After failing to produce a decent dedicated EV platform for a decade, they are already trying to merge with more successful / innovative Chinese brands and pretty much start to use their platforms.
Kinda sad that even the Porsche EV platform used in Porsche/Audi might end up abandoned in favour of some Chinese tech, makes you wonder how much stale all those "tradition" car brands have become.

I just saw new previews for BYD Seal ... BYD alone might transform European market in a big way, if they manage to get compliant with all those EU regulation and get their distribution together.

I am certainly not worried about BYD, they most likely secured their position when it comes to EV transition, but Ford, the whole VW group and many other brands, I am not so sure if they will all make it in the long run.
