VW is shifting production toward Spain to compete with Tesla's costs while ramping EV sales in Germany. The move works because German EV infrastructure has matured enough to absorb volume, and Spain's labor costs are substantially lower than traditional German manufacturing. Legacy automakers can execute volume transitions if they're willing to relocate production and accept compressed margins. Other European manufacturers face pressure to replicate the model or lose share in their home markets.
