Reopening and wishful thinking about supply and demand: in Germany, Volkswagen reopened ...but is required to adjust:
"Volkswagen will pause the production of four key models just weeks after reopening its manufacturing headquarters in Germany as anaemic demand for new cars in Europe dashes industry hopes of a quick recovery."

Wondering: as teams in car manufacturing factories are reduced or re-arranged because of lockdown measures and as we can imagine that there will be quite some pressure to hurry up in clearing the backlog of scheduled (postponed) cars (customers are waiting for deliveries), will this whole corona crisis situation affect the build quality of cars built with reduced/re-arranged teams in corona times (rather than a "business as usual" situation with fully operational optimized teams of experienced workers) ? After so-called "
Friday afternoon cars", soon also "Corona cars" (M2 Corona Special) ?
