The ultimate issue is that China will just get more expensive to deal with as time goes on-either geopolitically or in actual costs. Everything is going to get more expensive because there isn't places that are under developed that are stable enough to handle high end manufacturing. China is in the middle of a demographic issue along with the rest of the world, with its population getting older and older and less babies being born. The US is about 5-10 years behind the rest of the world in that regard. Its starting to cripple Germany and other EU countries (which have other issues are being exasperated by this) economies, not to mention overly aggressive regulations.    The world is ultimately becoming less interconnected because the US doesn't want to be the worlds ocean police anymore. Too many countries got "lazy and fat" because of that and need to figure out their path forward on how they are going to secure energy etc. going forward, unless they are willing to pull there weight (see Japan and Australia for example). Why do you think the US (right or wrong) is pushing certain things in North and South America? Because there is going to be a decupling of the current world order. I've heard Cuba becoming the new China in the New World since they are basically at 1950 era tech but have a well educated but under paid workforce, but there are other political considerations to play out there. 

My daughter would love that!

The reality is that multinationals have offshored a lot of jobs and value adding to places like China and India. I get it, lower wages = higher profits while letting them take the hit on rising CO2 emissions but honestly, this has been going on for the past 30-40 years but the only time western governments seem to object is when it comes to technology. The train left the station a long time ago and chances of returning any manufacturing to the USA is slim as most people want the lowest priced products and that’s hard to do when you pay decent wages and contend with local regulations and environmental issues….

Has anyone had these beeps occur when turning the wheel to the left.  Even if the wheel is turned 1° it does it.   All steering wheel buttons work,  horn works, no error messages or lights on instrument cluster.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.     20260909_120251_1.mp4

Also, this is the perception that VW Group board members are willing to accept today, stemming today’s losses also does nothing to improve competing against the Chinese.   VW execs have been warning that the group has too many of everything for years, I think this is only the beginning of a downward trend…cheaper vehicles or go bankrupt.
