literally what happened?
>>546256990Export all your production to China, they steal all your shit and IP>how could this happen to us ??
Liberalism
>>546256990They build shit cars for heinous prices they get what they fucking deserve
Germans like Japs don't speak out of turn. You can walk all over them.
>shut down nuclear overnight>nord stream gets bombed>heavily regulated>treat your migrant labor from EE and balkans like they're semi human while china and US treat their laborers as bug slaves with no rights
>>546256990They cannot compete with Chink EVs in the chinese market. In EU they lobbied for tariffs that make a 10k chink car sell for 20k.They are all dividend-oriented stocks, so there's no compounding reality-breaking effects like you see with tesla and other growth oriented stocks.
>>546257097This. Charging 100,000$ for roughly two grand worth of metal and plastic is a racket that needs to be stopped already
>>546256990stupid fucking rules
>>546257228My neighbors Audi has a plastic fucking oil pan
Nearly every high end Mercedes (AMG) now is a fucking 2.0t cranked to the absolute maximum just waiting to explode
>>546256990cucked beyond any possibility to make gas powered cars
>>546257347Pretty much every turbocharged car is.Nobody makes a decent car anymore.
>>546257400EU is a commie death cult.
>>546256990Unironically: energy and climate policy forces a series of regulations and costs which make vehicle manufacture prohibitively expensive. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if automobiles operated on a closed market, but they don't. German car manufacturers have to deal with cars from the former eastern bloc who are of higher and higher quality, alongside an international market of Chinese carmakers who are straight up taking over. Here in Australia, even a year ago, there were no chinese cars. None. You never saw them. Now when I go to the shopping center, in the carpark roughly 1/6 cars is of a chinese brand. Demand hasn't really gone up, and yet they're everywhere. German automanufacturers are in the middle of a perfect storm of political bullshit, energy shortages, overregulation, and a non-viable international market.
>literally what happened?They fell for the "(((GLOBALISM))) WILL GIVE YOU CHEAP, H. D. (HEEB DECEPTION) TALMUDVISIONS, GOYEEM... ALL WE NEED ARE FOR YOU TO HAND OVER YOUR LIVELIHOODS TO THE LOWEST BIDDERS, AND YOUR SKILLS AND PURCHASING POWER THEREWITH!">Western cars have bespoke parts which are replaced individually, supporting manufacturing and skills>Burn You Deads make plug-in "modules" containing 10+ components, which can be used across multiple models, cutting costs and removing the need for myriad suppliers... + unlimited CCP subsidiesThe Art of War™ of war is to defeat your enemy without a fight. However, when your enemy is the kike greedy afflicted laowai, all one has to do is make cheap shit knock-offs of whatever they make, and then sell it 1% cheaper.
>>546257442Yeah even japs hopped on the turbo bandwagon, not much NA left.
>>546256990The same thing that happened to every country that used to build things. Neoliberalism. Outsource all manufacturing, financialize the economy, and be long dead before anyone feels the consequences. Pretty much the Thatcher/Reagan playbook
>>546256990not german but the answer is always taxing too heavily in order to fund 90 year old boomers's healthcare and gibs to blacks
>>546257475>energy and climate policy forces a series of regulations and costs which make vehicle manufacture prohibitively expensive.That's all done for now... It's just a matter of time until the cat gets out for the bag, and like Grotty Cuntberg, the kike controlled governments will have no choice but to about-face on de-industrialising the West; lest they get what happened in Sri Lanka a couple of years back.>spoiler:>they went all-in on something as diametrically antithetical to "climate change" as A. I. is, because they knew the end of the climate scam was nigh
I looked into this when I had investments in Schaeffler AG.They largely got crushed by Climate Change legislation. Pushed into making EV's when Europe has fuck all of the foundational manufacturing to support it and it was a complete disaster. Several years worth of production suffocated by that garbage and the chain-effect to companies like Schaeffler AG who manufactured precision parts, Steel industry etc was bad. Steel industry itself is suffering under Climate regulations so everything just slowed down and became more expensive.Tie that in with inflation and the cars just can't compete on price to average consumers.Their main customer base (high-middle to upper class) have also completely shifted towards Hybrid SUV's or Tesla. A housewife gets more utility out of a Toyota RAV4, it's bigger, safer, cheaper, more reliable and has all of the ergonomic benefits of not being a low, small sedan.Car culture greatly shifted around the turn of the century too with Japan dominating in terms of performance and price, and the older generation that viewed European elegance as prestige getting their licenses revoked for dementia.
>>546257604thats what they use to secure their majority votethe entire point is the owner classwho knows it sucks, and is incompetentand spends its time securing its existenceinstead of whats good for the volkseconomy
>>546257554Mazda has NA, but they run high compression ratios and all that trickster shit.You could probably run:Diesel.500cc per cylinder.Square 1:1 bore and stroke geometry or slightly over-square.4000-ish rpm redline.Naturally aspirated.Indirect-injection (IDI) with a 3-injector configuration per cylinder.Make it an inline 3. Even without a turbo, it could probably get 150nm and 100-120hp since diesels have come a long way since the 1970s.Maybe add a small hybrid system for a total of 200hp and 300nm. Done. But nobody has any clue today. All the big guys are grifting morons and they can't even run the basics of a company.
>>546256990Sanctions against Russia destroyed the german economy. Nordstream and trade ect.
>>546256990"Globalist" kikery and corporate fuckery
>>546257645>They largely got crushed by Climate Change legislationOf course, they did. It was all invisibly inked into the the "China Century" fine print: The de-industrialisation and, thus, impoverishment of the Caucasian world, by way of imposing unfair and unequal stipulations on their industries in the so-called "(((free market)))".Neither Buttrat nor Potemkin Peking -- together, creating orders of magnitude more "GWP" than all the industrial world combined (to say nada of Indonesia burning swathes of forests ever year, releasing more emissions PER DIEM than the entire U. S. industrial sector does in ONE YEAR) -- are not subject to any "climate related mandates" imposed by unelected bodies; not only because they couldn't give a squirt of piss about the psy-op, nor could be forced to submit, even if they ever would pretend to; but, because kikes gave these inbred shit-holes of the plant Earth, indefinite "developing country" status which grants dispensation from any impositions which may "stymie or hamstring development".>the climate 'tard eviscerator equation:>heat insulative effect / GWP (greenhouse warming potential)>CO2 = 1~3 Watts per square metre>H2O (vapour) = 100W/^2>CO2 = 0.04% (400ppm) of atmosphere>H2O = 2~4%>* drum roll *>H2O (vapour) has 1,650 to 10,000 times the GWP of CO2>bonus DLC:>CO2 has a saturation point above which the atmosphere no longer holds it -- releasing it back down to let flora flourish
