"Car production is about 17% of GDP"

Not sure where you got this number. Actually it's been between 4% and 5% for the last couple of years.

Thanks. I think you’re right.

This is my source: https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/exports-by-category

295B for “vehicles other than railway, tramway”.

I don’t know where the 17% on that page comes from. It’s indeed 6% if you compare it to GDP (4.4T).
