to protect European car manufacturers>They are dying anyway, because the problem was never cheap competition, it was that they have become massively bloated shit companies that make massively overpriced shit productsIf the choice is to buy a modern German car or a Chinese EV, I'll pick the Chinese EV. If there is no choice except to buy a modern German car, I'll ride a bike instead.
>>541962403There is no such thing as peace with bolsheviks>>541962409Germany should try making a car that isnt worthless when the warranty ends
>>541962602unless you plan on dumping it after the lease ends absolutely not
>>541975790You are right that cars lost their novelty, but they still are a necessity and people buy them.That’s why i say VW must produce cheaper, more simple/practical cars to be competitive. Building cars for some muslims posers isn’t gonna move the needle for them. You can still get your used BMW Unfallwagen to impress your nigger girls with.
Here's a roadmap for VW:>go to the archives at the main HQ>search blueprints for 1990's cars>update them here and there mildly>make the cars rock solid, no digital bullshit>sell them with a punchline:>WILL LAST FROM FATHER TO SON>price them so that everyone can afford one>make spare parts in abundanceA simple, functional car that actually is built to last. Only knobs for the driver, no digital interface whatsoever. No phone home bullshit, in fact no computer diagnostics at all. Hence you cut down the manufacturing expenses and fill the markets with vehicles people actually want these days, when everybody is suffering from digital fatigue. Make them comfy, as they used to be.As simple as.
>>541978370Impossible. The EU GSR legally requires modern electronic driver aids like AEB, LKA, and event data recorders in all new cars. Furthermore, strict Euro standards make purely mechanical, computer-free engines illegal because vehicles must feature digital ECU and standardized on-board Dldiagnostics to continuously monitor real-time emissions. Additionally, UN cybersecurity rules mandate a certified digital software architecture for all new vehicle registrations. Without all these required digital controls and active safety systems, the EU would refuse type approval and ban the cars from sales entirely. xD
>>541979971Why tho?Why EU has taken itself such liberties to dictate such things?Common sense tells me EU bureaucrats should just eat wiener schnitzels and speak about the weather.
>>541975828>Volkswagen uses an unubtainium water wheel in the Rhine River that was free to produce the power needed to manufacture cars.I hope you're just pretending to be retarded.
>>541968741He did address it retard. Nice projection though, eglin faggot.
>>541973540Russia has generally been a stablizing force in European history, far longer than you judeo-masonic shithole has even existed.

>>541962191kkek
Did Europe think everyones got 100k burning a hole in their pocket for an EV. Here is the solution for all the problems of politicians and business. Start doing what is in the interest of the people. Start listening to what people want. Act accordingly, rather than doing what you want anyway or trying to tell people what they want.
>>541961645>create fake document pretending things are going to hell>it "leaks">oh no help government we are in trouble give us $10 billion
>>541964196Seems like it. The only white countries remaining are probably the countries that are planned to be turned into the next ukraine. Probably Poland, Hungary, Czech and Slovakia.
>>541980803Other industries that use more energy are not in trouble like VW is. Why? Because it’s not the energy that is the problem.VW is supposed to make cheap cars for the masses, but china is currently better at this. And cheaper energy wouldn’t fix it.
>>541968771If labor cost was the main issue why aren't companies putting their factories in Africa?
>>541962971kek spot on
>>541981641>Other industries that use more energy are not in trouble like VW is.Not as bad as VW but they are in trouble. Energy prices are definitely a large contributing factor, even if it isn't the entire issue.
>>541962556I don't care what they say but America is Wunderbar.
>>541961645>Volkswagen internal document (leaked, prepared with Boston Consulting Group) describes a severe crisis situation. Leadership uses sinking-ship language: "The Titanic has already hit the iceberg, water is flooding in." The company is not bankrupt yet but its old business model is completely broken. Margins have fallen to 2.8%, China profits collapsed, Chinese cars remove German ones from markets around the world and costs run 20% higher than competitors due to replacing cheap Russian pipe gas with a democratic one from USrael. The turnaround plan is severe: at least 100,000 job cuts overall up to 2030, four German plants (Emden, Zwickau, Hanover, Neckarsulm) set to lose vehicle production.>Volkswagens supervisory board just approved a major transformation plan that includes cutting around 50,000 more positions worldwide (on top of the 50,000 already underway).>In 2023, Volkswagen apprentices in Wolfsburg built three emergency huts (Notfallhütten) on the VW plant grounds as a new accomodation for growing number of niggers and shitskins in the country...>... so all these closed factories could be used as a shelter for refugees, for example these 2 mln Palestinians that Jews now ethnically cleanse xD
>>541982087most of africa is at civil war
>>541962602I can’t recommend any Volkswagen made in the last decade. Constant electronic issues.You could certainly do worse, but they’re not great.
>>541982087They are. VW has opened factories in eastern Europe.But the problem VW has is in Germany, with German factories. They are full of old boomers and it’s unpopular to lay them off. Layoffs would be good for VW in Germany. They need to get leaner and produce more cars per worker to be able to compete with china.>>541982196If "muh cheap russian gas" was the issue, why are we talking about VW and not the chemical industry?VWs problem is pretty obvious not energy and everyone with a brain saw it coming 10 years ago.
>>541961645All I can say is to Europe we told y'all not to get involved with dem Chinamen folks and you did it anyway. Its the only reason we still have an auto industry. Chinamen don't fight fair they take 20K loss on every car and don't give a FUCK.
>>541982684>Europe we told y'allDidn’t ask.
Germany should pay them to make tanks instead, rebuild your pathetic military by saving your industry.
>>541962602I drive a 2002 vw jetta and its the best little car. Driven cross country at least ten times. Ive had to fix a few parts here and there but i always change the oil on time. 183k miles and probably spent between $8 or 9k since i received the car in 2018 with 99k original miles. I wouldnt buy a new vw though. Look for an older quality one.
>>541982684america is 40 trillion in debt and you need a 10 year loan to afford a new car LOL
>>541982861Definitely not. VW is filled with overpaid and slow boomers. We would waste money and not get a single tank.
My friend works at a major German company. It is impossible to fire anybody. Instead, they move that employee to the Dept. of Looking for Employment, and continue to pay their full salary. It's no wonder they are no longer competitive.
>>541981641Cope. I never said it was the entire problem but you did say it had nothing to do with it which is pants on head retarded.
>>541983160>but you did say it had nothing to do with itBecause it doesn’t. We get these "uhm Germany muh russian cheap gas"-threads daily now but all it does is distract from the real issue.VW is in trouble because china is able to produce more cars per worker.VW would need to lay people off, automate more and produce simpler cars that cost less to stay competitive.
Remember when everyone said Brexit would kill Britain's economy? Turns out being forced to follow the EU's homo guidelines kills your economy. RIP Germany, you had a good run.
>>541984447Another retarded take from someone who randomly blames something with no connection to the real issue simply because he has a problem with it.The EU didn’t tell VW to be less efficient than china.
>>541983660>>541983660>already historically high energy prices increasing by 46% in 2026 has nothing to do with a manufacturing companys profit margin in 2026. Well, thats a really nice opinion you have there.
>>541984677China didn't tell their companies to follow environmental guidelines. When China wants to build a factory, they just build it. Volkswagen can see the problem on the horizon but literally cannot act. It also doesn't make sense why Chinese cars are cheaper than homebuilt ones other than shitty laws increasing production costs.
dont care for VW shita fucking VW Polo with 3 cylinders and Indian tier build quality costs 20k €, it costs like 3k € to produce that shitboxfuck you German faggots, you robbed us for way way too long
>>541984706This article from a German car magazine says that the energy portion of the production cost is between 300 and 1200 €:> Demnach lag der Energiekostenanteil pro Fahrzeug in Europa im Jahr 2022 bei etwa 800 Euro, im nächsten Jahr könnte er auf bis zu 1200 Euro steigen. Im Jahr 2021 waren pro Fahrzeug im Durchschnitt nur 300 Euro angefallen.> https://www.autobild.de/artikel/energiekosten-autopreise-22349073.htmlIt’s only a tiny fraction of the cost and irrelevant.You are trying to district from the real issue VW has.
>>541962648Don't worry piodr. We will reduce russian population 0.
>>541984847>When China wants to build a factory, they just build it.VW can do what they want too. Remember the Abgasskandal? They simply ignored environmental regulations and built in software to detect a measurement cycle to sell dirty cars. And what did the government do? Nothing.Chinese cars are cheaper because labor costs in china are cheaper and people have less worker protections. VW would need to lay people off and automate more to become leaner.
>>541985053>paying more for a material required in production doesn't actually have anything to do with the cost of production Good luck with all that or sorry about your loss. Whatever.
But does VW make any good cars though?
>>541964570>The problem is that Ukrwanda launches around 300 drones at Russia _per day_ out of which 99% are being shot down xD>sourceTrust me bros xD
>>541965157>the 4 shut down factories will be converted to refugee housing by the end of the yearNot really. Those factories gonna be used to make drones to bomb pidor 5.000 km deep inside russia.It's gonna be glorious.
>>541962409cars are appliances now, partly because of EVs and partly because all artistry has been regulated out of cars. there's no sense in buying an ICE car, just get an EV and I doubt the chinese EVs are that much worse since they're all sourcing the same batteries. "made in china" is kind of meaningless since covid because everyone learned everything is made in china even if companies claim they aren't.
>>541985130Typical. Some guy (probably Ukro-deserter) killed by drones for propaganda reasons. Zero actual real life battlefield footages. Watch this vid. My favourite in 2026 so far. Ukrainians lost entire platoon in minutes in Kupiansk to the 27th brigade together with the 121st motorized rifle regiment, 122nd motorized rifle regiment of the 68th motorized rifle division of the 6th Guards Combined Arms Army to superior Russian chuds.https://files.catbox.moe/v4g8bc.mp4
>>541985477Uh oh xD
>>541985289It’s just a small portion that doesn’t move the needle much and didn’t cause the actual problem VW has.Its as if you fall, break your leg and then complain about a scratch.

>>541964665Europe was doing really well with gas generationits very reliable, it allows you to rapidly change output and the gas was cheapnuclear sometimes take days to change output, so there have to be a plenty of either coal or gas stations to stabilize output. Also nuclear is not really reliable as you might think, EU had to shutdown some of its nuclear generation because the heat cut off cooling water supply. And to shut down nuclear reactor and then restore to previous output would take 2+2 days if conditions are perfect.Coal generation shares most qualities of gas but it doesnt pass eco laws EU signed

>>541961645I have an 06 VW. Super over engineered. Dumb things like cams built in for replacing the headlights. The cams run gears and you use a special tool to spin them to they lock in. The plastic housing broke the first time I replaced the headlights. Cheap plastic everywhere. Stupid harness connectors that require you to squeeze then push together then pull apart, making it almost impossible to disconnect certain harness wires like the hall sensor because you need to somehow get two hands in the small space. Beautiful engine. Amazingly capable. But just overengineered everywhere and cheap plastic crap everywhere. The interior pleather and leather is just rotted. All the buttons the labels are worn off. It's like they spent more money figuring out how to make cheap tacky plastic shit that would fail early. Got a truck from the 70's, all the knobs work fine and labels on them are still clear and the armests and shit aren't rotted apart.It's an allegory for the EU. overengineered by committee to solve old problems that didn't exist and create new problems and designs which require specialized tools for no fucking reason.They deserve to fail.
China scooped up 72% of the worlds new shipyard orders in the first half of 2026 (1,131 ships, 31 million CGT). South Korea holds 19%, the rest - next to nothing. Europe and Japan are out of the game.

>Germany goes war economywhere'st to get supply chain for war materials tho?Africa? fully booked by China.

EU-Mercosur dealing was s a slowpoke: when Brussels thinking for an idea, US already reached final steps of bilateral agreement.South East Asia? China, Japan, South Korea playground. Good luck for EU diplomats trying to out race the rabid aggressive slanty negotiators.Middle East? lol. Good luck striking a deal with muslims while fervently side with Israel. Spain is the only EU member that has guts & actually do something.There are few countries in Europe that has trade surplus with China. One of them is Switzerland
>>541963093wowit's surprising that it's economicali heard that it's profitable to ship middle eastern apples to and from indonesia to get them polished or smth
>>541961645Those are some crazy electricity prices, surely not even the greens in Germany can be delusional enough to think their wind and solar strategy is working?What's worse is that those prices are with Scandinavia and France exporting cheaper electricity to Germany.
>>541993397This is gas, not electricity. OP is just an idiot and mixed all kinds of different things together.In reality VWs problem is not the high energy costs.Maybe OP is a russian shill who wants Germany to buy more russian oil.
>>541961645>four German plants (Emden, Zwickau, Hanover, Neckarsulm) set to lose vehicle production.It's more likely that Germany can not do this and will repurpose those plants to makeshift war material production.Prepare for full scale war on European soil perhaps before the end of the decade.German hands can not rest, can not idle.
>>541962403>he thinks it could not possibly happen to him
>>541962556>Or did it get reversed somehow?Yes, it did.Germans were in love with Obama.
>>541996059So should I buy the dip?
>>541971797I came here to say this. The Boston Consulting group exists solely to set up companies to be juiced for every drop of blood they have by hedge funds. Knowing this ahead of time, I wonder how feasible setting up another short squeeze by the common folk would be. Hell, it already happened to VW once already.
>>541963103>Maybe they should try doing what made them popular and building rock solid machines at a reasonable price for that sort of quality.Antisemitism is illegal, chud.
>>541985248ahmed, go fuck off to your keebab cart
>>541963248Chinese suddenly interested in German factories powered by sky high German energy prices?
>>541962556absolutely not, the moment mutts elect a democrat president Germans will suck america's cock harder than ever before
>>541974142it's not nonsensehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSjMqnH-TNMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLUdaPeuroQ
>>541992477China only picks up domestic orders and whats is left after Korean shipyards are booked. Korean shipyards backlog is over a decade. If Korea had more coast line for more docks, Korea would be #1 for volume. They are #1 for quality and innovation.
>>541981558Ugly but the pieces fit together. This jewish/old aristocracy thing needs to be buried sooner than later.
>>541993164Canada and Australia.
Chinese cars are dogshit plastic crap
>>541998246Chinese keep stealing designs from the Koreans, Japanese and European manufacturers. They can't innovate for themselves.
>>541998496they just hire the best peopleJuanMa López is the Vice President of the XPENG Motors Design Center, leading the overall styling and design evolution for the brand's smart electric vehicles.He is former Head of Exterior Design at Ferrari and former head of Genesis Design Europe. He also worked with Lamborghini, Audi, and SEAT.Design Philosophy: Focuses on combining luxury with functional technology and forward-looking innovation.
As long as I draw breath, BMW will survive and I will continue driving their cars
>>541981075kek
>>541962065Germany also needs a strategic demand destruction initiative at the national level. Nuclear plants, passivhaus building standards, geothermal, solar, etc. The internal demand for external energy needs to drop but in ways that don't require extreme tradeoffs in standards of living.
>>541999077yeah, and hes not a chinkchinkoids ae useless bug people
>>541963248chinks cant make their cars in Europe for a reasonable pricetheir prices are only cheaper because of slave wages in china and subsidies by the chinese communist dictatorshipthe way to beat china is to tariff that shithole to death and cut all western investment in China, which they steal all the time anyway
>>541962602Do not buy mk8s, my buddy's MK7 Has 120k miles from factory and has had 0 issues that had to be serviced by dealer. Just change oil and other maintenance. My Mk4 his 160k, I put 40k on her. Both cars are stick btw. Run like a dream, I have factory ac and it blows cold when it's 110°f out
>>541966415all car makers are valued reltively low, you sandniggerVolkswagen is still dominating the european car market turks and arabs are a tiny part of the german car marketyou stupid fuck
>>541981331Volkwagen sells EVs for 30k now
>>541961645finally they going to shit... stupid over engineered cars made in china
>>541964196Poland invited hundreds of thousands of nonwhites every yearyou live 10 years in the past
>>542000480did you fuck up your VPN, you russian nigger?VW are made in Mexico for decades
>>542000573start making good cars like the beetle, you fucking niggers
>>541962971and thats what will happen, you malding chinkyour entire stealing, cheating shithole will be cut off, unfortunately 20 years too late
>>541963192agreedonly reasonable post in this thread
>>541963292China only can only do that because they ignore climate change, which they can only do so longwhile Germany shoots its own foot trying to bring emissions downChina could never compete with Germany on a level playing field
>>541961645>>541961724Wrong. It's a plan by jews to force Germans back into military production, but for ZOG this time.No cars? Okay make tanks for USrael
>>541961645guess the only here in this story who don't get it? :DVW and the German government plan went fine, they have managed to ruin Germany's industrial engine, created a excuse to fire workers that will be replaced with automation cheaply for VW and the rest, screwed germany economic stability and a great energy deal they had with russia, use russia as excuse for all this, allowing bank friends to seize more private property from citizens, increase the debt and the dependence from all the countries to the ECB,...It is clear that the philanthropic pastors are working on resetting their european farms, but their propagandists from tv don't explain it to the herd.
>>542001370lol...kraut you're brainwashed...i can assure you china can ignore climate change forever.
>>541962191everyone was fine with EU until they started importing third world, fucking retarded kikes just cant stop themselves with the kalergi plan
>>541962065Natural gas was never a big electricity source, it is mostly used for heating in Germany. Germany just decided to go full retard and shut down BOTH coal and nuclear power that used to produce more than half of electricity hoping that renewables would be enough to replace them.
You all are aware you need a "crysis" to sent dead weight into early retirement?The sozialist worker unions made it impossible to shrink a bloated company without existential treat
>>541963248Chinese want to circumvent EU punitive tariffs so they'll move final assembly to cheapshit countries like Spain and Hungary that are still more expensive and less productive than Chinese plants.No one wants to make cars in Germany.A day or two ago I read about a VW exec who sounded downright butthurt that production costs in Hungary are 70% less than in Germany.
>>541995689If anything these are long term plans for in 5+ years. Its just not realistic to shut down neckarsulm over night, they just re-tooled for the a5 and a6 and are in the process of retooling for more new models
>>541965429needs rupert lowe on there
>>541962065Bro, it was not the US that shut down all your nuclear plants. You did this to yourselves with your insane green agenda obsession.
>>541961645Germany is becoming Italy kek.
>>542003152I guess politicians are retarded enough to believe anything, but it doesn't really matter as >>541964459 said you as a citizen can't ever dictate your own destiny. It's all just predetermined yiddish marching orders with a dog and pony pseuo-republic to keep the masses feeling like they consented to these things and give them a false sense of hope that they can ever do anything within the system to change things for the better.It also just shows how much jews prioritize destroying White nations over anything else even if it spells out their end as well. They built up China, did absolutely nothing to even put Western nations in a position to be at a parity after weakening them, they just handed everything over and made it so when China stopped playing ball as much with jews they now can't do anything about it.It's kind of hard to ever know how things are really going in China but they're never going to be stupid enough to have many tens of millions of 70-80 IQ nogs, arabs, and jeets over there that they prop up with massive spending/debt.Things are getting so bad over here and in Europe all these rats are going to start fleeing to those areas of Patagonia that they've burnt down.
>>541966339This
>>541962495this is a baiting cia nigger
>>541978370Noooo they must put more touch bullshit and screens and put shitty dct gearbox that crap itself every 50k km. This is the german way. Oh and you must remove the engine to the timing chain that last less than timing belt from 20 years ago but cost 3 times more.
>>542005238What about putting the timing chain on the rear of the engine so you have to pull the whole engine out to replace it??
>>542005322Naturally very german. Oh we made things that lasted on 40 years old card from recycled biodegradable plastic that melts on the sun and start to crack in 5-6 years. Also don't forget the engine will burn oil (it is designed this way) but we will make the oil replacement period 30k km to burn even more oil in 2 years. The most basic 80hp Fabia cost more than middle of a road 170hp octavia from 5 years ago. Totally normal. Don't know why people do not buy cars anymore.
>>541962065Why the fuck don't they have a nuclear program like France? WHY would you rely on a cold war enemy for your power? Might as well rely on China for your power, like all their solar and batteries. Never rely on another country for your power, that makes you weak.
>>541972860You didn't ask because you were blind to the reality. How is that working out for you?Why can't you have a good nuclear power program like France? You have nothing else.
>>541961645Well I'm sure this makes the Poles happy.
>>541961645>>541962065Ah yes, the pro-Russia Pole and AfD voter. Volkswagen is going bankrupt because EV is taking over so the German "premium" car business model is crumbling. To suggest it's because gas is more expensive is absurd. You can literally check financial statements online (notice how OP doesn't back his claims by citing OpEx figures ; just links random articles instead and talks about "leaks").
>>541962726>>541965495>Your articles dont say anything about gas.OP is a known shill for Putinist Russia.
>>541978370>K70ftfy
>>541962495New Atlas baldy goes into this. This plan for the LNG ships and transfer stations has been in the works for like a decade now. It never made any economic sense because Russian gas was so much cheaper.You laugh at the Germs for not having the Russian gas while leaving out who took out Nordstream 2.https://www.aa.com.tr/en/eurasia/ukrainian-suspect-arrested-in-croatia-over-nord-stream-pipeline-blasts/4031830Ukraine does what it's jewsa masters tell it like a loyal goyim
As an American I am glad our evil Jewish masters are losing power. I am willing to be homeless to that effect.
>>541980366It's to keep any competition out of the market. Big corpos lobby the government for strict guidelines that only the big fags can possibly deal with. Capitalism is shit.>inb4 you must like communismWrong but that doesn't mean Capitalism is any better they're just different flavors of shit.
>>541968771 VW has dark factories since 1990 by. Layoff 2/3ds off staff will improve productivity because most is full automatic and only problem is staff is largest customer (Jahrewagen).t. contractor, but never ever again
>>541961645i unironically don't care. i'm getting out of here.the majority of the country are woke libtards who don't need no economy or education or energy. let them sit this one out by sharing a cave and a fireplace with a bunch of moohammads.when i checked the comment section about VW's troubles on shitbook the libtards were bashing the VW employees for not working for free so the cars can be sold cheaper. lowering taxes doesn't even come to their minds because "taxes are for all of us!" is what they all unironically believe, despite blatant theft of taxes into private pockets by their beloved socialist politicians.the silver lining is that without goymany financing the EU will be finished soon.
>>542008084Where are you planning to go? Just general area, no need for specifics.
>>542008178i originally intended to stay in europe, but with the EU's new plans to grab EU citizen's savings, it seems there's no other choice but to flee.other emigrating germs have told me good things about the philippines, paraguay or even the US. i haven't decided yet 100%. i want to visit some of these places first.
