@nasdaq30000: "Tesla fires people whenever it feels like it." That was Volkswagen's moral high ground in 2017. The same speech mocked Tesla for selling just 80,000–100,000 cars a year, while Volkswagen boasted 11 million. The message was simple: Tesla was too small to matter. That arrogance aged spectacularly badly. Today, #Volkswagen is the one cutting jobs, shutting down production, and scrambling to defend its position. Tesla didn't need 11 million cars to change the industry. It only needed to make the old playbook obsolete.
