I think the point is not that VW should stop selling gas-powered cars completely yet, but that they should at least match Tesla in investments and strategy when it comes to EVs. Right now they are far behind, and that's beyond shameful - it could cost them the company in 10-15 years, because EVs are the future. And they are still not quite acting like they are.

They're still treating EVs as another "market segment" and that's a problem - for them.

In this market, even 3 or 5 years is not that far behind. People don't switch cars like they switch cellphones.

Even though you don't like it, EVs are still a market segment. There are still lots of use cases where EVs don't make sense.

Very true. There is a lot of information we re missing to just say all german auto makers are making the wrong decision. They could as well time their entry into EV market in order to make the most of it. Wait for battery price to go cheaper, infrastructure to get better and so on.
