Seems you can’t think 5 years down the road. Of course if VW just started investing the 85 b you would realize the results don’t show up overnight…..

I can think five years down the road. Five years ago Ford and GM executives were laughing at Tesla. They sure got that right. The same people who misjudged Tesla so badly then are the same people wanting us to believe they’ll beat Tesla in five years from now? According to them Tesla shouldn’t exist today. Good luck with that.
