BYD is in talks with Volkswagen to take over part of the German automaker’s Transparent Factory in Dresden, according to a source familiar with the matter. MG, Xpeng are among other Chinese EV makers interested in utilising VW’s European plants for manufacturing cars
Is this sarcasm? Because if you are not aware, VW has more capacity than they can fill. So they need to get rid of it.
So here the “outsourcing” would be from China to Europe. BYD is looking for a 2nd factory in Europe to make their own cars.
Xpeng is using Magna unused capacity in Austria.
VW and Tesla and other built factories in China - in tech thieves country - they gave technologies to them while weakening industry at home. Decades ago was predicted this situation. Let’s count what other industries outsourced there - just to be prepared.
You really think the leaders in EV tech are just selling cheap knock offs? Lol. We get it “omg China bad” whatever dude get over it.
No, after Musk gave technology - even software - chinese EV are much more sellable than other EV, even teslas.
Pretty sure VW and Tesla made billions selling cars in China. Oh, wait, this is Lemmy, we hate China when they act like US or Germany.
Ok, they made millions. So easily can sell factory too! Money is money.
