I think it’s a good idea, it’ll get people away from the ICE Sorrento/Santa Fe/Peugeot 5008’s of the world
In the original German article it doesn’t sound like it’s already set in stone:
> Commenting on the Board of Management’s plans to sell the ID.6 in Europe as well, the spokesman said: “When models are successful in one market, it is only natural that market opportunities in other regions are also analyzed. Of course, this also applies to the seven-seat SUV ID.6. Volkswagen could also use it to open up a new market segment in Europe. A decision on whether the ID.6 will be launched on the European market has not yet been made.”
> A spokesman for the works council spoke of “speculation” which he could not comment on. However, it was said in employee representative circles that the issue is not currently on the table, nor would there be any approval for it. However, this would be necessary from the works council. And as is well known, hardly anything works in Wolfsburg without the approval of the powerful employee representatives.
Why can’t they produce it in European plants? It’s based on the same MEB platform. Traditional companies need to be much more efficient with their capital spending. They are spending much more money than Tesla fortoo less volume.
If European countries starts allowing this, many automobile companies will start moving their production to china and import cars to Europe.
Also, isn’t Chinese operations part owned by Chinese companies? Why does VW let others take the share for the models that they want to sell in Europe?
Looks like they would get same blame with Renault who brings Chinese made Danica to market. Oh, I forget Tesla importing Chinese models before Berlin GF4 starts.
