Sir Rod Stewart is right - I was in South #Essex myself a week ago, having turned off the #A12 on a fruitless search for a loo (I later found one at #Chelmsford), and regularly found myself having to drive almost in the crown of the road to avoid #potholes , and this is in a modest #VW #Polo (stock springs, not lowered or anything like that) - not a #Ferrari (I dread to think how much that would cost if you scraped it, even a millionaire may baulk at the garage bill)

"Wird bald auch bei VW die Auto- in die Rüstungsindustrie umgewandelt? #Grüne, #SPD und #CDU haben sich auf ein Sondervermögen geeinigt. Dieses Sondervermögen lässt sich nicht durch ein paar Kürzungen beim Bürgergeld finanzieren: Reduzierung von Rente, Wegfall eines Feiertags, Anhebung der Mehrwertsteuer - die Kürzungsideen kennen keine Grenze außer die, dass Vermögende von der Rüstungsfinanzierung ausgenommen sind.

Goldgräberstimmung kommt bei den Herrschenden und ihren Lakaien auf und sie haben todbringende Ideen, was mit unseren Geldern passieren soll. Schließlich lässt sich damit Geld verdienen. Macht es Sinn, in einer atomaren Welt der Rüstung, die es ermöglicht, in nur sieben Minuten alles Leben auf diesem Planeten zu zerstören, weiter aufzurüsten? Für Rheinmetall-Chef Armin Papperger und Volkswagen-Chef Oliver Blume ja, denn hier lassen sich auf dem Rücken der Bevölkerung Profite in ungeahntem Ausmaß machen.

Volkswagen-Chef Oliver Blume will den Konzern mit Militäraufgaben betreuen, so der Manager auf der jüngsten Investoren-Konferenz (Auto, Motor Sport, 13. März 2025). Rheinmetall-Chef Armin Papperger hat das VW-Werk in Osnabrück als "gut geeignet" für die Produktion von Rüstungsgütern bezeichnet...."

heise online · Porsche SE: Kein Verkauf von VW-Aktien geplantBy Niklas Jan Engelking

A serial #car #thief has been sent to #jail and banned from #driving after stealing and crashing an #EV converted #VW #Kombi ( Typ2) in #Powys #Wales worth £65 000 as he couldn't handle the vehicles acceleration and skidded on manure on a country road (alas, the vehicle was written off)

(incidentally this seems to be a *really* quick turnaround for a Crown #Court case, from #arrest (and #remand) to jail barely within a month?)

Go to a dealership (They lie fallow, I can attest), or go to the WH Lawn, where #Trump will personally shill for #Musk.

#PamBondi is not kidding. I can attest to that too — Look at #ChicagoPolice stationed comfortably inside a Tesla showroom protecting a private business on taxpayer dime.

I recently encountered several car enthusiasts who dismiss the criticism of #Tesla as a #Fascist car company by saying, “wait till you learn about VW”, or “do you know who Porsche was?”

First of all, two wrongs don’t make a right. The hypothetical existence of other Fascist companies does not excuse the existence of another.

Second, Volkswagen Auto Group acknowledges their past, condemns it, and work to repair their evil (volkswagen-group.com/de/histor). While Ford the car company doesn’t directly address Henry Ford’s antisemitism on their website, the head of the Ford Foundation (which owns non-voting shares of FMC) has explicitly condemned it (fordfoundation.org/news-and-st).

Their acknowledgement of past evil, and their explicit opposition to it, is an important distinction between these Hitler-era companies and Tesla today. Elon’s current embrace of #Fascism should have caused Tesla to reject and fire him on the spot, but they have not. That is materially different.
