How dangerous is Mercedes' strategy? Mercedes new strategy could dramatically change not just Germany's economy, but Europe's as a whole. After all, the automotive industry is the key economic sector. Mercedes is largely pulling out of the lower segments of small and cheaper cars to refocus on the luxury... show more

Luxury strategy: They changed the C63 AMGs minimum price tag from 72 kEUR to 107 kEUR while going from a V8 to a 4-cylinder plus e-motor. Now they have set up marketing teams to find out, why no one wants to buy that car.

One really wonders how stupid they think the customers are....

Smart Resources2 years ago

So, they make crap cars highly expensive, that only 1% of people can afford.

Dr Pero Micic2 years ago

Yes, kind of :)

I will not own an electric car for a few reasons. 1. Range. 2. Using a fast charge cycle shortens the battery life. 3. Time to charge 4. Replacement battery cost 5. What making the batteries does to the environment 6. Battery Fires I would rather use Propane, Hydrogen or Diesel.

The markt for electric cars already crashed. No one buys them anymore. In the Green M. EU they were highly pushed by economic gifts of the mad governments. This is over. All EU Manuf. know that No one outside EU focusses on EVs. All the German Brands will produce comb Engines

Sales of BEVs keep growing exponentially, in Germany, in Europe, US, China, globally. China leads the transition. Not sure what you mean by "crashed". No such thing is happening. If you refer to VW shutting down production, it is because the demand for VW-EVs is crashing. Not for EVs in general. See here:

Das Segment der bezahlbaren elektrischen Autos werden chinesische Hersteller abdecken.

Dr Pero Micic2 years ago

Die "legacy automakers" werden es noch sehr lange nicht sein. Wenn sie denn den Wandlungsprozess überleben. Tesla wird ab ca. 2025 ein oder zwei sehr preiswerte Modell auf den Markt bringen. Eines davon wird (irgendwann) das Robotaxi sein, das dann nur nach Nutzung berechnet wird und damit (weil ohne Fahrer) denkbar preiswert sein wird.

This is a Mercedes Benz 500 SL R129, and honestly, the original car was already one of Mercedes’ coolest grand tourers. But this build takes it in a completely different direction. The slammed stance, deep dish wheels, blacked out finish and those crazy vertical doors completely changed the personality of the car. And underneath all that show car madness is still a proper 5.0L V8, exactly the kind of old school Mercedes engine you would expect from a 500 SL.

Q: What is the mindset now going into the summer break? "I mean, just try and reset and find some pace is the biggest thing. But on the strategy side, you don't plan a strategy for getting taken out by a back marker. So I can't blame the team at all for that. Just try and improve over the break, have a bit of time to reset and come back again."

🚨🇨🇳🇩🇪 BIG | China has gone from being Germany's biggest automotive success story to its greatest competitive threat. After decades of helping German manufacturers generate enormous profits, China's domestic car industry is now driving one of the deepest crises in the history of Europe's automotive sector. For decades, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz dominated the Chinese market through joint ventures with local partners, earning billions while helping develop China's automotive industry. Today, that strategy has come full circle. Chinese automakers now produce better-equipped and more affordable electric vehicles, while China's slowing car market has triggered a fierce price war that is squeezing both domestic and foreign manufacturers. German brands, once seen as symbols of prestige, are rapidly losing market share to local competitors. The consequences are now being felt across Europe. BMW has announced 8,000 job cuts in Germany by the end of 2027, Mercedes-Benz is pushing employees to work longer hours without higher pay, and Volkswagen is negotiating plans to eliminate up to 100,000 jobs while closing factories. The crisis is becoming an economic and political challenge for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, with Germany's struggling auto industry emerging as a key issue ahead of upcoming state elections. Once the engine of Germany's industrial strength, the country's automotive sector is now confronting its most serious structural challenge in decades. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

The ultimate flex isn’t how fast you go, it’s what you can pull. Watching this Mercedes drag a whole tractor out of the muck is the best ad the brand never paid for. This is how you earn a client's loyalty forever. 🏆

"Strategy is nowhere near going bankrupt, and anybody arguing that is crazy. The real question is, will I do better holding Strategy stock or just owning Bitcoin myself?" Austin Campbell on the question everyone should actually be asking about Strategy "Even if you want the equity, you can just buy an ETF. If you want leverage, you might be able to get it cheaper than what Strategy has done, depending on how you're structuring it" "The real comparison, at least as I'm trying to conceptualize this thing, is between Strategy versus just owning Bitcoin outright"

Satya’s take on the "cognitive loop" is a must-read for the new economy. But instead of just reading about it, we put it to the test. We ran his piece through Simi, and it one-shotted the entire thesis into a perfect explainer video instantly. This is exactly what compounding human and token capital looks like in practice. The fastest way to turn dense strategy into scalable media.

🇺🇸🇩🇪Trump: BMW and Mercedes Weren’t Paying What They Should Have “The European Union has not adhered to it, so we’ve increased tariffs on all cars coming into the United States by 25%, and trucks as well. For years, companies like Mercedes and BMW were sending products into this country without paying what they should have.”

“President Trump would like the war to be over soon. He’s clearly signaling he wants the war to be over soon. But the Iranians have a different strategy. Their strategy is to stretch this out as long as possible. Their strategy is to inflict as much pain on the U.S. and the world economy as possible. And that’s why Trump’s strategy of blockading their blockade really doesn’t make any sense when you think about it. They’re going to blockade the Strait, so we’re going to blockade the Strait to counter their blockade of the Strait? It’s a recipe for continued stalemate.”

Mercedes 500 SE, W126. Powered by the M117 5.0 V8, one of Mercedes’ most durable engines from the era when these cars were built to last decades. Many people still think this is where the S-Class reputation for indestructible engineering really came from. Later S-Classes were also built like tanks, but the W126 avoids a lot of the electrical problems that appeared in newer generations. This generation introduced a lot of luxury and safety equipment for its time: ABS, airbags, climate control, power seats and advanced crash protection. And it still looks exactly like what an S-Class should be. Elegant, solid and unmistakably Mercedes.

It's just amazing this bro bet $4.82 on Mexico losing and won $1832 Mexico won but polymarket is not about the outcome of the event but about what price you bought the bet at and how much you sold it for His best trades: $4.82 > $1832 $13.77 > $1104 $101 > $2297 His profile: And all because he places limit orders to buy at a price of up to 1 cent for small amounts. This story is not about an insider or the successful success of a polymarket trader - he also has losing positions but the result in a month is +75k This is about smart moves, risk reward strategy and more.
