More evidence that they're changing their mind on where the demand is going to be coming from - 14Bn EV investment:

That'll be instead of the 20Bn they were going to invest in diesel/other EVs a couple of years back then

The key quote here from here is this: "we want to electrify people again for Audi and at the same time be an agile and very efficient company".

Good news. Now dismantle your existing ICE supply chain and the fat and inefficient dealer network, and I'll believe it completely and then I'll think of buying Audi once again. Until then, I'm off to look at an actual Model 3 in the flesh on Friday in Manchester
