Strange comment, since VW group sell by far the most EV cars in EU.
Yet you get a dozen upvotes. You guys are weird. 🤣🤣🤣
In EU they sell well. not in the US, however.
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder why that may be. but incidentally Porsche was the most profitable brand in USA before Trumps stupid tariffs, and Porsche is also VW.
USA can go fuck themselves, they are making themselves irrelevant. Hyundai is also losing profits in USA despite investments:

Hyundai will be fucked over too, it's just a matter of time. VW decided to scale back in USA, instead of fighting the windmills.
I'm not dissing Hyundai, they make OK cars at OK prices, I might actually go for a Hyundai for my next car, but mostly because it's cheaper, if I can find a VW or Skoda Enyaq 80 or 85 at a good price, that's the one I want.
i don't know anything about it. i just looked up VW and looked to see what countries sales were good and bad.
"USA can go fuck themselves, they are making themselves irrelevant."
i did not want to get into a political shit fight, man. i did a DDG search about sales for a car manufacturer. thats all I did.
take it fucking easy, damn. =(
Are you really claiming to be unaware of the shitshow that is USA?
Why not look at a page like this for example?

Hyundai is doing fine, but they are still below VW.
Why choose only a single of the 3 world biggest markets, and incidentally the one where VW is doing worst?
i have no idea what you've gone off about. i did a DDG search. i am not claiming anything.
I'm sorry for doing a search. lol
And for some reason, you search turned up a result that isn't representative, maybe you should be more careful with your searches?
