David Rubenstein is a pleasure to watch interview people----such a great sense of humor. Really enjoy his shows. I drive a 1999 Mercedes E320 with 135K miles. Love my E Class.
@@makani5894 Thank you for your response, if Daimler manages to get the tech part as competive as Tesla has, they will clearly be the champions of tomorrow, hopefully Ola will manage.
Makani I am from this Region and it is really amazing dir mechanical engineering and mechanics :) in every little village you have companies, work shops, engineers which is really great (in school times I build with friends an electric Kettcar and people could help us with also CNC milling etc :) The only thing holding us down I feel like is the Gouvernement and regulations ... . And of course we are not Silicon Valley, but I would say we are the Silicon Valley of mechanical engineering ... Now I am also studying mechanical engineering, but in Switzerland

Rubenstein is a very good host where he never interrupt when guest answering and never challenge guest answer plus his humor make the show such a fun to watch
David, I love your interviews, and I have a little suggestion for you that might help your program grow at a much faster pace in terms of popularity (and revenues). I've seen that most of your interviewees are CEOs and top-level managers of companies based in the West. That's dope. But I'd say that there is a world of incredibly intelligent folks working as CEOs in Asia, Middle East, India, and even in countries that seldom make it to prominence such as South Africa, Pakistan, Iran, etc. You may invite the folks who are leading the markets in their respective countries. That would give your show a truly global dimension, and would also make it a source of unprecedented information about doing business and achieving success in various different countries of the world. The profundity of such an initiative would be mammoth, I believe.
Ola love your strategic style of scaling by making daiimler distinct from mercedes. More like chuck robbins style of specific Visions and goals. Would be interesting to hear what process you had to go through to remove the german tradition of mercedes ceos. You will always have Tesla on your heels yet your cars are classic luxury but at times with an authentic almosr Medieval atmoshere yet plush classic😊
gustre it is actually ridiculous, Daimler’s amount of sold cars is more 20 times as high, it just shows that American corporates are traditionally higher capitalised on the market than Europeans.. for example JPM has "only" 100 billion and Allianz 150 billion in revenue but JPM‘s market cap is 8 times as high
@@mnd.7953 market cap is based on expectations of profits. JPMs profits after taxes have been more than 3x compared to Allianz. It's the same with Tesla and Daimler. Markets expect Tesla to make more in profits than Daimler the next 20 years. And I agree that Tesla's valuation seems ridiculous but we will see in the next 5 to 10 years. They are banking a lot on just the battery manufacturing.
All these male clothes mean so much. Like they're still stuck in "Memoirs of a Geisha." "You were born in this caste, so only certain males could wear nice clothes."
With this clown at the helm... I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NEW MERCEDES...after being loyal for so long.. he will destroy the brand and what it all means.
What a waste of time. Speaking with the CEO mostly about bullshit topics. So many interesting and challenging questions could be asked yet wasting time on trying to be funny.
As a german, I can't see Daimler get close to Tesla any time soon. In the new era, you have to be a software company first and a car producer second. Daimler has outsourced the most important part of the upcoming 'next-gen' car industy: the software required to run intelligent cars. They have to make a massive shift and become a software company. I just can't see that happen any time soon (as a german software engineer).
As a German, I can say: the train for Daimler's (independent) future has long left the station... some day they might get closer to tesla - but unfortunately as a part of a Geely owned portfolio, made in china - just like the corona virus
My uncles naturally can't wear what Caucasians or Koreans wear. Which is why I complain about younger, Vietnamese males shopping, cosplaying, and talking.
Ola Källenius is no longer the first non-German CEO of Mercedes... He has also had German citizenship since July 10, 2023... so "the world is right again"... the Mercedes boss has a German passport ...😂
I am german and for me is sad to see that the CEO of Daimler won´t say the name "Tesla" who is the benchmark for electric cars, and their software today. To ignore the competitor is not the right way. It´s the biggest global industrial change in this bussines and you must "give a fuck" of your shareholders for the next 10 years. If your shareholders don´t understand this step you have the wrong !!! In this time of change you must complete reset your mind and old strategie or you loose
Mercedes has been fighting against electric cars for decades and still invest heavily in fossil fuel technology. Dont be fooled by the charming personality. Mercedes' have terrible resale value and low standards. Only half their fleet electric by 2030? Tesla and many others are 100% in 2020.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII Daimler does not have a single production-ready pure electric vehicle platform. Their promises are pipe-dream fairy tales of a severely indebted and poorly run company desperate tp keep it's current customers from ending their leases and switching to an actual experienced EV manufacturer with far more advanced technology and there's more than one.
This is what you can ultimately hire as a ceo, balanced, smart, humble and funny, great interview good job david
I just can agree with that! :)

Keep great work Ola..
I'm waiting to change my old Mercedes to new one.
Stuttgart ...home of Daimler, Porsche and Bosch... what an economically powerful city
What would you prefer, Stuttgart or Silicon Valley?

David, thanks for posting this. You're interview gives me a sense of comfort always.
Ola is such a fantastic and intelligent guy, I’m extremely confident that he’ll make the right progress to get Daimler ready for the future!

The Dull Genius great suggestions but I think the trouble he has is that not all of these people will do interviews
Haha sir, please don’t assume. Many will. Some may not. That’s not a problem. I’m sure the ones who’ll do would be a great addition.
I saw CEO of Didi and CEO from UAE
@Jack Redford what decade are you living in?
"What is the cheapest price that you can pay to get a Mercedes?" he asks.
"Just order a taxi."
I wish there were more questions on self driving cars, cars subscription, and Trucks
Cool! I did not know he was swedish.
Well articulate and funny. 👍
@Lady Yes it’s
Nice to meet you here, how are you today?
One of the best interviews I've seen in a while
Wise words by a wise man.
I just love this show !
20:35 Is walking an option？
Thanks David!! Your doing an amazing job.
Best Chanel I watch - Bloomberg
Ola is one very sharp CEO
Missing ZETSCHE 👴🏻 , he was a really leader.
Funniest two men I’ve seen in 2020
if you understand investing, Daimler is one of the biggest buys in the world
very nice interview David
He is 50?? He looks much much younger! Fantastic Interview.
Is walking an option? Funny 😀
And Davis is a well accomplished person .
Fantastic. He never mentions names of the "other" companies.
Yes, that´s really bad to ignore the competitor!

Seems like a decent chap
Nice interview!
CEO'S should not advertise their company in an interview they should genuinely tell about themselves &their company
Compare a GLB (Mexico) and a C-Klass (Germany)you will see and feel the quality difference.
excellent....loved this video. keep sharing.. #iTVMentorTalk #HemantBatra
@david rubenstein bring on peter theil!
I'm still laughing about the joke of your car hahaha...what a wit.
hmm was a litel provications being ceo of volvo?? 🤔🤔🤔

Hello Sir. welcome to Chili’s, what’s your name? Ola. Oh sorry, cuál es su nombre?
DR in peak form right here lol
Great intelligence from Mercedes-Benz CEO to be so articulate and confident in spite of that awful stupid “interviewer”.
With this clown at the helm... I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NEW MERCEDES...after being loyal for so long.. he will destroy the brand and what it all means.
don't get used to this fool - he's just a placeholder for Li Shufu of Geely, I am afraid
Doesn't daimler own a bunch of Tesla?
Michael Heider they did, silly fellow bought 10 %. for 50 mil and sold for 500 mil in 2013. Would have been worth 10 Bill now
When I was 23 in California,
my mother couldn't understand why I wanted to wear Caucasian clothes either.
Everything is very recent.
From today Mercedes would be the better investment
Intresting interview, but I'm afraid it was kind of advertising in this market (Covid-19).
