    Seeing that Richard has gone through their extensive car tests himself, wouldn't that make him an certified VW car?

      Good point, I'd say he passed all of them. I assume he'd be a Polo? Because, you know, size :P

    Impressive for sure. There is another video that shows how customers can take delivery of their new car from the factory... and it is automated as well.👍

    I dealt with three of those elements when I hauled trash. Heat, rain, and wind. Now I work inside a freezer that gets down to -20 degrees. Know how Richard Hammond felt inside the chamber.

    So it was the robots that lied about the mpg. They've also seemed to simulate cars that suck.

    VW built such a big brand, they forgot about designing part of building a car

    there are a few things vw does to keep a competitive edge. too bad you didn't address their history.

    • @ExtraVictory
      @ExtraVictory Рік тому

      What history lmfao. The fact that they have 800 billion dollars in assets? The fact that they own every nice car brand from Lambo to Bugatti? Bentley? The overwhelming success and wealth of their brand and the insane scale of this plant? Geez, maybe you just don't admire success. As an American born abroad in Japan I just love success and efficiency.

      why do people always turn to this topic, as if there wouldn't be anything else to say about us...
      that headshake was a 'headshake of disapproval'. the joke they were making was that the german is saying to himself "this hammond-guy, absolutely crazy. look at him. he will collapse the entire building if we let him."
