So combined Volkswagen, Audi, ŠKODA, SEAT and Porsche have outsold Tesla? Doesn't really sound like an achievement, except if you're in charge of mergers and acquisitions.

They're all the same company. Volkswagen owns 12 automotive brands:

And Volkswagen will soon be making further investments in Chinese brands:

They are now, but they weren't originally, they bought their first place. I doubt the general public knows.
I really don't know what you're talking about. Volkswagen is a big car company and they invest in their car business. There is nothing surprising about that.
