Would be interesting to hear you develop the thesis "one a company matures out of the innovation phase, they enter the value extraction phase during which they minimize innovation and maximize profits"

Who wants to bet ASUS was the main manufacturer telling intel "oh yea, well totally test these power limits before release for ya, no problem" all through 13th and 14th gen, if not before.

Blah blah blah yes.

Yet everyone still buys from them.

Thanks for the professional presentation.

Amazon recruiters kept calling me and asked me why I won’t talk to them. I told them that I have no interest in their abusive FANG interview process.

He is conflating two issues into one. He is saying that the EV market is crashing, and the OEMs are losing money on each car sold. Yes, they are, but that is due to their incorrect pricing and inability to make a cheaper product. Let's look at numbers from last quarter: General Motors ranked #1 with almost 600,000 vehicles sold. Vs. Tesla's vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to over 386,800 units. Was it less than the previous year? Yes, it is also more than 50% of the 6th largest automaker in the world with 15 assembly plants vs. Tesla 6. Tesla also may have lowered its price, but it makes a profit on all vehicles except the cybertruck. That is because it is new. The same is true for all new launches with any manufacturer of a new vehicle brand. Ev's sales are slowing down from nearly 100% increase each year. Are omd making the same persentage increas evry year. The answer is “no”.

Elon musk is the richest African

After watcing EVs in real life, I am 100% sure they are absolutely not the future. Plug In hybrids are the inevitable future not EVs.

Total nonsense they don’t want to build EV’s. That’s not the way it is in the whole world maybe in Toyota world

Just bought a base 2023 Prius. As a first time Toyota owner I’ve been impressed with the quality and reliability.

Tesla might be an automotive conpany, not a trch company??? No shit sherlock😂

I truly do not believe the mileage problem can be fixed so long as they continue using lithium ion. Progress has been stagnant for 2 decades at this point.

Theres a reproducible human error problem create more people

Wait but the valuation of stock (market cap) does not affect the actual company revenue much after the IPO right? it will only affect a select few top management who has a big portion of the company's stock... so why should a company worry.. FYI I have worked in totally bootstrapped profitable private companies as well as public companies, and I always had this doubt. I have seen mostly its the early employees with esops and higher management with company shares sweat when share prices go down, but for everyone else and the company itself, its business as usual.

The Honda Civic e:HEV (full self charging hybrid) is universally rated highly by the European press, better than its competitors from Toyota.

Hybrids are next to get axed. Nobody in their right mind is gonna pay for 2 resources in order to be able to drive their cars.

I think the attention market is self-defeating. Kids can't concentrate in class now. The have the attention span of minnows. They will not be productive consumers so having 100% the attention of an unproductive worker means little to nothing. If someone can think of a way to un-fry the human brain from dopamine overload that person could save the global economy.

Stop spreading lies. The Japanese government does not "often" ask its citizens to hold back on energy consumption to avoid black outs. In my 45 years in Japan, such a thing happened only after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Besides, blackouts are very, very rare in Japan. The fact that Japan imports most of its energy is true, though its not 94% but more like 88.2%. The latter is a minor difference so I wouldn't say its a big mistake, but the former statement is downright absurd. Do your homework before making a video like this.

Investors vs Patrons,

I don't buy the idea that EV's are inevitable. What is inevitable is what is affordable and has lowest cost of ownership as well as 'convenient' to refuel will naturally prevail. The fuel type doesn't matter as long is it's quick to refuel, easy to access places to refuel and the price is right. Range has to be at least as good or better than all gasoline vehicles. Practical not ideological. Aka: it has to be better, cheaper and more convenient than existing products for 'regular people' that are practical minded (the mass market). EV's don't satisfy that (more expensive, hard to service, inconvenient to fuel and finding places to 'fuel'). Essentially, they're a 'toy' for people with money to burn and ideologs. Hybrids may be able to better fit those criteria particularly if they 'keep it simple stupid.... KISS'. Small battery, serviceable with low cost of ownership, inexpensive with it being cheap, fast and easy to fuel at widely acceptable locations. What would be an ideal mashup in my mind? A vehicle that passively recharges with solar (and breaking) with a small battery that's as easily replaceable as a car battery (aka: you can 'do it yourself') that accepts a widely accessible fuel (gasoline for now) and get's fantastic mileage. Small steps. A bonus would be a future minded engineering to be up-gradable to future fuels not yet accessible widely. A practical 'small step'. A bridge between 'what has been working' (gasoline) with limited EV upgrades. Most companies jumped to far ahead rather than taking small incremental steps and created engineering nightmares for potential customers that don't fit into their budget and pragmatic needs. Car companies have engineered EV's prematurely and the market for most people won't bear it (aka: that doesn't fit our needs for a replacement vehicle).

It Tesla makes replacing full battery affordable then yea I have no issue buying one. Tesla say they give 8 years warranty or 120k miles, whichever comes first. The problem is not the eight years. The problem is 120k miles, which will come first before reaching 3 years. This is why tesla doesn't like leasing, because after 3 years the car already came close to 120k miles and the next victim will buy the car thinking he got an amazing value only to see the battery is more then 30% dedrigated and reaching fifty percent very soon.

Korporate bullsh*t at best. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bill gates is the largest owner of farmland in USA, so whatever happens with microsoft, he would be fine. If i understand correctly, Microsoft's goal is not profit or growth, their goal is to push the world more and more towards technology, they don't care about money, they want technological execution in every sector and every corner in the world.

It's well known fact that most of these big tech companies over hires like crazy before the pandamic. I have many friends at google saying they were doing nothing for most of the year anyway

Hybrids burn fossil fuels, they are not compatible with climate goals. They are also less reliable than EVs. Toyota and the Japanese government are just proving up a bad idea and Japanese jobs. In addition hybrids will be banned in many countries in the coming years. They need to be banned globally.

selling my townhome and buying my new home in 2020 was the best decision i ever made. paid 254,000 for my house. worth 400,000 today only owe $195,000 left.

😂 wait and see the people they attract for employees in the next 5 years. Once all the smart people stop applying, all you have is the slow unwanted workers.

What is Microsoft?

They sold junk products that often times weren't what was advertised if they ever even arrived. Also, to all the people saying they became Temu: No. Temu's business strategy is to take a loss on the products then sell your data for a princely sum

Greed, report record annual profits and you still have to lay of thousands of employees to "cut costs" to make even more profit. The chase for infinite profit increase. It´s not good enough to be profitable but you have to be more profitable with every year, that this isn´t sustainable is evident when they have to lay off workers to meet the goal... but at some point they will run out of employees to fire to increase profit OR the overall productivity is taking a nosedive as those left can´t do the work alone no matter how much they are treated with being layed off if they don´t.

My company is a Hubspot customer and they have a great product & people.

Toyota is half right. Hybrids will definitely be very popular for the next 5 to 10 years, and very viable proposition on cost and efficiency. But BEVs will continue to improve and lower in costs, at which point they will make hybrids redundant. But I'll be very happy if HEVs displace all ICE vehicles.

Only normies don't want it lol.

Europe has fallen for socialism they're just eating the cookies that their grandparents made, if you know what I mean

The future is inevitable. EV's are very evitable and merely asserting they are the future and claiming the real objections aren't important and will be solved doesn't make it so

Getting people to quit has long been a thing in manufacturing and warehousing

lower the bar for employment, spend more on training the new workers, and open more small offices around the country to provide workplaces for those not able to travel for a job due to the expenses needed to do so...not everyone who relocates their lives for a job stick with those jobs for one reason or another and then they become stranded in a state they don't even know in a city they never seen before for a job that decided to show them the door or couldn't pull their heads out their asses to care for their workers. too many high expectations nowadays from leading companies is whats driving them through the ground and we are even at a point where going to college isnt possible for more people today than back then, due to the lack of wage increases mixed with the understanding that by time you get out of highschool you need to be thrusted into debt just to work at some of these places? people don't see the worth in it anymore.

Toyota will jump into EV once it actually Feasible to embrace it worldwide. Right now, we have no idea.

IBM is the grandmother of all Tech.

I liked it better when we just heard your voice.

and google is in court saying their search engine is the best... it has literally become useless for most searches.

Hubspot is the most useless service I ever had the misfortune of working with. It only makes sense, if you start at 0 and build your enterprise around it - but then you are completely trapped in their ecosystem. It's the same horror-show you have with ERP-systems - you pay extra for everything and need to pay specialized consultants for any tiny customization. Don't let them fool you with their free-tier. Compared to ERPs, Marketing systems and CRMs are really not complicated (it's literally just a handful of data-tables and a frontend). Just invest a few weeks into making your own system. It will save you millions in the long run.

It was so simple! Just bring out the Nikola Tesla's zero point energy and other technologies that they have been hiding from humanity for so long.... they won't cause then they will lose control

I hope Amazon isn’t forced to change things as much as I don’t like them. If you don’t like it, don’t work there quit forcing your beliefs on other people isn’t that what we’re told?

they got many problems, from not employing people from the country theyre operating in, to just being aliexpress at three times the price. earlier this year i saved £260 by not shopping on amazon, choosing to shop direct. amazon then intercepted my parcel and shipped it up north, leaving it with a small independent delivery firm. never spend any money with amazon.

This is one of the most positive things ever, I love it when ev fails

Hybrids have the big advantage of avoiding range anxiety. Seems to me that the future will hold hybrids, but hybrids with an ever increasing use of external plug-in electricity. I would prefer my EV to have a small petrol engine as well, so that I can never be struck with a flat battery. As time goes on, those petrol engines can get smaller. A key fact with EVs is they weigh the same whether the battery is charged or not. So you can make lighter cheaper vehicles if you accept low range. So (as mentioned) electric for daily commutes, petrol for longer trips. Fossil fuel use is likely to be discouraged by short supply and/or high prices or climate-favouring rules. But hybrid cars can adapt to changing rules.

Let me think, when was the last time an acquisition by a large corporation was BETTER for the users of the acquired product or service ? Hmmmmmmmmm.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

He could have just bought 1b in Btc 2bn in INVIDA bought tesla.. these were all no brainers even at the exact right time to buy. Having the billions to invest would be a the brain drain.
