VOLKSWAGEN CEO CRITICIZES TESLA FOR LOW PRODUCTION, LACK OF PROFITS
VW CEO批评Tesla卖没几辆车又赚不到什么钱
Oh, snap
Until Tesla came along, electric cars were mostly glorified golf carts and
one-off garage projects. But with the success of the Model S, Tesla not only
changed how people think of electric vehicles, it also pushed the rest of the
auto industry to take EVs seriously. Because Tesla has established itself as
the most popular electric automaker in the world, you might think legacy
automakers are afraid it will drive them out of business before they can
catch up. Based on CEO Matthias Müller’s recent comments, though, it sounds
like he still thinks it will be a while before Tesla becomes a true threat.
Tesla出现前，电动车通常只是漂亮一点的高尔夫球车，买了一次就不想再买。
但随着Model S的成功，不仅改变了人们对于电动车的印象，
也推动了其他的车厂，让他们认真看待电动车。
因为Tesla使自己成为这世界上最受欢迎的电动车车厂，
你可能会想传统车厂会不会害怕自己在追上之前就出局了。
根据CEO Matthias Muller最近的评论，
听起来他仍然认为Tesla要成为真正威胁前还有一段时间。
During a recent panel discussion on the future of electric cars, the
moderator said something about the attention Tesla gets for selling EVs. And
while he didn’t criticize the cars themselves, Müller took that opportunity
to level some sharp criticisms at Tesla as a company. Specifically, he took
issue with Tesla’s relatively low production volume, continued losses, and
the recent firing of several hundred employees.
在近期一次关于电动车未来的会议讨论中，主持人提到了Tesla
Muller抓住了这个机会批评Tesla车卖的少又烧钱、而且最近还开除了几百名员工
“Now I really need to say a few words about Tesla: With all due respect,
there are some world champions of big announcements in this world – I don’t
want to name names. There are companies that barely sell 80,000 cars a year.
Then there are companies like Volkswagen that sell 11 million cars this year,
and produce a profit of 13 or 14 billion euro. If I am correctly informed,
Tesla each quarter destroys millions of dollars in the three digits, and it
willy-nilly fires its workers. Social responsibility? Please. We should not
get carried away and compare apples with oranges,” said Müller, according
to the Daily Kanban‘s translation.
Muller：
关于Tesla我真的想讲几句话。
恕我直言，在这世界上有些公司在发布重大讯息方面就是世界冠军-我不想明讲是谁
有些公司一年就只卖了8万辆车。
但像VW这样的公司，今年就卖了1100万辆车，而且赚了130或140亿欧元。
如果我的消息没错的话，Tesla每季都是几亿几亿美金的在烧钱，
不管三七二十一的开除员工，说好的社会责任呢？
拜托! 我们不应该被牵着鼻子走还把苹果跟橘子拿来做比较。
This isn’t the first time Müller has dismissed Tesla as a competitor,
either. Back in September, he told CNBC that he doesn’t see Tesla as a
threat to Volkswagen. “We respect any competitor, including Tesla,” he said
at the time. “[But] it seems that their business model is different from
ours.”
这不是第一次Muller驳斥Tesla是一个竞争对手。
在九月时，他跟CNBC说他看不到Tesla对VW的威胁在哪里。
"我们尊敬任何竞争者，包括Tesla。但他们的商业模式似乎跟我们的不同。"
Soon, however, Volkswagen and Tesla will compete much more directly than they
do now. VW recently confirmed plans to produce the I.D. Buzz electric
microbus concept, and by 2025, its plan is to offer at least 30 all-electric
vehicles, including a production version of the Porsche Mission E concept,
which will be aimed directly at the Model S.
==============================================================================
VW CEO看起来很讨厌有人把Tesla捧的太高，甚至是拿来跟VW比较
他应该是认为Tesla就只是间产量不足还在烧钱的小公司，根本不够格跟VW相提并论 XD
但去批评人家因绩效评比而开除了约4-700名员工，说不负社会责任这种话好像骂到自己了
VW去年因为柴油门事件也裁撤了约3万名员工，今年五月也才刚裁掉了一千多人
做为一间创立才刚满14年的新车厂来说，Tesla目前产量不高又烧钱也没什么好奇怪的
Muller这样7pupu的批评，大概是工作压力很大吧...
