Volkswagen defeated Tesla this week, but not in any of the ways you are thinking.
Actress Alyssa Milano traded in her Tesla for a VW EV in protest of Elon Musk's leadership of Twitter.
The move has drawn some accusations of performative activism - which doesn't sound like something a celebrity would do at all, right?
VW has not been a vocal participant in the drama but announced that they are in talks with Taiwan's Foxconn to build Scouts this week.
Foxconn is expanding its operations, currently focused on iPhone assembly, to include EVs. With a goal of 5% market share in EV manufacturing by 2025.
No plans are confirmed, but talks like these have begun, leading to assumptions VW will not build a new North American plant of its own.
