It is always money when it comes to business. Even if the point is reputational, it is still quantified in money. In the end though they secured lambo rights and more importantly not only did they get the VW rights, they must still have it to be pushing out another version of Bee. Given VW is the parent company to Porsche, it seems unlikely it is a reputational or ideological reason to withhold a licence. Therefore, imho, it comes down to money. It is probably just a matter of time.
