The Greens have destroyed our automotive industry, and they did it deliberately

@Seebi No, absolutely not!
I'm definitely not a supporter of the Greens, but I'm also not a fan of putting all the responsibility on politicians or a single party. The German automotive industry has failed to adapt to current markets, interests and needs in good time.
To now pretend that politics alone is to blame is, in my view, simple populism.

@Michael-official What needs and interests are you talking about?

Well, it's not just a problem that we haven't been catching up in terms of infrastructure for the last three years and our industry isn't fit either. I would rather say that the whole thing has been overslept for years by the whole of politics.

@Yannikz I don't understand the connection, VW has been forced to build e-junk that nobody wants to buy.

Bullshit. VW itself is slowly admitting that it failed to bring suitable e-models onto the market in time.
Even Porsche is admitting that they are too slow because they can't meet demand properly.
The Asians are taking over the markets in which German manufacturers were once strong with good and attractively priced vehicles, whether hybrid or fully electric.
Habeck had already predicted in 2019 that VW would have problems in China if it didn't adapt and was laughed at for it.
Many years of stubbornness and "we've always done it this way" are the death of German industry, not any policy.
Many other politicians have warned against this.
The engineers at VW also want to change something, but the official mold is stuck in the boardrooms.
I only feel sorry for the employees.

@Staatsmann It's not just about China. It's about the fact that e-scrap has no market. Not in Europe either, nobody wants it. Let the Chinese build their junk and we'll continue to concentrate on combustion engines in Europe and that's that. The punitive tariffs are already going in the right direction

@Seebi well e-car or not, even with 100% punitive tariffs, foreign cars are still cheaper than German ones. manager salaries and a 35-hour week with IG Metall wages for someone on the production line just makes for disproportionately more expensive cars.
