It’s pointless to talk about market saturation in a country where companies would rather let their merchandise sit and rot in lots and fields than sell them at a loss because they know they will always be bailed out with taxpayer money (US, China)
Sure you have a point, but think of the disaster it'd be for the market allowing Companies to a free, heavy fluctuation of prices... Think of the repercussions on the new vehicles prices of different brands, on second-hand vehicles quotations, and on the prices of spare parts, and the whole lot possibly changing on a near monthly basis!! The whole enterprise, If not perfectly managed (which îs nearly impossible) could easily lead to the collapse of the whole industrial sector. No matter the field of expertise, markets hate uncertainty. As long as the car making will be a crucial industry (strategically and for employment) yes, Companies experiencing difficulties will be bailed out, it's not cost-free but it's the lesser of two evils, the cure you're offering îs way worse than the disease.
No its not that , if they sell it due to volume price will have to go down , and then with that price they would not earn as much profit . That is why in Netherlands i think or Denmark they kill 200 000 pigs , and god knows what else , becase if they dont oversupply would drop prices and their profit margins would go down , while its very stupid , there are people who need it .Food is essential , Cars are not , but instead of feeding the poor they just dump it This is not good for anyone , its not even good for the manufacturer , its a short term solution , long term its a disaster .

Exactly. That’s how American continuity worked during the industrial revolution and we ended up with eventually all of the technology we have today. Competition is good and subsidies for failed. Products are very very bad. .
The US doesn’t import any Chinese cars! This was a story about Europe: However, Le Monde reported that at Calloo, near Antwerp, and Zeebrugge, the huge parking lots to accommodate 130,000 freshly shipped vehicles, are cramped now with Chinese models, including MG, BYD, Nio, XPeng, Lynk & Co, Omoda, Hongqi, among others.
No, they are very cheap and good , but the tariffs make very hard for anyone to justify buying a chinese ev car.. China will retaliate. We will see how it ends.
My dad had a 2018 Ford Focus with the 1.0L EcoBoost. It was new w/very few miles. As a general comment, I had no gripes with the performance OR gas mileage (it had a CVT). It was a quick/peppy little car "for what it was". I realized that while it was great w/under 10k miles, it was a risk or a complete question mark moving forward. He stopped driving and I quickly got it sold while "newish". The "auto start/stop" was ridiculous, even though it could be disabled between ignition/key starts.
The electric car idea reminds me of when our government tried to push the metric system on us back in the 70’s. Speed limit signs were changed,etc. That didn’t work either.
The US is one of the only countries that doesn't use the metric system. Much better system, way easier. Americans are too stubborn and think imperial is the best. It's garbage.
@robskyle I agree. Here in Canada, we have Trudeau. He is a evil leader forcing EVs. It's not about the environment it's about total control and zero freedom.
In my day if you were single you wouldn't have been caught dead in a four-door car. Now kids get Mom and Dad's pass down four-door sedan, put low profile tires and a fart muffler on it, and call it cool.
That’s what happens in a planned economy. Supply isn’t based off of possible demand. Supply is subsidized by the government and public funds. They are not worried about too much supply because that is how they undermine their “competition”.
If efficiency was 100% for all engines that would be true (except for when the engine is idling - the smaller engine will use less). But it’s nowhere close. Many cars have the option for a 4 cylinder or a V6, and the 4 cylinder almost always has better gas mileage (I say almost not because I’m aware of an exception, but there probably is somewhere).
Ford is charging over 100 grand for their suv's. That's crazy ! By the time you join the rat race game to garage and pay the high insurance, you might have to refinance your house to pay for it !
I have a 2002 Dodge Caravan. Some rust, but it runs like a charm with the odometer at 213',000 on the odo. It can scoot down the road with the rest of 'em. That's fine with me. I'm not a speed freak that wants to be the first to get to the next red light.
BYD and other large EV manufacturers in China are now building their own ships, could this be because their tenth showroom has burnt down and no one wants to ship them ?
Hybrids seem to be the future I swear... At least in the interim. We need to go full hybrid as an intermediary measure until we can figure out how to make affordable, reliable, and convenient electric vehicles.
I had this lady from Detroit told me she wanted a stick shift focus. Of course I said why a stick ( I love a sick ) She said they can’t drive or steal it . Everybody knew how drive a stick A 3 on the tree would really mess with them
There's nothing appealing, affordable, or reliable in the car market now. I'll keep my money and my current car. I keep it maintained, and it gives me no issues for a 2013 Ford focus.
Ground up 250-500mil for a new platform in an existing manufacturer. If you’re penny pinching. Closer to 1Bn for a complicated one. You wanna start a new company, and produce a model on mass. You won’t find much change out of a couple of billion
My 2.4L Tiger Shark I4 in my 2014 Dodge Dart SXT has nearly 250,000 miles on it. It's naturally aspirated. Still gets 25-30 miles per gallon with an EVAP Leak. I get 184 Horsepower with 164 lbs. FT of Torque. It still does 0-60 in 7.88 seconds.
Ordered my Tesla Model Y on Saturday. It took 10 minutes and I printed the buy sheet. Why in the world can’t you go to a dealership’s website and do the same thing?
Many car companies don't have customers buying what they make, but they aren't concerned enough to slow or stop production of more of what they can't sell. In the car universe, the factory's job is making cars and the dealer's job is selling them. Neither the factory or the dealers seem to care about each other's long term interests any more than they care about their customers. Lack of demand for the product is looked at as something to be blamed on advertising agencies, not on the product itself. It's nuts. Some brands have 400 days worth of inventory rotting on their lots, but dealers still won't cut prices. The principles of beginner-level economics get turned upside-down in the car biz, as though whatever you've been told about supply and demand was a joke. It's bad enough when domestic manufacturers are doing it out of ineptitude, but the Chinese are about to be deliberately doing it here because trashing other people's markets by flooding them with their over-production is more than just a business model.
Right. Great. What we really need is to be flooded by spare parts so all of these broken down rigs can get back on the road. My truck (1 of 4), five weeks still in the shop, maybe get it back in 3 or 4 more weeks. GMC Arcadia, 4 months and still waiting for a tail light fixture.
Had a 97 wrangler TJ(true 1996), 2.5 engine and traded it in 2018 with 348,000 miles. That little thing was bulletproof. I miss it but it’s nice to be able to have air conditioning and hear my phone. Great video Scotty, appreciate your knowledge.🫡
It’s a nothing story as the US doesn’t import Chinese cars! Here’s what the story says “However, Le Monde reported that at Calloo, near Antwerp, and Zeebrugge, the huge parking lots to accommodate 130,000 freshly shipped vehicles, are cramped now with Chinese models, including MG, BYD, Nio, XPeng, Lynk & Co, Omoda, Hongqi, among others. “
Im done with my sports car era. I totaled my wrx and survived flying into the woods at 65mph and somehow managed to get out untouched. This was a few weeks ago... I would like a mid sized truck that makes it easy to transport my mountain bike and has a lot of modern technology and features. Everything now is so insanely expensive tho.
@@mrgarrison3516 I was thinking of waiting for the new sti honestly. Right now I got an old Tacoma 2011 with 160k miles but runs fine and was taken care of. Got it for 8k… just gonna drive this thing till the wheels fall off and maybe get that new STI. I swear I have ptsd from the crash tho, I cringe at the thought of speeding now.
3 cyl engines may work if they are set up in a triangle position. Meaning 1 piston goes down, opposite piston up and 3rd piston would alternate between other ones.
You have a tendency to 'quote' 'deals' but never offer links to all these wonderful deals. Nor have you offered a glimpse into your showcase of secured purchases of all these wonderful 'deals'.
Ever think man isn't going to be a salesman for something he ain't going to make anything off from and do it for free. Pretty sure if you tried hard enough you could find everything this man talks about I know I can
Hes referencing supply and demand, because we're getting a huge supply the prices will go down. He also quoted he still wouldn't pay dealer prices he'd go find a better deal off someone selling their own vehicle.
China has no quality control and corruption is rampant... do not buy a Chinese made EV it's a deathtrap. Pay a little more for a Tesla or American made EV.
Scotty, the only reason we dont drive sports cars is bc we cant afford them anymore. And if you can afford on you cant afford gas or replacement parts. Lower the prices and youll see way more people driving them

The Toyota GR Yaris were blowing up due to missed shifts instead of going into third from forth gear people were going into first gear over revving the engine sometimes to 11,000 RPM and more, but Toyota can tell if that has happened when they interrogate the engine control module if found to be a over revving situation the owner will have a large bill to pay. There's a video of a GR Yaris mis shifting on the Nurbergring and blowing the motor. He tried to blame the close shift pattern of the gearbox but Toyota wasn't having any of it.
I bought my gmc Sierra work truck, 2wd, ex cab, 5.3l, trlr package in 2006 for $19.5k in 2006. According to inflation that truck should be about $30k today. In fact it's more like $46k. As far as I'm concerned prices need to drop by 1/3. Jmo,ymmv.
Talking about all those Chinese EV's sitting on the docks gives new meaning to NOS, (new old stock). It'll be great to see how good they go after sitting in the great outdoors for a year. Anyone for reduced range battery?
Ford dealers flooded with Mach E's that have been sitting for well over a year. They are NOT in a spot that they are being charged. I'm reading that storing a battery with no charge will cause a major capacity loss. Supposed to be stored and maintained between 30 and 80%. Does anyone believe that these batteries will perform as intended? I have never seen a tech nor salesman go near the cars as they are hidden out of sight on the back ot the lot.
What you say about engine size makes sense in terms of pure physics as well as mechanics. Unfortunately, in some parts of Europe such as my resident country of the Rep of Ireland we have a "road fund tax" system which is priced by CC and not overall car and engine efficiency, inclusive of environmental impact. Such taxes were initially devised to maintain the state's roads in a safe and acceptable condition but if you ever visit the 'Emerald Isle' you will immediately witness dismal failure. The money in fact goes to county council accounts and road quality is at its worse in the rich counties in the east of the country. When driving over the border into Northern Ireland on the same basic route (numbered differently between the two jurisdictions), road surfaces and signing improve immediately. The crude thinking in the past was the bigger the engine, the greater the weight and CO2 output. Those of us who are old enough to have tuned our own cars before electronics removed such possibilities recall that CO2 was but one emission of several long-chain molecules inimical to air quality. We ensured that combustion was as 'complete' as possible and could measure tail pipe gases composition. Now, the state run NCT test uses usually unqualified testers and measuring equipment costing €millions but parameters in the software are crudely set and a whole car's fitness for road use, including emissions, makes no sense. Incentives (bribes) to sell EVs abound yet the weight of such vehicles in relation to road pavement EU regulations is not counted. Sufficient inherent engine power for a given vehicle's purpose should be taxed fairly and purpose proved. Does one need a great big SUV in a city or is that just a an easy and fashionable cop-out? 3-cylinder low cc cars have a place in dense and crowded Asian megacities where space is scarce and as long as that type of engine is not revved to hell then their relative cheapness and the fact that re-cycling is a big deal in Japan etc justifies the type. But for average US and non-crowded European styles of driving, sufficient is the by word and what comes out of a tail pipe should be exactly measured. The who concept of road fund tax is skewed and confused but what is sure is that EV weight and volatility need to be sensibly assessed and duly taxed. Types of IC engines using various fuels will still be around in another 100 years, albeit linked to electrical assistance but the latter is certainly too immature to hold the market it currently does.
If prices are coming down I'll be very happy. I don't think my car is gonna last too much longer. Hoping it will keep going just another 12 months or so then I'll be able to get something better fingers crossed at a reasonable price.
I'm still driving my 1996 VW Golf 2.0 L gas engine manual car daily. It's simple, been very reliable, durable, and it is fun to drive and actually peppy too! Never selling it.
Eh? 4 cylinder balanced? Is that why most of them have balance shafts? /s Which BMW 3-cylinder are we referring to? The one in the i8? That wasn't over 300HP. They put out 230HP or so with the rest coming from the hybrid drivetrain.
Hey Scotty, if you do design your own car, just ask all your followers for like five bucks and then you’ll have the money. I got five on it. I’ll do it. and you should make it where it doesn’t have all this like new age technology so everything‘s like really easy to fix like back in the old days with lots of room under the hood to work

And if you google it, you'll find that the rates are becoming more dependent on model and not on the engine as much.
You can go back 20 years to see pictures of unsold cars stored at places like unused airports.

The US doesn’t import any Chinese cars! This was a story about Europe: However, Le Monde reported that at Calloo, near Antwerp, and Zeebrugge, the huge parking lots to accommodate 130,000 freshly shipped vehicles, are cramped now with Chinese models, including MG, BYD, Nio, XPeng, Lynk & Co, Omoda, Hongqi, among others.

No, they are very cheap and good , but the tariffs make very hard for anyone to justify buying a chinese ev car.. China will retaliate. We will see how it ends.

My dad had a 2018 Ford Focus with the 1.0L EcoBoost. It was new w/very few miles. As a general comment, I had no gripes with the performance OR gas mileage (it had a CVT). It was a quick/peppy little car "for what it was". I realized that while it was great w/under 10k miles, it was a risk or a complete question mark moving forward. He stopped driving and I quickly got it sold while "newish".
The "auto start/stop" was ridiculous, even though it could be disabled between ignition/key starts.
The electric car idea reminds me of when our government tried to push the metric system on us back in the 70’s. Speed limit signs were changed,etc. That didn’t work either.
Too bad. The Imperial system is stupid.
The US is one of the only countries that doesn't use the metric system. Much better system, way easier. Americans are too stubborn and think imperial is the best. It's garbage.
Well, I'm neutral on EVs, but switching to metric would have been a net positive.
Yeah, we should have switched to metric for sure though
Americans arent smart on metric system, they better calculate on empirical system...

That’s what happens in a planned economy. Supply isn’t based off of possible demand. Supply is subsidized by the government and public funds. They are not worried about too much supply because that is how they undermine their “competition”.

Engine size doesn’t determine fuel economy. The weight of the car does. Each BTU of energy is equal to so many horsepower to move the weight around.
If efficiency was 100% for all engines that would be true (except for when the engine is idling - the smaller engine will use less). But it’s nowhere close. Many cars have the option for a 4 cylinder or a V6, and the 4 cylinder almost always has better gas mileage (I say almost not because I’m aware of an exception, but there probably is somewhere).
@@jaireidca 👍A larger engine has a higher burn rate than a smaller engine, but that’s only a few drops of fuel. Weight uses the most energy to move.
Ford is charging over 100 grand for their suv's. That's crazy ! By the time you join the rat race game to garage and pay the high insurance, you might have to refinance your house to pay for it !

Ordered my Tesla Model Y on Saturday. It took 10 minutes and I printed the buy sheet. Why in the world can’t you go to a dealership’s website and do the same thing?
Because dealers are independent. Tesla also barely has any service centers.
Many car companies don't have customers buying what they make, but they aren't concerned enough to slow or stop production of more of what they can't sell. In the car universe, the factory's job is making cars and the dealer's job is selling them. Neither the factory or the dealers seem to care about each other's long term interests any more than they care about their customers. Lack of demand for the product is looked at as something to be blamed on advertising agencies, not on the product itself. It's nuts. Some brands have 400 days worth of inventory rotting on their lots, but dealers still won't cut prices. The principles of beginner-level economics get turned upside-down in the car biz, as though whatever you've been told about supply and demand was a joke. It's bad enough when domestic manufacturers are doing it out of ineptitude, but the Chinese are about to be deliberately doing it here because trashing other people's markets by flooding them with their over-production is more than just a business model.
Right. Great. What we really need is to be flooded by spare parts so all of these broken down rigs can get back on the road. My truck (1 of 4), five weeks still in the shop, maybe get it back in 3 or 4 more weeks. GMC Arcadia, 4 months and still waiting for a tail light fixture.
Had a 97 wrangler TJ(true 1996), 2.5 engine and traded it in 2018 with 348,000 miles. That little thing was bulletproof. I miss it but it’s nice to be able to have air conditioning and hear my phone. Great video Scotty, appreciate your knowledge.🫡

It’s a global market. Too many vehicles in any market segment will affect global prices.
The U. S. does import Chinese cars, just not from Chinese brands. For example, the Buick Envision is Chinese.

Thanks Scotty on the 3 cylinder engines.
3 cyl engines may work if they are set up in a triangle position.
Meaning 1 piston goes down, opposite piston up and 3rd piston would alternate between other ones.

You have a tendency to 'quote' 'deals' but never offer links to all these wonderful deals. Nor have you offered a glimpse into your showcase of secured purchases of all these wonderful 'deals'.

Hes referencing supply and demand, because we're getting a huge supply the prices will go down. He also quoted he still wouldn't pay dealer prices he'd go find a better deal off someone selling their own vehicle.
At the end of the day you need to haggle. The dealer will always try to up sale everything

One more negative against Hondas, they still come with a timing belt, which if breaks, causes a lot of damage and with a huge repair bill.
The biggest problem with all these unsold Electric vehicles is they could sell them at budget prices and flood the market.

The Toyota GR Yaris were blowing up due to missed shifts instead of going into third from forth gear people were going into first gear over revving the engine sometimes to 11,000 RPM and more, but Toyota can tell if that has happened when they interrogate the engine control module if found to be a over revving situation the owner will have a large bill to pay. There's a video of a GR Yaris mis shifting on the Nurbergring and blowing the motor. He tried to blame the close shift pattern of the gearbox but Toyota wasn't having any of it.

Might be worth getting them cheap later just for the batteries.
Ford dealers flooded with Mach E's that have been sitting for well over a year. They are NOT in a spot that they are being charged. I'm reading that storing a battery with no charge will cause a major capacity loss. Supposed to be stored and maintained between 30 and 80%. Does anyone believe that these batteries will perform as intended? I have never seen a tech nor salesman go near the cars as they are hidden out of sight on the back ot the lot.

Try and see where the vibration comes from. If it’s front wheel drive and you feel the vibration in your feet it may be a bad cv joint.
What you say about engine size makes sense in terms of pure physics as well as mechanics.
Unfortunately, in some parts of Europe such as my resident country of the Rep of Ireland we have a "road fund tax" system which is priced by CC and not overall car and engine efficiency, inclusive of environmental impact.
Such taxes were initially devised to maintain the state's roads in a safe and acceptable condition but if you ever visit the 'Emerald Isle' you will immediately witness dismal failure.
The money in fact goes to county council accounts and road quality is at its worse in the rich counties in the east of the country.
When driving over the border into Northern Ireland on the same basic route (numbered differently between the two jurisdictions), road surfaces and signing improve immediately.
The crude thinking in the past was the bigger the engine, the greater the weight and CO2 output.
Those of us who are old enough to have tuned our own cars before electronics removed such possibilities recall that CO2 was but one emission of several long-chain molecules inimical to air quality. We ensured that combustion was as 'complete' as possible and could measure tail pipe gases composition.
Now, the state run NCT test uses usually unqualified testers and measuring equipment costing €millions but parameters in the software are crudely set and a whole car's fitness for road use, including emissions, makes no sense.
Incentives (bribes) to sell EVs abound yet the weight of such vehicles in relation to road pavement EU regulations is not counted.
Sufficient inherent engine power for a given vehicle's purpose should be taxed fairly and purpose proved. Does one need a great big SUV in a city or is that just a an easy and fashionable cop-out?
3-cylinder low cc cars have a place in dense and crowded Asian megacities where space is scarce and as long as that type of engine is not revved to hell then their relative cheapness and the fact that re-cycling is a big deal in Japan etc justifies the type.
But for average US and non-crowded European styles of driving, sufficient is the by word and what comes out of a tail pipe should be exactly measured.
The who concept of road fund tax is skewed and confused but what is sure is that EV weight and volatility need to be sensibly assessed and duly taxed.
Types of IC engines using various fuels will still be around in another 100 years, albeit linked to electrical assistance but the latter is certainly too immature to hold the market it currently does.
