To see Germany’s future, look at its cars

German cars are overhyped, and overpriced … at least 30% …

Germany is going to lose market share to new EV makers for the next decade and then get bought by a foreign competitor. They have a MASSIVE weakness in making software.

Nice

As a Japanese petrolhead, the downfall of German automobiles is saddening.

Sono Cars is bankrupt by now

Please tell me people understand how environmentally destructive EVs are. Think about the emissions-heavy mining for rare earths needed to manufacture batteries. By all means, go buy an EV if you want, but don’t buy it for the environment. EVs are not “green” whatsoever!

can you eat cars? we will soon have other problems. At least Germany has water and can expand organic farming very quickly. these will be the new goods that the world needs. and the price will rise.

But they've turned into unreliable 💩boxes

Fax 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Huge chalenghes that lead to no income. What the end in mind. Some people are well, poor on judgement. Impression here is that Germany has no solutions for the future.

The dogs in the street are saying that German cars aren’t as reliable as they once were, I myself drive a Toyota and it I so remarkably reliable.

Thanks to the US and her Anglo brothers for starting Ukraine crisis and cutting cheap Russian Gas.

So ... is The Economist pushing for a government controlled economy? What happened to "free market" and "get government out of business"? Oh, right, it's all a lie.

Germany still hasn't got rid of all the Muslim immigrants so they are f***

merkle must go down in germany;s history as GERMANY'S DISASTER

Merkel. WEF SHILL.

By that meter, Britain is already finished.

🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿

TO SEE WERE IT ALL WENT WRONG IN GERMANY ****/LOOK TO MERKEL

Anyone believing that a short term switch to electric vehicles will be a saviour is deluded. There is a list of problems associated with EVs that will not be solved in the short term. Charging is a big issue but size and weight of EVs, parking, electricity supply, cost and not least the real question of whether a switch to EVs is better overall environmentally are some of the problems. People are being lured into buying EVs now and a great many are regretting it. It’s currently a huge con enabling governments to use it as an indicator of their commitment to ‘go green’.

The Germans are a highly competent race. Always have been . I don’t think they are capable of promptly correcting any misalignments. Unlike other countries, like the UK.

Germany's future is Turkish-Arabic! 😂😂

To look at their future, look at their migrants

It would be far too superficial, easy and narrow-minded to judge Germany's future by only looking at its cars. It is much more educated to differentiate.

Market share

🇩🇪

Japan is basically like Germany when it comes to car industry but its far more under the USA.

Japan and Germany have a economy before china and the USA.

With Germany’s inability to compete with EVs, this tells us all we need to know about the future of Germany. It’s scary.

Dont make propaganda... German Cars are best

The point when they got too greedy and packed 100k cars full of plastic to break right after warranty...

That was it... its over..!! No one with clear mind buy a german car nowdays.. except for people who dont know what to do with money..

GERMAN SHEPHERD LEGALIZE CANNABIS LIKE DUTCH??? WHY NO MONEY TO FUND GERMAN TRAIN LIKE MEGLEV??? ASK CHINA LAHHH USA ALSO LACK MONEY AND LAND,,, ITS CARS SALES ALSO NOT HIGH IN ASIA ESPECIALLY HIGH GAS

The problem for old school products is others can replicate and improve them tremendously. A few countries can produce them competitively. Germany is not "sovereign" when it comes to relationship with US and EU. At the end, EU can override Germany's decision.

Last year German automotive industry in EV sector has grown much faster than Tesla and other EV companies!

German car makers were protected from competition for too long. They let themselves go.

The cause of global warming is not known despite decades of scientific studies; however, global warming reached its reported peak of 1.1°C in 1991 then was reevaluated to about 1°C in 1992 where it has stayed. In 2022 official global warming was reported at 1.06°C. All greenhouse radiant energy from the earth is completely absorbed in earth's greenhouse effect within 20 meters of the radiating surface and would be the same if water vapor were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This is high school level science.

You worry about Germany hahaha, they’re gonna be fine…take care of Africa.

More digital than Merkel? So Schultz?😂😂

Merkel destroyed her country by joining the EU and throwing open the borders

Shifting to electric cars? BIG mistake

Merkle, Germany's Kamala 🐷....

Fast forward to today! Too slow to move and it’s all falling apart!
-Thanks Elon

No one want evs lol

👌👌

The software bandwagon left decades ago. My wife works in the US defense industry. Software R&D comprised 80% of a new US military product in the 90's. I wonder what it is now. Take the SpaceX Starship booster catch. That was all software. But the software developers had to understand space flight dynamics, engine manipulation, etc. In reality a dual degree person. Both software and engineering.

More people discover East German cars as they are much easier to maintain. Given that, they even started producing spare parts for these GDR-cars. It could be a sign of the future. At least for East Germany. Anyway, just saying...
