Dear reader, dear reader,
A new Bundestag will be elected on Sunday. On the last few meters of the election campaign, Friedrich Merz (69; CDU) or Christian Lindner (46; FDP): If you want to get out of the crisis, more must be worked in Germany again. It won’t be anything with four -day week and Co.
In one of the largest industrial employers in the state, Volkswagen, one ensures that specialists from birth -strong vintages work less: VW opens its range of old -distance between 1968 employees. What Merz and Lindner would probably say … Our topics would of the week:
How Elon Musk Tesla controls on a crash course.
As with Volkswagen, the dividend is wrestled.
How ZF could be torn out “the heart”.
How Scania boss Christian Levin is in the battery trap.
Topic of the week: Musk-Murks near Tesla
For years, Tesla drove automobile competition in front of him, be it with the electric drive, be it with the software, be it with production methods or direct sales. In the meantime, Volkswagen and Co. are more afraid of the Chinese competitors. The crash course with company boss Elon Musk (53) has a lot to do. Tesla no longer seems to have a top position on its list of priorities. If he is there, Musk provides chaos. At Tesla, you call Musk’s methods, for example: “Inflow and dig in and dig back again.” Another problem: Because of Musk’s political right-winges capades, there is “blank horror”, says a Tesla manager. It is completely unclear whether and how to get out of the misery. My colleague Jonas Rest describes in his inside report, Why could Tesla end up as the “Nokia of the Auto industry”

If you don’t want to buy or finance a car and keep leasing for devils, you could think about an autoabo. This offers more flexible terms. However, the monthly rates often look salts that the number of car subscribers is manageable. The providers probably do not want to decouple themselves from the hard reality on the market forever. According to one report
The subscription start-up Faaren has dropped the average monthly subscription price last year compared to 2023 from 634 to 563 euros.
Number of week: 75
Max Verstappen (27) seems to have booked a subscription to the world championship title in Formula 1. Four times in a row, the Dutch drove to the overall victory in the “most popular annual sports series worldwide”, according to Nielsen Sports. This year the Formula 1 75th anniversary celebrates. My colleague Alexandra Knape rummaged into the numbers and data of the racing series before the start of the new season. Who deserves how much, which team is worth and how much prize money per racing team flows – You will find out here.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (66; SPD), last week, rejected the idea of privatizing the German rail network on the grounds that this would “end as badly as in England where nothing works”. What a hybris. According to an analysis of the “Financial Times” are less frequently delayed in both distant and regional trains in Great Britain than in this country. The data also proves that every interaction with German tracks has a particular risk of punctuality and reliability of the European rail infrastructure. BA (h) nal facts that disenchant the wannabe maker Scholz.
Come through the week well.
Your Christoph Seyerlein
