The future of Germany's automotive industry is bleak (doomberg.com)

If only China had listened to Doomberg's advice to not go hard on EVs because there's not enough minerals and just focus on hybrids.

But sadly they ignored Doomberg and now rule this important new market at the expense of the countries that listened to Doomberg or a similar fossil fuel shill.


It seems unrealistic to try and compete with Chinese EVs at this point. Only protective tariffs and sanctions will keep them from dominating a market.

I wonder how much of the auto industry manufacturing infrastructure in the US, Japan and Germany can be repurposed for other things like drones, humanoid robots or other machines that can learn and move in the real world.
