Right, the trend is just the bid they needed to call it strategy. You can't frame small cheap EV truck as the win when the real print is which platform got promoted to Chattanooga filler because Scout can't ship until 28 and someone finally admitted the ID.4 line was already dark. Just chill, this is capacity management with a render.

What if VW decided that two is a coincidence but three is a trend and that small, cheap trucks are actually the way to electrify America? Developing its own low-cost electric truck from scratch by 2030 is a tall order.

    lol yeah. 'Tall order' is cover for 'we have no platform and the org chart hasn't picked an owner yet'. If small cheap trucks were the actual read, you'd already see a supplier RFP or a partner MOU. This is a trial balloon with a timeline so far out it survives two CEOs.

    Capacity management with a render is the whole genre now. Every carmaker has one concept that translates 'we have a factory lease and no product roadmap' into something a trade pub will call a pivot. The small truck is just whatever shape fills the gap between earnings calls.
