"Premium" strategy..... means lower volumes. They also sold fewer BT-50's - people are buying the real thing (the Isuzu) instead, now that supply issues have eased 17:28 Mitsubishi's growth is due to the ASX and Eclipse Cross. Both are up ~40%. The Triton is only up ~4%. Elly May!

Queensland health have replaced their fleet of 30 ICE vehicles with 30 EV's. They employ someone to rotate the vehicles to be charged on the one charger they have. No one wants to use these cars so they use their own ICE cars and claim the milage. So the EV's sit in the car park being rotated back and forth to be charged. Is this progress?.

I don't know how it is in Aus, but in the US, the government needs to change it's "CAFE" rules for manufacturer fleet "gas milage" so that it no longer favours tanks and SUVs. People want to be safe, but they also want to keep their money, so paying less for the vehicle and less to run it, aka, more smaller vehicles that are not drowning in a sea of 4 ton SUVs. Cherry climbed 166%, on how many sales?

I guess you haven't got it yet? All new cars sold in Europe are required to be equipped with speed limiters from this week - and UK models are likely to have them installed too. As of Sunday 7 July 2024, new vehicles will need to have Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems fitted as standard as part of an EU safety regulation mandate. If the car is travelling over the limit, the system can ultimately reduce the engine power until the legal speed is met. Cars built from 2022 will also have their software updated on a service visit to also comply with the rules.

Tesla needs to woo the younger Hominids with factory installed Wi-Fi Hi-Fi exhaust systems, that cackle crackle backfire and explode loudly, as they mime those close ratio,double declutch downshifts, along their daily work commute.

One other comment I read sums it up. The biggest winner finance companies. Back in the day before HP and leasing people had to save and buy things. But those things were way cheaper in relation to earnings. If you made them too dear few could ever buy. Now think of a number, double it, and wack it on HP. Spend a large part of your life paying extortionate interest. Somehow I never got into that.

It would be intruiging to note the corporate/private split of new car purchases. As the politicians want us to live in a recession, it would be great to see if used car sales have gone on full Saturn V or increased competition with the Silent Service?

Considering Tesla was only founded in 2003 and the model Y in 2019 its pretty impressive they now sit in the top 10 for Australian market for a battery only car. I think in the near future you'll only see battery and hybrid cars.

I think Elons mistake was taking the cigarette lighter out- and turning the car into one.

Anyone thinking of buying a used BEV say 6 -13 years old, don't just don't. I just watched a video about a Tesla that had a battery/fuse error code (they didn't state the code) however. They removed the battery pack and found the fuse cover with critical rust and condensation inside the compartment that was open to the internals of the cell packs. The battery pack had an additional battery pack module to the main unit They open that and it too had condensation and corrosion on some of the cell packs and terminal straps. Their solution was to blow heated air through the pack to dry it out and reseal it. Problem is they didn't/couldn't open the main battery pack so they don't know if all moisture was gone and what the state of the cell casings were. The cooling pipes that they could see in the battery also had signs of corrosion. This could easily be the used EV that ends up on the car lot. The problem is if all the moisture was not removed and the pack hermetically sealed then the cells will continue to corrode and the battery fail and what type of failure. A lights out or a Space Shuttle Columbia level of failure. By the time a BEV is that old the chances of getting a fresh and brand new battery pack are going to be rare and expensive and who knows what corners will be cut in the after market versions.

I can't help but wonder why some of the brands bother. They sell so few there can hardly be any profit in them but more importantly why do people bother with some of the more obscure brands when there is no dealer network and even in places where a dealer can be found there is no incentive for them to keep parts as they sell so few of the brand and any model. I expect to see a winnowing of the market over the next few years as NVES and falling sales for some brands make it inevitable that they will leave the market leaving those who have bought their cars with vehicles that are worth nothing.
