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

VW CEO Herbert Dies Speech Wednesday at the Global Leadership summit
Only Top Execs % Board Members are present
"We in this room have to deliver and make sure that VW is a powerful & 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. Why is the boss so nervous all the time, though? Often so pushy and hard? Because I'm worried." It is a "crucial time for the company" right now, with many good decisions having been made...
Diess continued,
"In the old world, we are invincible and successful. But in the new world, that's not guaranteed."
A former Porsche engineer responsible for the Taycan leaked that the battery has a problem with charging power at and below 7.5 kW
It happens that the battery is damaged, and as a result, Porsche has already scrapped a number of Taycan vehicles
Repair is not an option
He explained that they made a mistake in the development of Taycan's charging management system
Several battery fires of the Taycan, as well as the E-tron GT (same platform), could be related to this fatal error
If you own a Taycan make sure it's not charged at 7.5kw or below
Porsche has silently exchanged the Taycans according to my source when the issue happened but it never leaked and was not reported about from the media before
If true then it's a severe safety issue the authorities should go after @BMVI
VW CEO Diess has demanded according to Handelsblatt in a Supervisory Meeting to cut 30,000 jobs
'He spoke about his concern for the future of the company. Costs were not right against the competition. Diess described how he had already experienced the crash of a site once before'
The reason for this is among other things the reorganization and electrification of the Group
According to the Handelsblatt, the supervisory board members were caught off guard by Diess' statement - and subsequently protested "vigorously"
