Die Mercedes EV Lüge — Wie Stuttgart Milliarden vernichtet hat

How could Mercedes-Benz invest eleven billion euros in its electric vehicle strategy—and then, three years later, quietly backtrack without a single word of explanation? This video reconstructs the September 2021 decision that transformed the company—and reveals what was already on the table internally in 2022, while the public was still hearing about a planned transformation. In September 2021, at the IAA (Frankfurt Motor Show), Ola Källenius promised that Mercedes-Benz would sell only electric cars by 2030. The stock was trading at seventy-seven euros, nine EQ models were announced, and eleven billion euros were allocated. In 2023, EQS sales fell sixty percent short of target. Dealers were practically giving vehicles away with thirty percent discounts. The EV strategy was quietly scrapped. What board reports from the end of 2022 onward revealed—and why this remained hidden for eighteen months—is the question that Stuttgart has yet to answer publicly. A dealer in Stuttgart-Vaihingen with thirteen unsold EQS vehicles on his lot, a development engineer in Sindelfingen whose engine project is canceled via email, a retiree from Düsseldorf whose stock holdings have shrunk by almost a third in two years: Three stories, one decision.
