People say bushwhack in the US. It means not using an established trail when out in the woods/wilderness.

An anecdote I remember was that during the 2008 recession German precision manufacturers did not lay off their workers. They reduced hours, sent a bunch to continuing education programs, and retooled for even more high tech manufacturing. W

I think the more objective measure might be the holes in the domestic supply chain that represent vulnerability and a lack of robustness.

Are you saying Jeff Bezos and Boeing/ULA had less resources than Elon did? They had far more resources. And SpaceX hires from the same pool of talent as they do.

For the most part Musk (and his businesses) and the administration, as well as US auto manufacturers, are playing nice now and realize they need to work together. The sniping between them has decreased a lot and is mostly coming from elsewh

There are similar reports from people like Jim Cantrell, Robert Meuller, and Jim Keller. They aren't blowhards and don't need to kiss anyone's ass.

The price and hype are based in part on not being a manufacturing company but the business model is certainly based on being a manufacturing company. And the manufacturing segment of both that is expanding. Just because the stock price is r

It is fairly typical for poor, undeveloped countries to use a more centrally planned economy. The sheer lack of capital, as well as business and industrial know-how dictates that. Socialism and Communist parties were relevant in the 70s and

For short term profit that I can walk away with? That is very different from building long term value. Both are profit. One profits from creation and has long term recurring benefits, the other profits from extraction, which only happens on

>Wealth is transfer from one part of the economic system to another So no wealth is created? The vast amount of medical technology and technology in general would immediately show that this statement is completely false.

Then where are their PHEVs? Their Prime vehicles have long waitlists and are produced in relatively small numbers. Either they can't make the margins with them or their access to battery supplies is very limited.

There is a huge market for PHEVs if Toyota had the competency to take it. Theor Prime vehicles are in high demand, just not made in large numbers for whatever reason. Tacoma and 4Runner-like trucks with a PHEV drive train would sell like cr

Then where are all their Prime vehicles that have had a huge waitlist for years? Toyota is just not delivering on the EV front at all. They could be cleaning up by stealing some of the Model Y customers back by selling a ton of RAV4s, espec

When things like the pandemic and disrupted supply chains happen, companies sometimes need to move in a different direction than planned. Or is Tesla's massive growth in the last few years and sales numbers not enough to convince you t

Someone should tell the Japanese auto industry. They didn't get the memo.

And that is unlikely to change any time soon not because they just want to wait for 2027 for unknown reasons despite massive demand for EVs and PHEVs that they still can't make in large numbers.

Weird how the largest pandemic in 100 years, supply chain issues, and huge demand for the Model Y made changing plans a good idea. That is what competent leaders do; make decisions in the best interest of the company, rather than adhere to

They haven't been very good about scaling up production of their Prime vehicles. Lots of people would love to buy them and have for years.

Their current hybrids are great and very much in demand, especially the Prime models. Now if only Toyota could make anywhere near enough to satisfy that demand they would be doing really well. And an equivalent truck as capable and reliable

Considering the Model Y may very well outsell the Corolla this year, that doesn't look like it is the case any more. While they generally are more expensive up front, the total cost of ownership can end up less when you calculate fuel

Tesla also released the Model Y 4 years ago and now it may outsell the Corolla this year. What do the waitlist and sales for the RAV4 or Prius Primes look like?

by SyzygistSix 3y ago
So the Model Y is beginning to outsell the Corolla but Toyota is just going to wait until 2027 to launch this for reasons? Because they are so awesome they don't mind other companies eating their lunch? That isn't believable.
