Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico are in similar situation. China is a complex beast because the do have significant government involvement.
I like cars, I like driving (I don’t like cars being forced upon me), but the incumbent automakers have really failed to innovate. Tesla bit the market 13 years ago and some increased their focus on v8 and trucks and others just waited to see what happens and now the executives are acting surprised when China comes to eat them alive, while counting their bonuses.
At what point do governments tell the companies that they need to pivot, or unions that they need to reskill?

I’d pay good money for an electric hot hatch. Untill ten, I’ll keep my 20 year old car.
CPO Taycan Cross Turismo. Amazing car, especially after depreciation
