Vincent Vandeputte wrote that, in his opinion, leftist critics were trying to downplay the technological advantage that Tesla had demonstrated the day before. He said he could not think of any European car brand that could achieve the same, mentioning Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW, and a brand from Stellantis as examples. He believed that this was precisely the problem. #Tesla #technologie #autoindustrie (translated)

Jura Háček challenged the claim that Petr Pavel took his eighteenth vacation this year, stating that in his opinion it was four. In January, Pavel was supposed to ride motorcycles to Andalusia, where according to Háček, critics embarrassed themselves with the theory that the room in the photo was created by artificial intelligence. In February, he was supposed to go skiing in the Alps for several days; according to Háček, the criticism arose because a police BMW carried the first lady's skis. Pavel was supposed to spend another vacation in the Czech Republic and partly in Poland, and the last one in October in Morocco, with a trip to Černouček. Háček did not count weekend visits to the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the Hungarian Grand Prix as vacations, during which, according to him, Pavel also became known as a photographer. He estimated the total duration of the vacation to be about 25 days. In comparison to Zeman, who according to Háček spent vacations 365 days a year, he described it as an alleged "tragedy." #dezinfluencer #PetrPavel #dovolená (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that BMW plans to cut around 8,000 jobs by the end of 2027 and save one billion euros annually starting in 2028, according to company circles. Individual severance payments could exceed 650,000 euros. Due to high interest, the employee portal temporarily crashed. Boeminghaus cited a sales crisis as the reason: BMW deliveries in China fell by about 25 percent in the third quarter of 2026. The company had already issued a profit warning in June. The voluntary severance program provides for exit dates in March and October 2027. Boeminghaus interpreted the strong demand as a sign that many employees are willing to leave voluntarily despite the difficult situation in the German automotive industry. https://t.co/2O6jCz1zCQ #BMW #Stellenabbau #Automobilindustrie (translated)

Roman Kolář stated that the president did not have to explain his private trips or their cost. He deemed the requests for explanations inappropriate and an intrusion into the president’s privacy; at the same time, he wrote that the president responded to them, but his critics will continue. According to Kolář, the trips did not cost taxpayers anything. He added that the same people should also be interested in the cost of Tomio Okamura's flight from Prague to Slovakia, his trips in an official BMW, and his, according to Kolář, unnecessary trips to China with the communists. He reminded that Okamura, in his view, humiliated Markéta Pekarová and promised that he would not use the BMW. He was also interested in who would cover the damage for the flight to China that Zůna has now canceled. #prezident #soukromí #politika (translated)

The author wrote that employees were leaving BMW while severance payments were still available. VW would have to lay off tens of thousands of employees, and at Daimler Truck, profits were collapsing.
