What a great time to be an engineer in china, they are researching semiconductors, battery technology, solar panel technology etc etc .

IT WAS ALL PLANNED...AN IMPOSSIBLE PLAN TO PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT THE CHINESE ALREADY ARE DOING. THE COMPANY LEADERS SOLD THEIR CHARES A LONG TIME AGO !! 🤮🤮🤮

What about the severity of EV fires compared to ICE? Which are potentially more fatal. Aren’t EV fires hotter, more difficult to put out and require some special techniques to extinguish? Why is insurance more expensive for EV’s? Aren’t they more likely to be totaled after a fire? You will not put out an EV fire with a car extinguisher? Maybe EV drivers require training to properly charge their cars safely to avoid fires? More data is needed.

If you want to produce batteries you have to be able to answer yes to at least two of the following questions. 1) Are your batteries better than what others make? 2) Are your production processes better than others? 3) Can you deliver cheaper batteries than all other producers? Take also into account that China has nearly monopoly on some of the raw material used to produce batteries. You must also have a long lasting contract with a major off taker of your batteries. With Northvolt they had obsolete production equipment from China where all the menus and manuals that were written only in Chinese so they had to employ a number of Chinese workers. Frankly it all seemed like a sofisticated scam to squeeze as much as possible of tax money from EU and the Swedish state. They built up a hype and sold out their stocks before it all collapsed. The losers are taxpayers and some pension funds.

No graph, nothing! Do I have to watch all the video just to get basic 2 numbers

这家公司的失败并不是未能生产出有竞争力的产品，而是未能生产出合格的产品。

The Fiesta was around 1200 Kg ... Quite a bit lighter

2026 and without v2 battery? ugh that will propably hold byd in europe. They really need bring bigger range and higher charging speeds. I saw nice Seal 06gt but inside of it is... Dolphin spec xd heates and ventilated front andrear seats would be a good asset. Also that vertical screen - making it more usable like splitting content into pieces like: 1/3 android map/ 13/ spotify, 1/3 other apps or consumption. Also one pedal driving and stronger regen.

My preference is Inster. It is cheaper than Dolphin and with more preferences too for me as a Dane. The Guide speak Danish 😊and the infotainment system is better than the chinese acording to my experience.

From opening to bankruptcy in 10 months. That is way better than European efficiency

The batteries have not been confirmed yet. That could make a big difference.

Summary 1.Gen 2 key improvements include a 27% increase in energy density (reaching 190 Wh/kg) 2. As safe as Gen 1 that's it the rest are just fluff.

No more different coloured bonnet please ... I would definitely look at the mid powered one in Australia, hopefully the interior is more Seal like and less Atto like.

The blade battery is obsolete needs the newer battery v2

Easy, just intro a spec called Mono (short for Monochrome). Make it only White, cheap wheels, grey interior with cloth seats, basic AC, smallest battery, single motor and 1% finance.

still unhappy that the BYD Seagull is nowhere to be found in Europe

2026? It's not even 2025 yet. Are they using different calendar in China??

No offense, your pushing the biggest scam in history ,, called EV's it's embarrassing.. these worthless piles of junk can never make it.. when you can explain or prove that any electrical box, sponge,, storage bin,( i don't care what you call it) can hold more,,"ENERGY DENSITY"" then anything else and get the same distance,,, same power,, simple refueling/charging times.. Than you can push this shit.. I'm sick and tired of paying rebates,, more insurance, because a bunch of uneducated tree huggers.. You want to buy a fuckin EV,, a horse,, a kite,, great buy it don't fuckin force or impose it down everybody else's throat and under some BULLSHIT slogan ,, ,, The environment,,,.

That idiot Carlos was a disaster before he entered stellantis.. Plus think about it people,, you have a bunch of whinny,,moody rich europeans that have been running large car manufacturers into the ground, all of sudden more corrupt rich idiots all shake hands , call the new company stealantis!! Screw all the little people,,build absolute shit cars buy up other bad companies,, circle jerk around the big round corporate table,, patting each other on the back, while firing the little people and giving each other big bonuses.. Yup couldn't see rhis coming from a thousand miles away. in less than 2 years these idiots destroyed and lost billions..

Greetings, here in Panama Seagull sell like mini Dolphin at almost 20000 dollars and the Nammi at 16000 and is bigger than my suzuki swift quite tempting

You make useful videos. Good job man.

If Stellantis had priced their cars well in the Indian market, they could have tapped in to a high volume segment which should have made a ROI here. Instead they shot themselves in the foot. That 100million Euros went down the drain for the group… 😅

Its tne Tariff so byd trying to make a cheaper care you working for the west no your workiing for you and the west so no im not going gave you nothing

How about the interior?

2026 - what do you mean? We are not 2025 yet. European brands change model year around summer. Other brands use current calendar year as model year.

I prefer the original version, particularly the light bar on the back with the knot pattern. Making the car slightly shorter is an improvement. The option of a 130kW motor could be better because the 150kW motor has a lot of torque that could introduce wheelspin. Also a130kW model could have cheaper insurance. Do you know when it will be available in 2026 and do you know if it will have the Blade 2 battery?

In the Netherlands, many had high hopes for BYD coming with affordable EV's. Sadly, the cheapest start at €36.500. So even a lot more expansive than EU build EV's. I guess, these updates will make the BYD even more dear. 6 weeks ago, we bought the Dongfeng Nammi Box for €23.400 with full options. Funny thing is, due to the smaller battery (42kWh) and the lighter weight of the Nammi, it is much more efficient than the BYD. On average it uses around 12kWh per 100km, and that is with this temperature. The "warmer" periode first weeks of November, above 10 degrees, it did 11kWh to 100km. So, we are glad to have kept €13.000 in the pocket.

Options are good. Will this have the Blade V2 battery?

With commodity products, if a country subsidizes its output to gain a price advantage and dominate market share, it could lose in the long run if competitor companies promote technology and production cost superiority (which are highly related). If China sells for less than the production cost, buy from them. However, if your production cost is abnormally high because of bureaucratic costs and delays, you will lose even if you provide equal subsidies. If it takes 5 to 10 years for you to go from concept to production, you will lose in a rapidly changing technology. The plant will be obsolete by the time you build it, and you will lose. That is the US problem. Thanks to regulatory delays and bureaucrats, we can't get anything done on a reasonable time scale. Wage rates don't count in these high-tech businesses, where sales per worker are measured in millions of euros.

It's definitely not "all about EVs moving forward". Except first world countries, no one actually ready, nor willing to go full EVs moving forward. And have close to zero infrastructure for that. I already provided this example. Recently our region was left without electricity for whole day. Hurricanes in USA left hundreds of thousands without anything... and in this conditions you speaking about full ev mode? Yeah right...! Keep on dreaming

He got fired..

Maybe explains releasing the BYD shark in Aust under production cost to gain market share over Toyota & Ford .

Because he just released that the decision he took over Luton van plant in the UK. Bloody foreigner.. 😡

When exactly did Carlos Tavares been fired? He quit. He step down... He walked away. He wasn't fired as your title states incorrectly.

How anyone could buy this is beyond me. Hype is an amazing thing. Looks like it came out of a North Korean design department, from the 1970s

Tesla US is not independent in the manufacture of batteries. Whether US, Korea or Japan, the core tech and the advance main manufacturing equipment are China. Korea and Japan only produces niche manufacturing equipment. Northvolt has no other alternative but to import those advance equipment from China. The Chinese had enough and are fed up of the immoral, reckless and dirty tactics used by US to sanction China. The tech counter attack from China could be very devastating as seen in the recent ban on the export of key raw materials and the use of Chinese technology. The Chinese also use the direct product rule that was used and abused by US against China.

The first thing a new CEO will probably do is divest themselves of some of the deadwood "Old" legacy Companies. Why? Because at the moment, Chinese Companies still see that buying "Old" European Companies will get them a faster public acceptance for the BEV cars. So, Tavares always said Stellantis would never sell Alpha Romeo or Lancia. Perhaps Maserati. Guess what will happen soon? Yes, Chinese Companies will be sniffing around again. I mean, they already snapped up MG, Volvo, Polestar, Lotus. They saw that it would be an easier entry if the public still vaguely thought the Cars were still British or Swedish etc. and would get better acceptance.

The Chinese will wipe out Stellantis, that is why the CEO was sacked the company was collapsing. This will not stop the inevitable. This will give VW some short-term relief however they too will collapse. The only way ANY EV manufacturer will be able to survive outside the US is by Government support. Legacy car makers who invested so heavily on EV are in dire financial strife. Its the circle of life, the British once had a industry, the Americans killed it, then the Japanese did it to the Americans, then the Koreans did the Japanese, now it's China who will be the big winners. Twenty years from now, there will be only one country making EV's in any large number.

Stellantis fired Tavares because he refused to back away from his ev commitments. The day after trump won, Stellantis began testing bringing back v8 engines. After all the USA emissions laws were going to be reversed under Elon trump presidency. Stellantis has officially joined the group that is lobbying to reverse emissions and green energy quotas in the USA and Europe. Heil Elon, fanboys. Heil trump. This is the same reason the Volkswagen CEO was fired.

I'm pretty sure that the Tesla model 2 isn't going to happen. That leaves the Chinese (brands and partners) to pick up the batton of small, cheap EVs. There's no coincidence that it is the Chinese battery makers who are making all the running with high energy density batteries, is there? I must say that I thought that PSA's management was stellar... until they chose to merge with FIAT-Chrysler, seriously WTF? For me, the Leap Motor affiliation is possibly the only saving grace for Stellantis.

EUR 100m for running a multinational car corporation into the ground?!? Nice job if you can get it.

management of Stellantis, GM and Ford have been riding the salary since the big "win" by the UAW. they know the companies are not going to survive with the conditions imposed by their workers. so they ride it until it lasts. Tavares and Natalie Knight have now dropped. more to come...

Higher density and cheaper and faster charging. . Thats what i want in a battery. More range is always good . Also it will make electric planes the future

Good news for European citizens because their money will not be used by the politicians to sustain non-competitive industries

Hope I can buy Seagull before the year end. I like black

Communities … industries …. reputations …. AND …. quality. Can you say consumer class action lawsuit loading? With fires which can not be extinguished caused by these vehicles, this is monumentally idiotic.
