. >> the volkswagen executives speaking earlier to matt miller on bloomberg.lobal autos reporter, he is the real deal when it comes to carmakers. what i don't understand is that volkswagen is saying things are going to get better. they can the chips back on. and that the share prices is down from 5%. >> they had a fairly low bar to clear. a live concert going into the print about how well they were going to hold up in the third quarter. they did go into the report months and weeks ago really warning about how hard this crisis was going to hit them. they lowered the bar, they clear that far. the analysts were pretty ok with the results today but you have a situation where a company not only beat expectations, but raised guidance, restarted dividends. you look at ford, the look at what tesla just did last week, and is really sort of easy to see that maybe volkswagen is being held to a bit higher standard. >> why? what do they need to do to fix that? >> you here to talk about some of the market brains particularly being a drag. there is a bit of a situation where

is that still a topic of discussion at volkswagen? >> for sure.hat takes time, we have to build up the resources and the landscape in the car really is consolidating. we are coming to higher and more performance units in the car. it could make sense in one of the other area to do your own semiconductor design. we are working on that, this is our way forward not for all semiconductors. the semiconductor content in the cars is growing, 7% to 8% year after year. so there is a lot of silicone going into the car in the future. some of it will be made by our own entities. yvonne: that was the volkswagen ceo herbert diess, speaking with matt miller. a line crossing from china right now -- they have drafted security rules when it comes to overseas data use. a security review of overseas data use. not entirely sure the details behind that and what companies it will impact, but we are seeing more of that regulatory overhang here once again. david: the lack of detailed means we will move things along and we will get an update when we get more details of that

they tend not to announce them in that manner. >> if those guys are ford, gm, volkswagen are leadingging behind? >> good question. it feels like the japanese. it feels like the japanese they are joy toyota others are spending on batteries but they are doing, they are still tied to hybrid electrics. right now it looks like a high cost strategy for both one or 50 a kilowatt hour out that that means a lot. battery costs are supposed to call that means ev's be at or cheaper than gas powered cars and you won't need an while the hybrid strategy y instead of some material make a battery manufacturer? >> great question. battery makers tend to be listed in northeast asia diversified materials companies, the ev boom does not necessarily impact their income statement the way it does. it's a lithium minor, it is one of the largest minors in the world has low cost assets the automakers hit their goals, battery capacity is going to go up tenfold over the next ten years. that will mean a lot more lithium business. >> real quick to have a question before we go? lex first i have to hand it over too b

down about 3% volkswagen has come out saying they are unfortunately going to deliver fewer vehicles this year than hoped, but i spoke to the ceo, and he says that he's confident the worst of the chip crunch is behind us. lastly to ab, which is soaring this morning, shares up more than 7%, they hiked the guidance after beating expectations >> thank you very much. >>> now to some of your top stories this morning, including the latest on democrats racing to get president biden's plans for trillions in government spending over the finish line. bertha combs has more on that this morning this. good morning. >> good morning. president biden is expected to attend a meeting with house democrats this morning, the president delaying his trip to europe for a summit with other world leaders by several hours to personally appeal to progressive members to vote in favor of the stalled infrastructure bill. that bill has already cleared the senate and house speaker nancy pelosi is aiming to hold a vote on it later today democrats are also racing to reach an agreement on the social spending bill after

i don't know where it is today and then you have got volkswagen, that's usually about 160, $170 billion range. that gives you some perspective on how much bigger tesla's market cap is than toyota and folks having aon, which, by the way, are the two largest automakers in the world, far bigger than what tesla is. tesla's annual sales this year, they might hit 48a -- sorry, 885, 890,000 vehicles. they were 490 last year. by comparison you are going to have both toyota and volkswagen, they are going to be well over 8 million vehicles, 9 million vehicles, somewhere in that range depending how much things have been dialed back in terms of product because of the chip crisis bottom line, this is the automaker that really has moment up not just in terms of market cap but in terms of where the industry is headed when it comes to electric vehicles. >> is there -- we had a guest on last week, kelly, you may remember who it was what had a price target of 42. >> it was 150 on tesla. >> 150 on tesla. >> yeah. >> and i guess the question is, at these levels, how, if the at all, does the investment comm

volkswagen is hoping to start producing electric cars that one of its factories sooner than expected.t facility is located in wolfsburg, germany, and it's the largest auto plant in the world. the automaker is hoping electric cars could be developed there by 2024, which is two years earlier than its current target. volkswagen is expected to roll out and electric sedan in germany by 2026 says getting these vehicles there faster would make it more competitive. coming up. the giants remarkable regular season ends in styles force director marc boney is up next with sports coming up tonight on the 10. o'clock news video shows people dragging and robbing a 75 year old victim in the parking lot of the space shopping center. investigators want your help to find that's a good taco. dude. it's a sandwich.

and i also buy it in companies like volkswagen and toyota, even though toyota has talked about hydrogeneen slow to move in electrification. i think all of those global scale companies have the ability to do it. just the profit dynamics haven't followed to this point, and they have just been slow to get involved in that way. tom: lisa abramowicz has the order in for the 2022 hummer h3 ev it-ish and one, priced in at $113,000. can they make an electric car for mere mortals instead of lisa? kevin: eventually, yes. tesla was a good indication of this yesterday. if you look at their average selling price, that was in the mid to upper 40's. so when you think about the way they started with six-figure vehicles, they have sort of moved all the way down to below $50,000. granted, a lot of that volume is going to be china. trans action prices are just lower than they are in the u.s., and the same for europe. but to be able to expand margins as transaction prices get lower and lower, the same thing will happen as global legacy automakers start to scale production of electric vehicles. lisa: do the

german call manufacturing industry is going through particular with regard to semi conductors on the volkswagen, c, e o has been basically land bossing this whole situation because of course they can produce cars that it's not due to their lack of planning is that they didn't know about the semiconductor shortage in advance and the ceo of siemens barbara humped and she's also said, look, this is not a supply economy anymore. busy it's demand economy, there is intense demand. so now to answer your question directly, or that one can do instead of just in time, is to basically analyze one's entire pipeline and say, where have those actual get you to code who other supplies and where are, where is that happening? like too many goods coming from china, you can put your eggs in one basket. i think that is what's happened. it's been too dependent, a one country for cheap labor and for cheap products. and so all of the, obviously, the, the margins of these companies have done very well on the profit side, but now they've suffered from it. so i think you're going to find a lot of companies saying instea
