ack that's not good. This was the most troubling part for me in terms of how it might affect Scout Motors:

"Analysts have warned the combination of pricing pressure, lower dividends from China joint ventures and committed investments will likely leave Volkswagen with a free cash flow close to zero in coming years, boding badly for Porsche SE's financial stability."​

VW having zero free cash flow for years may leave Scout in a bind if it needs a cash infusion. So yea, I agree Scout Motors should go public or take on investments.

Even a rebrand would help a little bit. and not a fake rebrand like the 2019 and 2021 rebrands they did.

they should take a break for a few months or a year and re-evaluate executives and management and just reform everything because something money wise went wrong.

Well hope everyone has a broker account. Looks like VW wont be reaching any agreements come Christmas. So when Scout goes public we have to buy!!!


Not looking good for VW

Companies with billions in net profit having a few billion less in net profit, doesn't mean the sky is falling lol.

VW will still very much be around in 50 years. As will Stellantis.

Everything is absolutely existential crisis these days lol.

And worst case scenario VW spins off to a company called Scout that they help bring to life maybe in common terms they are downsizing either way with the pedigree and the interest someone will bring scout to the streets and trails. Happy Holidays to all.

I did that they are seeking to reach an agreement by tomorrow possibly.

VW And IG Metall. Today they met well into the night. and they came out that they are hoping to seek and agreement come tomorrow. They are coming to agreements on closing factories and wages.

I think VW 's investment in Rivian was strategic so they could ingrate the good of Rivian in the development of Scout. They maybe independent of VW now but I am sure they will be first in line to buy preferred stock once Scout goes public making them a controlling partner. Would you buy the rights to Scout ? Invest heavily and give it away ??

Well considering how VW is right now, with porsche, audi all failing. If i was Scout i would continue to stay far away from VW.

VW owned Scout do you think VW's board didn't protect their interest before they wrote the check and since they we're dealing with a controllable asset I think they are the one with options

Lamborghini is an independent company under VW they aren’t controlled by them. Thats how Scout should continue to be treated. I don’t need VW coming in and ruining them.
