What plants are the other 300,000 Skoda assembled in usually, is it China or was there stock already built being delivered in 2018?

I would have thought the main problem in 2018 was where to park all those finished cars that couldn't be sold because of the WLTP fiasco/lack of planning 

That and VW Group getting rid of suppliers of engine parts and other parts like interior because the Manufacturers and Suppliers had enough of VW Groups behaviour.

Then there were the Engineers that VW Group lost because they were scared to work for a dodgy employer that would pass the buck downwards.

The other Car Manufacturer in the Czech Republic seemed able to assemble vehicles and get them delivered, but maybe they pay better.

Has the head of Skoda tried making excuses for turning out Friday cars on any day of the week.

Skoda CZ need to get a grip, and so does Skoda UK and the head of it ROD McLEOD.  Sort out official dealerships and after sales.

Or unsold diesel models made for stock. Basic models with little or no options.

Sounds like a taxi drivers wet dream
