I was quite impressed with Volkswagen with their EV lineup, and honestly they seemed to be ahead of the curve in EV Adoption. The ID.3, ID.4, and an upcoming ID.2 on the way all seemed like great strategic moves. I regret that aside from the ID.4, we likely won't see any of the other models in the US (are we even getting the ID.Buzz?). However, the articles coming out of late, have been painting a more pessimistic view of the company (declining demand, production down, layoffs, etc.).

This huge turnaround has proven to be shocking, if not quite disappointing. I also heard some people here about the BMW's EV lineup as well, though I'm not sure how widespread the issue is (would love to hear your thoughts).

So, my follow-up questions:

1. Which traditional auto manufacturers are making the best strategic decisions of late?

2. Piggybacking of #1: Are American Auto manufacturers like GM and Ford making a comeback and redeeming themselves of the bad reputation in the ICE realm?

3. Which Japanese car manufacturer is likely going to bounce back the best? It seems Nissan was the earlierst adopter, with the Leaf, and the Ariya also has had good reviews. I'm unsure about Honda though...they seem to go back and forth.
