Your insults reveal your insecurity.
They already have a factory in the South Carolina to satisfy their American demand for their cars. They had to build another plant somewhere to satisfy the global increase in demand. They didn't choose to build their plant in the US. LOSING.
Sorry you take them as insults. I see them as observations. Despite the fact that the two factories ( or more ) will be on different soil they are still one company.
I work for a multinational....I think I'm probably a step up on you here.
You dont seem to understand how this works. Ergo the observations/insults.
I am fully aware of their facilities here
and why they feel the need to build elsewhere... It makes them stronger, not weaker.
I did mistakenly think that they were closing down here until I reread the piece.... No matter. It changes nothing.
The jobs you're talking about don't exist yet... Can't lose them because they're not and never will be here.
Ulitmately the company becomes more productive and that can only benefit what business they do here.
They're not building in China to escape a Tariff.... They're building there to cut the bottom line on labor even more. The Tariff excuse is red herring. I'll bet they're looking more at transport costs than Tariffs. Personally I think they, like my company are likely going to rue the day they set up shop there. Lots of nasty surprises.
In any case they headquarter in Munich I believe. So they owe us nothing to begin with. Like I said the Market share here is minimal.
I've been dealing with this for years.
