I'm with you Dr.......
Though regards to the mention re "cost cutting" and Fox mentioned is going the less quality/shorter lifespan route, occured long before EV investment came into the equation.
Sure the OE's had been starting the cost reports/studies etcetc and then Tesla hit the OE's jumped farfar quicker re EV's but the product/car quality as we knew it changed long before.
OE's building plants in new lower labour cost countries - components from new sources reducing their cost etcetcetc
Even as late as our local Falcon for eg, the AU interior was of higher quality than what was delivered for BSeries from 02.
The euros was far above them all in quality look where that went, long before EV/Tesla launched in 08.
