I'm starting to have a hard time seeing why VW wouldn't be begging to partner with Tesla. The positive PR they would get from an association with the Tesla brand might be the only thing that will boost their tarnished reputation at this point.
VW just cancelled their "Tesla killer" electric Phaeton because they don't have the money for "non-essential" projects. This means they don't feel they have the resources to electrify their fleet, so how else are they going to actually meet future emissions standards?
If Tesla is serious about building a GF in Germany as Sigmar Gabriel mentioned, perhaps the government interest in VW would encourage some type of partnership with Tesla.
