I did and do! But ... as I've also been saying, the Bigs have a high probability of being disrupted by NewThing because all of their economics and incentives are around OldThing and most legacy Bigs simply can't change and ride OldThing into the dirt. (see the 3 Bs: Border's Books, Blockbuster, Blackberry)

stein_325i's road & track text says it best: VW's new BEV platform is loser. They're being disrupted.

Munro's underbody review of the car is ... Well, it's stunning that the world's largest auto manufacturer can design & build such a dud.

Overall:

* Ford might have something
* Porsche's doing well & Maybe Audi
* Benz seems to be really kicking it up a notch with their EQS designed from scratch and their kickass seeming AMG hybrids

And then all the startups ... and Tesla.

Right now the 2030 global auto market is Tesla's to lose.
