Volkswagen’s N.1 puts it in the crosshairs Tesla The choice to invest in three different Gigafactories at once A serious mistake, which will weaken the carmaker and allow Volkswagen to overtake its rival.
He said it Herbert Diess during a recent interview with Reuters. The CEO has no doubts, overtaking Volkswagen at Tesla in the electric car sector it is a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’. Basically, we’ll talk about it in a few years. Diess states that Volkswagen could take the lead in the segment as early as the end of 2025, while some reports are even more optimistic and even speak of 2024.
With 936,000 cars sold in 2021, Tesla is the largest manufacturer of electric cars in the world.
“Elon Musk – Diess notes – is in the awkward position of having to start up two very complex plants simultaneously, namely those in Austin and Berlin.” And not alone. “Then he also has to expand the factory in Shanghai and this choice does the trick” will weaken Terribly”.
Diess continues his reasoning. The giant factories of Berlin and Austin? “I’m a source sucking up Tesla’s money.” So less money to invest in technology. But also fewer resources to upgrade the line-up and include the first massive entry-level models.
Translated? Tesla is leaving its side open to the competition, which it certainly won’t sit on. In all this, Volkswagen just has to keep going and the results will come soon.
