You're looking at Chinese and Tesla then

The rest are so far behind. Bear on mind these manufacturing plants cannot afford to shut down. If they don't sell their cars they stockpile whilst continuing to make more. Once the plant shuts down the costs of restarting are ridiculous. It also sends a clear message of a company about to collapse

Not everybody seems to be an ardent fanboy ...

Well, it depends how you define "efficient" I suppose. Google suggests that Toyota are the most efficient car producer in the world, in terms of the number od cars produced per employee per year. This seems to me a reasonable assessment of efficiency to me. Although Google claims either Tesla, Fremont or Tesla Gigafactory Shanghai, but, I cannot find any figures for vehicles produced per employee per year.

The most productive Car factory in Europe is widely held to be the Nissan Plant about 3 miles from where I live 🙂

There is profit per car against cost to produce to consider.

It was always commented in the first days of Model 3 being released, how could Tesla make such a car for the money they are selling it. This was from the German automakers

True, that could be another measure of "efficiency", although, personally, I would call that "profitability".

Do you have figures for Profit per car for the major motor manufacturers; and/or Vehicles produced per employee per year?

To me, vehicles produced per employee per year is a better comparison, since it does not involve currency complications, whereas, when comparing "cost to produce", currency movements clearly have an impact, which are not typically within the Companies control.

I came across a video some while ago that discussed the profitability of each manufacturer.

I remember the big legacy automakers were either making virtually no profit or losing thousands per vehicle they sold, depending on the model. Many are still losing per EV they manufacture.

Where as Tesla if I remember are making circa 20-30% profit per car

A link to these pearls of wisdom would be useful.
 
Peter Thiel, founder of Palantir, is the real pupet master.
All depends on which tin foil hat you ask, some of them claim it's Bill gates, Soros . Rotschild, the Illuminati etc. etc.

You could look at the facts and see that both during Brexit as during Trump's last run the campaign for either Brexit or Maga ''24 was just better. Mean Trump has ''worked'' at an Mcdonalds, dumptruck and a few others stunts which where obviously staged as hell but what noteworthy event have the democrats put against it? an presidental candidate who was invisible and when she did show up she didn't come out that strong.
With Brexit was similar Cameron invited and EU boss who went on the threaten with an ''existential crisis'' people rarely respond well to threats, as we have seen.
