[QUOTE="VRYALT3R3D, post: 16691304, member: 131770"] All of the major German auto manufacturers have already announced they are transitioning to EVs and they are no longer spending money developing ICE vehicles. ICE is pretty much at the sunset of its existence. OEMs have to keep their strategies flexible and agile. The reality is that manufacturing EVs reduce labour content by 25% and suppliers won't invest in building tooling for a product that will be seeing the end of its run soon. Sure, ICE might be around but "only as local market conditions allow." If traditional automakers don't change, they will be crushed by the EV start ups. Executives at major automakers are acutely aware of that threat and they know that many people within their company don't take the threat seriously. Farley and Diess have laid out the cold-hard facts and made it quite clear that the ugly truth is that the last 100 years of processes are outdated and they need to learn and adapt far more quickly.
