Euronews has been bought by Orbán last year

It’s only a matter of time same happens in the US. Elon has made Tesla brand extremely toxic for anyone other than his fanboys

Potatisen ,

That’s absolutely a factor but it’s also all the issues that are popping up regarding build quality.

Bad deliveries/customer service, issues with door panels, water leaks, general build quality, etc. There are a lot of things right as well but like you said, he’s tainting the image and further putting negative pressure on the brand.

Sacking the charging network team was the killer. It’s going down.

Investors, you’re getting fleeced now.

The investors are the ones who just voted him a ludicrous pay package. They are getting what they deserve

homesweethomeMrL ,

Yup

CosmoNova ,

Not only that but established brands simply have many more production lines that if they switch to fully electrict can outproduce Tesla tenfold.

Yeah it’s a shame because the design was super cool. They were fairly expensive though and you can get basically any other hatchback with much higher range for a fraction of the cost.

Bit early to celebrate isn’t it?

Tesla has sold 178,700 models in Europe through July, compared to BMW, with 97,525,

protist ,

“BMW sold more EVs in Europe than Tesla last month, the first month any company beat Tesla.”

You: “But what about the months before that?!”

vapeloki ,

I just got my BMW i5. The car is provided by my employer. But I would buy it myself. It is well thought out, has a usable dashboard l, head up und so much convenient stuff.

Also, the build quality is great. Compared to the garbage provided by tesla it is a different world

Donkeytown ,

Thank God BMW has its National Socialist era behind it

Janovich ,

No longer do they live in the clouds serving evil and are much more grounded today.

makyo ,

Apparently every major car brand has to go through its fascist phase

sigmaklimgrindset ,

As much as I would love to invest in a BMW, are they still selling subscriptions to access features like dashboard camera recordings and heated seats? I don’t remember if they walked that back, but I don’t trust them enough to not implement it in the future again if they did.

Yup! Just last week it was revealed that they would be doing their adaptive suspension that way: motortrend.com/…/bmw-adaptive-suspension-connecte…

And, like many automakers (but not all) they have ties to forced labor:

nytimes.com/…/senate-bmw-volkswagen-jaguar-land-r…

It appears German and Chinese automakers are the biggest offenders, where companies like Subaru are actively trying to remove it from their supply chains: m.subaru.ca/forced-and-child-labour-report

On January 11, Lear sent letters to BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo and VW AG informing them of the banned components. Despite that notification, in April 2024, after the committee explicitly asked both companies whether they ever “directly or indirectly sourced parts from JWD,” Jaguar Land Rover claimed to be unaware of its links to the manufacturer listed on the UFLPA Entity List, and BMW informed the committee that JWD was not on their “supplier list.” However, after repeated questions from the committee, BMW disclosed that at least 8,000 Mini Cooper cars containing JWD components had been shipped to the United States.
