Back on Topic, Ford are using some of VW’s architecture for their European EV’s.

How do we think that’ll go.

I have my opinion

Like everything with wheels that involves VAG - ****ful.

They struggle to make normal cars that last more than 5 years before they become economic write offs let alone EVs that they're brand new to.

They already replacing the VW battery with their own supply, the MEB control unit is gone as are motors and drives…

Guess what happened to all of the parts supplies that VW thought it would make a profit on…
