The legacy automakers are facing a real tough time with this transition to electric cars, If they don't do something quick they're going to be overrun by the Chinese automakers.
They're trouncing the big European automakers in the biggest car market in the world, China.
The Chinese are preferring to buy domestic car brands that are much cheaper, of higher quality with much better software that is light years ahead of legacy auto
How times have changed.
Mercedes have just had to knock $33000 off the price of their flagship EQS models to even compete,

The VAG group are advertising for Chinese software designers en masse to get them out of trouble (especially the VW i.d. range) That's never happened before.
The joint ventures there with all the top western brands have paid off with all the major Chinese brands headhunting the top designers over the last 5-6 years.
BYD who make some excellent top quality models are going to swamp Europe with numerous models next year, They've just bought 5 car transporter ships with 4 more on order from South Korean shipyards.
All these cars come with 5star euro NCAP ratings too, I cant see how legacy auto are going to compete.
