The real reason Western cars suddenly fell behind (and China is behind it)

BMW once charged drivers $17 a month to use heated seats that were already built into their cars. At first, it seemed like just another ridiculous subscription...

But the deeper I looked, the more it revealed about a much bigger problem.

Europe’s biggest carmakers are losing China. Volkswagen lost the top spot it held for over 25 years. Porsche’s sales have more than halved. And Chinese brands like BYD are now building cheaper, more advanced cars in half the time.

In this video, I uncover how China went from learning from European automakers to overtaking them, why Volkswagen is now paying Chinese companies for their technology, and how Europe’s obsession with squeezing more money from the same car may have helped create its biggest competitor.

Watch until the end to see why the next “European” car you buy may have more Chinese engineering inside it than you think.
