? As much evidence you do to back your claim.
I haven’t seen any thing posted that says they need us more than we need them, or that German car manufacturers will ride to our “rescue”. That is Your emotive rhetoric. Certainly nothing about British exceptionalism, it appears to be a fiction of yours

You might think that but in trade deals, everything including the kitchen sink is thrown in. Hence the statement about nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.

that is a well trodden EU trope, for all other nations a trade agreement is based on trade, not politics.

If the UK decided to subsidise its car manufacturers then the Single Market - a key selling point of EU membership - would be damaged by unfair competition from the UK.
In reality, this is highly unlikely as the UK is a high-cost, high-skills country so it should have nothing to fear by agreeing to a level playing field enforceable in British courts.

. You can argue with yourself all day.
You do however, showcase fundamental misunderstanding of the entire, “level playing field” issue.
