VW's transition to a model where they retain ownership of their fleet is ominous for legacy auto companies and possibly fatal for dealerships. If and when transportation as a service becomes dominant, car ownership will become obsolete, and the fleet of millions of vehicles will be a stranded asset.

[@jwstolk]

In theory VW could do the leasing through their dealer network, but if they chose not to, it's a nice way to cut out the dealers. Once gone, VW could extend the leasing options with normal sales.

EV owning NZer here. Lars isn’t presenting all the info. One reason the recently elected right wing govt dropped the tax rebates on EVs was because the rebates were too popular (a lot more than had been budgeted for). The EV road user tax was always going to be implemented as the previous govt had planned it. Petrol cars pay through fuel tax but in 2027 all vehicles will move to road a user tax model so it should be directly comparable then. These policies had been seeding exercises to get EVs into the economy and you might say thaey have served that purpose. Remember, Elon is not in favour of any subsidies. Note: I did not vote for this govt.

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

@@TimTheSandmanNZ We do not have tax rebates in Austria. We just do not pay CO2 taxes on EVs that is all. Privateers get a additional incentive from the state. We company users do not get anything. We all have to pay road taxes for the highways. I personally recommend 1 Eurocent/ton and km driven on ANY road for EVERY vehicle. That would be fair for everybody. Everybody must pay taxes for electricity. Fossils pay 51% taxes, for electricty it is 21,8%

@@TimTheSandmanNZ Excellent. (Kiwi here) Yes, it makes sense that BEV;s pay RUC's since a tax is levied on Petrol for Road repairs/maintenance. The amount charged versus ICE/Diesal could be currently debated. But as you stated, that was always going to happen. I thought our Government (whichever Party/ies) would be doing all it can to wean off our dependance on Oil Imports. Given that Hydro provides around 80-85% of our Electricity, we should make full use of it. Apparently not! LOL This just reflects the short sighted approach of our Political Parties.

While I can’t disagree that there are chargers in the Midwest if you look across that northern area, there’s a lot of infrastructure that needs to be built in South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming even Wisconsin in Minnesota in the northern half, etc. The town that I live in doesn’t have electric chargers at all available public or private at facilities. Yes, you can charge at home but the electrical grid, especially in the co-op which is the electrical outside the town most areas don’t have the electrical grid infrastructure to handle all the electrical requirements for a 200 V system most homes are 100 amp to 150 amp and need to be upgraded to 200 amp in order for them to charge efficiently at home otherwise they’re stuck to 120 at 100 A with a few that still have the old system that’s less than 100 Amps So I guess what I’m saying is some need the infrastructure of not at home charging in order to make it work for them.

[@user299792]

Owning a car costs at least 250-300 $ a month, even for a used car. Payments for the credit or you have to save money for buying a new car when the old one is scrap. Insurance, car taxes.

I read this article a few months ago, where they interviewed a truck driver who test drove the Tesla semi. He said that whoever designed this did not know anything about being a truck driver. Since the driver sits in the middle of the cab, he can't lean out the window to hand over his manifest, like normal. He's got to get out of the vehicle to interact. He also said that the space behind the driver's seat is not made for sleeping. So, you either have to sleep in your seat or outside the cab. When you look at it, he's right. But, the semi was built to be driverless anyway, so it's not surprising the designers missed the mark. There will be some hype, but in the end, the semi will be a dud.

Manifests are going paperless.. 😂😂 Who doesn't know now what's going on with semi driving ..😂

I hope you understand economics 101 a little better than it appears you do. Love your show, but subsidies are paid by someone. Even governments get their money from the public. Even when this money is borrowed resulting in inflation 101. There is a cost and society will pay that cost. We read books and look at fallen societies, yet we still fail to see the lessons we need to learn and implement. The US is repeating ancient Roman policies. If we continue down this road, who knows. The CCP is subsidizing their EV manufacturers. They will have to choose 5 or 6 companies and let the rest fall by the wayside. That is coming in the near future. Their best manufacturing advantage is little or no regulations other than support the CCP. That's the major reason why they are much cheaper than we are in the USA. China is about to collapse from it's debt. It's crazy stupid how they run their country. Europeans in general have lost their minds over woke BS and you will also pay the price in your societies for this policy. Sorry guys. I hope you wise up sooner than later. Best wishes in this endeavor.

Maybe it’s you who need a few refresher courses. Not all government borrowing results in inflation. China is not about to collapse or go bankrupt; countries in control of their currencies don’t.

Lars comprehends Ec just fine! Gov leaders?

[@markplott4820]

how about LESS government , a Guaranteed LIMITED Government.

[@admarsandbeyond]

Funny how so many people think China Communist Party works its subjects like slaves for their benefit, to provide EVs to the West for cheap. China is selling us the rope to hang ourselves and some useful idiots cheer about cheap trinkets.

20:12 But what about pedestrian safety!? What if a Tesla semi hits a pedestrian? Will they be fine? If not, then how can Tesla send Semis to Europe?! Europe has more pedestrians struck by cars and trucks than any other country in the world. Pedestrians do not look both ways crossing busy streets, they just walk in front of moving cars and trucks because even if they are hit by a vehicle, they will be fine. Cybertruck is not legal in Europe, how can Semi be legal?! This is insanity!

[@patmcdaniel2016]

It has the worlds best (as tested by Euroendcap) software. What is the question again?

[@alexmckenna1171]

What if any lorry hits a pedestrian? Same as..

[@casperhansen826]

​@@alexmckenna1171It will most likely be Lorry 1 Pedestrian 0

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

What if aliens hijack Superchargers? What if Chicken Little turns into a terrorist bombing carnivores? Oh, my!
