Of course, because after years overpricing for cars nobody needed they've starter to see China is eating their market share.
If you bought a VW, and Audi or a MB in the last 7-8 years you know what I mean.
- Teever 1y agoIs China eating their market share with open source?
- RealityVoid 1y agoEh, kind of, but not really. They do have some open source initiatives here and there, but OSS is not the differentiator. They are just better executers, IMO.
- okokwhatever 1y agoNot because open source but for not joining forces as a german industry and fighting each other to prevail by themselves meanwhile the chinese were using their technology (mostly sent to China by the german automakers) to produce cheaper and better cars (EVs)
- giantg2 1y agoI'm not sure if there's a substantial dent in existing markets, but I would guess that as the Chinese market (the largest in the world) continues to expand, non-chinese makers will have a lower share of the overall global market. I don't think it has anything to do with open source though.
- v5v3 1y ago>"overpricing for cars nobody needed" If the car sells, it is priced at what the customer feels is reasonable. It is not for you to moan as you disagree. And before the Chinese, there were the Koreans and others who came challenging so it's never been for easy. I am objectively speaking, I only buy used cars after the major depreciation has happened.
- mqus 1y ago> If the car sells But it doesn't[1]. And people agree, the main reason is: the cars (esp. the lower price ranges) are too expensive. [1] https://www.politico.eu/article/brutal-financial-results-volkswagen-group-germany/ https://www.politico.eu/article/brutal-financial-results-vol...
