I'm scratching my head at you believing VW is being "very" quiet. They give pretty regular updates on their Twitter account, break down targets, current production and construction progress by factory, and the company as a whole seems proud of their progress.
For instance Zwickau is at 800 per day for ID.3/ID.4 lines combined, and targeting 1400 this summer for the same (keep in mind it's a five day work week, this annualizes to 330k units). ID.5 is in test production there as well.
I feel like I know roughly as much about what the VW group (including Porsche, Audi etc) is up to as I do about Tesla. Many other car makers are keeping their cards closer to their chest, and it's presumably not because they're holding a winning hand.

- grecy 6y agoThanks, I hadn't seen that twitter account, and as I don't speak German it's difficult to parse.
- reitzensteinm 6y agoMatthias Schmidt is probably worth a follow. He documents industry progress towards the tightening EU emissions regulations, which is a fascinating subject in itself. The electric vehicles subreddit also covers the wider industry in some detail - although often in the form of passive aggressive shitposting between Tesla bulls and bears. https://mobile.twitter.com/auto_schmidt/status/1364938710798786561 https://mobile.twitter.com/auto_schmidt/status/1364938710798...
