[@FanBelt]

Nonsense. There are no VW engines, old or new, petrol or diesel, that need engine removal to change a thermostat. Most require removal of several items to gain access to the thermostat housing. The airbox, alternator, hoses, turbo hose, etc, but that’s all. You don’t have to pull the engine out.

[@oceanwave4502]

German engineering: overpriced (thanks to 4-day workweek and the likes), over-engineering (thanks to being too conservative and an aging population because old people don't want to step out of comfort-zone and try new things in other areas).

As European, I do not understand why VW cars cost in the USA less than here in Germany. European salaries are smaller than in the USA, taxes are higher.

The UK did the same thing in the 1970s and 80s they simply shut down all of our industry and exported it to SE Asia. This made the UK a low wage service based economy which favours the already rich whilst disenfranchising the working class. Its happening all over the west even the USA.

[@rogerhull5632]

One more case of weak management and lack of insight costing workers their jobs.

[@paddycoleman1472]

As an owner of VW and Audi vehicles for decades, the cause of their current woes can be summed up in one word… complacency. In the past VAG products were renowned for their quality, innovation and value and they traded off this with great skill. Alas, the management became complacent and saw an opportunity to make vast sums of money by watering down these values. Eventually you get to a point where your products and services are simply no longer competitive (Intel has a similar story). VAG need to get back to basics and put the customer at the centre and build high quality, innovative vehicles that offer exceptional value.

[@mojesimore8054]

Employees by VW cost 65-80€/h in Germany, VW plant in Hungary 18€/h... Speed of production is also a problem: 1 employee by VW makes 17 cars a year, by Toyota 26 cars a year, by GM 46 cars a year. Vacation in VW Germany 32-35 days a year, 14 days national holdays plus ~5-10 sick leaves per year, so in summ 3 months no work per year. It was just a metter of time to come to this situation... Oh, one more thing Toyota produces smiliar like VW around 10M cars a year but with 50% of employees as VW... just crazy! Love VW but this is sick.

[@bobwallace9753]

Some of us thought that the period from 2025 to 2030 would see great turmoil in the legacy vehicle industry as EVs took larger and larger shares of the market, while legacy scrambled to figure out how to make desirable EVs. Looks like it started a bit earlier. We weren't predicting how rapidly battery prices would drop A linear vs. exponential type error.

[@marianbiznesu1899]

VAG and other legacy/ ICE makers have lost in China. VAG sells today half of their peak in 2018 in China. They used to have 50% of their profit there. The same would be on markets outside USA and EU.

[@MrChiangching]

This is because the US blew up the pipeline.

[@oceanwave4502]

The legacy industry in Germany is particularly difficult to change because Germans are conservative and aging fast. They hesitate in trying new things or taking risks.

[@marianbiznesu1899]

They are in strategic WC. They have no ability to produce competetive EVs, they have 14 000 000 production capacity but produce 9 000 000 cars, they are loosing marketshare in China and outside USA and EU at great speed. EV growth rate is 28% worldwide... People buy hybrids from Toyota or wait for Chinese brands to make all cars more affordable.

[@amandagrant4331]

They need to protect the future income of top management.

[@sandcrabfin]

VW is not some tech company running on somebody else's infrastructure so they can't scale down their business in one minute. VW is based on Germany that is know to have to a very strict labor laws so they can't do anything on that front in a whim in Germany. VW also clearly sees that they have practically lost Chinese market as it is quite evident that China's retaliation on EU electric car tariffs will be harsh. In the worst case I wouldn't rule out some soft of modern version of 2012 anti japanese demonstrations that would be against some EU countries and especially against EU brands. Basically when you have a crisis like this in your hands it is just plainly stupid to base your actions on last quarter results in the business that has a huge burden from legacy technology that is loosing its value day by day and in 5 year timescale turning from asset to liability.

[@marianbiznesu1899]

@sandcrabfin From asset to liability - well said. VAG made a strategic mistake: they were promoting diesel instead of massive investment into EV and/or hybrids. Generally speaking Germany is one of the best in mechanical solutions but it is not good at digital technology adoption.

There is a huge difference in money spent on investments that may return more in the long term than wasting money on wages that returns you nothing as that employee can just stand around doing nothing. Anyone with a financial adviser or smart enough to know how to handle finances will understand the difference. If VW wants to stay alive they either need to shut down factories to lower overall costs or just keep all factories running full tilt and go broke very quickly and all the employees lose their jobs and not just some, no one other than the EMployees and VW give a damn, sure I liked my VW caddy and the Polo I bought for my Grand Daughter is a great little car, but had VW not been available, I would have bought her a Jazz or a Yarris as she wanted a small car. No one will miss VW when they are gone, no more than people in Australia miss Chrysler or Ford or GM when they packed up their factories and left, what we didn't miss was the hundreds of millions the Government wasted on those Companies trying to keep them valid in a market place they couldn't compete in, they couldn't build a car worth a damn that anyone other than a fan boy would buy and sales showed this, even with Japanese Companies building all the small car options they showed off as their own. The market place determines what is viable and what isn't and these days Salesman have no sway over a persons choice, unlike the sway they used to have before the Internet as now people can see the lies and BS that salesman spin.

Not old growth forest or habitat for important species. There's a reason Germany's far right AfD party (not my favorite, but ..) won a lot of votes recently. It's because a lot of folks just want a commonsensical approach to governance. Germans live in a pampered state that's become unsustainable.
