Ups: Did the German car manufacturing industry...

...miss something? Maybe this electric car thing? The market has recognized it already, but the Germans are still waiting for governmental subsidies and still pay high dividends instead of investing in R&D/ technology. Now some "big bills" for the this "Diesel Thing" will come in and again, this money won´t be invested. And more threats are around, like trade tariffs...

Looking forward to what will happen, maybe the Germans will wake up like a sleeping lion or just keep sleeping.
