Audi Q8 e-tron To be produced in Brussels

https://www.latestcarnews.net/audi-q8-e-tron/

The Q8 e-Tron will rank above the Q4 e-Tron (based on the MEB platform) and Q6 e-Tron (based on the PPE platform). At the moment it is not clear if the new model will use this latest architecture or if instead, it will adopt the new SSP platform, a highly advanced architecture with great flexibility that will allow the Volkswagen Group to develop all kinds of vehicles, from affordable utility vehicles to luxury SUVs.

The Q8 e-Tron is likely to share all kinds of technological advancements with the Landjet, including an arsenal of driving assistants developed in collaboration with Argo AI, Ford’s autonomous driving company, and the Volkswagen Group. Two variants of the Audi model, Bentley and Porsche will also be produced.

Audi wants to build a new electric SUV called the Q8 e-tron at its Brussels plant in 2026. This is said to be the successor to the Audi e-tron, which is to receive another facelift in 2023 and be phased out in 2026.

VW aims to produce one car every 10 hours at the new Wolfsburg plant. An official announcement is expected in December.

Volkswagen plans to construct a new factory near its Wolfsburg headquarters in Germany, the company has revealed. The second plant is set to produce Volkswagen’s upcoming Trinity sedan – the radical EV flagship model set to debut in 2026 – and is aimed at matching the manufacturing efficiency of Tesla’s new gigafactory in Gruenheide, Germany.

• VW eyes matching Tesla’s manufacturing efficiency at new facility
• New factory site awaiting supervisory board’s approval
• Facility to produce up to 2,50,000 units per year

Volkswagen has indicated that it would be cheaper to construct the new factory than to retrofit its existing Wolfsburg site.

No cost estimate for the new plant has been revealed, although Volkswagen says it is aiming for a production time of one car every 10 hours for the Trinity.

Planned factory site awaiting approval from supervisory board

The planned site has been endorsed by the Volkswagen works council, but has yet to gain approval from the carmaker’s supervisory board. The plant is envisioned to produce up to 2,50,000 cars per year, in addition to the 5,00,000-unit annual capacity of Volkswagen’s existing Wolfsburg site.

“We are in talks with the works council,” said Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand, “but the economic conditions have to be created.” A formal announcement outlining further details on the exact site of the new factory is expected in December. “We’re planning greenfield construction: efficient and without limitations by existing structures,” said Brandstätter in a statement to media representatives.

Tesla has announced that its new German gigafactory factory will boast an annual output of up to 5,00,000 cars.

The Trinity is described by Volkswagen as “a highly efficient flat-seat concept with an iconic design”. It is planned to be one of the first Volkswagen models to be based on the company’s new SSP (Scalable Systems Platform). It is claimed to possess greater modularity than Volkswagen's existing MEB structure, while

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

At work, I have a workstation.
