VW not doing very well. Why?

Ford F-150 has been gaining traction in Europe since its official launch in early 2023 through a partnership with Hedin Mobility Group. The market for full-size trucks in Europe is relatively small compared to the U.S., but it is growing steadily. Several companies export American beef to the European Union. Tyson Foods Inc.

The Ford F-150 is widely recognized for its quality and reliability. It has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over four decades. The F-150 is known for its impressive towing and hauling capabilities, as well as its durability and performance. It's now being sold legally in the EU, especially Sweden and Germany.

Tesla Y most popular American car in the EU but the full-size Ford F-150 is becoming very popular.

@divinity176 I just listed a dozen of them, including Tyson Foods, the largest in the US. Tyson Foods produces hormone-free beef. Their Open Prairie Natural Angus Beef brand offers beef with no added hormones, antibiotics, or growth promotants.

@divinity176 Tyson Foods exports a significant amount of beef to the European Union. In 2019, an agreement allowed the U.S. to export 35,000 metric tons of hormone-free beef to the EU annually. Tyson Foods, being one of the largest beef producers, plays a substantial role in fulfilling this quota.

@1001Balance Good point, the current tariff on F-150's is 10%. VW decided to make their trucks in the US and Mexico to avoid the tariff. The strategy worked. The high tariff on Volkswagen trucks imported to the United States, known as the "chicken tax," dates back to a trade dispute in the 1960s. When the European Economic Community raised tariffs on imported chicken from the U.S., President Lyndon Johnson retaliated with a 25% tariff on imported trucks and other items. Although the original issue over chickens has been resolved, the tariff remains in place due to political inertia. This tariff restricts competition in the domestic market, allowing U.S. automakers to dominate the market. Volkswagen, like other foreign automakers, has found ways to navigate the 25% "chicken tax" on light trucks imported to the U.S. One common strategy is to build assembly plants in North America. By producing trucks in the U.S. or Mexico, Volkswagen can avoid the high import tariffs. This approach allows them to remain competitive in the U.S. market without incurring the additional costs associated with the tariff.

@ Since the start of the conflict in February 2022, the European Union and its member states have committed approximately $145 billion in financial, military, humanitarian, and refugee assistance to Ukraine Since the start of the conflict in February 2022, the United States has committed approximately $175 billion in aid to Ukraine Search on Co-Pilot. Population of EU 450 million Population of US 340 million NATO has committed $990bn in aid to Ukraine. $158 billion of that comes from the US alone. Total NATO allied population is 956 million. Do the math, the US carries more of the load.

I bet you've never listened to a long-form podcast with Trump.

@ohnemich9334 I agree, Trump's goal is to make it here, sell it there, overcome the imbalance of globalist economic policies over the last 50 years. How we get there is unknown, even to Trump. It's a work in process. The Monroe Doctrine/Manifest Destiny for the Western Hemisphere is also a goal. When you look at world history, the collapse of civilizations, the overreach of resources and dependency on opaque bureaucracies are found at the root of those failures. 18th/19th Century China is a good example. I doubt Trump has a deep intellectual understanding of this history, but more than makes up for it in instinct.

@meretricioussimp7759 F-150 in Sweden costs between 50-100,000 euros. In California same models between $37-75,000 dollars with a 10% sales tax. The comprable model in Europe is the Toyota Hillux, but the F-150 offers so much more; The Ford F-150 and Toyota Hilux are both popular pickup trucks, but they have some differences in capacity: 1. **Towing Capacity**: - **Ford F-150**: The F-150 has a towing capacity ranging from 8,200 to 14,000 pounds, depending on the engine and configuration. - **Toyota Hilux**: The Hilux has a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. 2. **Payload Capacity**: - **Ford F-150**: The F-150 has a payload capacity of up to 3,325 pounds. - **Toyota Hilux**: The Hilux has a payload capacity of up to 2,240 pounds. 3. **Engine Options**: - **Ford F-150**: Offers a variety of engine options, including turbocharged versions that provide ample power and towing capacity. - **Toyota Hilux**: Known for its dependability and off-road capability, the Hilux offers diesel engine options. Overall, the Ford F-150 has a higher towing and payload capacity compared to the Toyota Hilux. However, the Hilux is renowned for its reliability and off-road prowess.

@Yomahagava Americans should not take pride in being Americans. What do you take pride in, if any. Are you against "pride"? Sometimes too much is bad, so I'd say moderation in all things. I America ALL bad?

No, BMW only top in how much the car costs, not the number of cars. Ford tops the list of number. According to the latest available data from S&P Global Mobility for 2023, Ford exported 260,000 American-assembled vehicles to other countries, outpacing all other U.S.-based automakers. That's 30,000 more than BMW.

@1001Balance Tesla is expanding its Berlin plant, known as Gigafactory Berlin. The expansion aims to double the plant's production capacity from 500,000 to 1 million vehicles per year. The expansion includes new facilities for logistics, a battery cell test and recycling lab, and additional infrastructure for storage facilities. Tesla is also working on building a 50 MW solar energy farm at Giga Berlin, supported by a 30 MWh energy storage system powered by Tesla's own Megapack batteries.

@troyamandajames1416 The Hilux can't compete with the F-150 in capacity, we have F-150s on the road for 40 years still working nicely, thank you.

Yeah, Trump didn't lie he made a wish, a moral manifestation of his desire for us all to do better. You don't speak Trump, and willfully refuse to. He lives in your brain rent free.

I'm in California, and with my city included, I pay 10.25% in sales tax. Some in California pay 10.75%, the highest in the nation. California, the bluest of the blue.
