Congratulations to Herbert Diess for inviting Musk and thanks to Elon for supporting the German auto industry.

Great move for both of you!
Looking at the body language and facial expressions/gestures, I would have to say that the interest in listening and learning looks different 😕
CEO Diess "We in this room have to deliver and make sure that VW is a powerful and successful group by the end of the decade. I am very happy with my team. It's my dream team, the best in the auto industry. I would like to thank you all"

Dream team? 🤨
Do the management and the board of directors show interest when they listen to Elon and Herbert?
When the VW Group CEO stands far away from the team behind a desk trying to motivate ... 🙄
Working on emails while Elon explains how he can keep his job

Mercedes Benz is opening up its operating system and integrating Google Maps & YouTube. With this move, they lose access to the data and the most valuable business that automakers have in the BEV era

A big strategic mistake, but given their small size they had no other choice
With the strategic partnership, data and functions from Google Maps will flow into the company's own navigation system in the future

With this deal, Mercedes is tying itself more closely to Google than any other car manufacturer
Mercedes now wants to be the first manufacturer to integrate Google Maps data into its cars under its own logo. Mercedes is more than likely to pay a large sum for the license fees.

Google boss Sundar Pichai held out the prospect of even more functions for Mercedes...

Volkswagen has decided to develop all the "central components" for its upcoming electric car drives itself. In addition to the battery and the electric motor, this also includes the pulse inverter and the thermal management system. The automaker cites considerable efficiency ...
... and cost advantages as the reason, saying that only "by optimally matching the individual components is it possible to achieve up to 20 percent greater efficiency." ...
In today's announcement, VW describes itself as one of the "very few automakers in the world that will be able to offer a holistically optimized overall system in the future".

VW BOD Schmall said, VW is aiming to become the technology leader in electric cars'

Another leader 😂

On Monday DUH won a test case against the German Transport Authority KBA over throttled emissions control in diesel cars. The KBA had allowed in 2016 that diesel vehicles after a software update were allowed back on the roads that are actually banned because of the diesel scandal
The manufacturers used a software patch that the KBA approved and that 5 years later the court ruled was not legal

5 years in which ICE vehicles continued to pollute people & nature

The Deutsche Umwelthilfe DUH called the ruling a "breakthrough against illegal defeat devices."
The environmental organization announced that it would now take action against all Euro 5 and 6a+b diesel emissions from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and foreign diesel manufacturers

At present, he said, lawsuits are already pending against 118 approvals ...

Tesla has been successful in its appeals to the state of Brandenburg, not only with a requirement to monitor groundwater the State Environmental Agency also overturned an ancillary provision for 🇩🇪 Giga Berlin on the handling of substances hazardous to water
Less red tape for Tesla, which does not have to provide detailed information where Tesla has classified substances in a lower hazard class due to a small proportion

This allows Tesla to classify the water hazard class for these mixtures without having to submit analyses
Among other things, the authorties had also removed the requirement that the Strausberg-Erkner Water Board be involved in all groundwater-related issues

As a result, the association filed a lawsuit

An illustration why I don't believe in Hydrogen for airplanes. Hydrogen’s poor volumetric density makes it a very bad energy carrier using it as a fuel and that does not even include all efficiency you loose along the supply chain.
You need an aircraft that can carry 97471 L of liquid hydrogen in a special insulated tank and the temperature of hydrogen must be maintained at -253 deg C and the liquid hydrogen tanks can only be in the aircraft fuselage or external tanks on pylons - a major engineering issue
For compressed hydrogen, this looks even worse because for 6,820 kg of compressed hydrogen to transport 230 MWh of energy, we would need 162,336 L tank capacity

There is a common misconception that hydrogen will help us achieve climate neutrality.

Tesla has put today its 🇩🇪 Giga Berlin battery factory into operation. This was announced by Brandenburg's Minister of Economic Jörg Steinbach in the state parliament on Wednesday

However, the company produces only individual battery components due to the IRA act
Contrary to original plans Tesla has relocated further production steps to the US for the time being bc tax incentives there make business conditions more favorable. It's overdue that the EU commission is starting a similar program because what they proposed so far is not on par
"The building is humming, it's full"

The important thing is to which manufacturing step the 🔋 parts are completed. That is already far advanced, he said: "That what is manufactured there as a preliminary product at the place loads this building completamente at the place"
