Toyota sales have held up very well. Last year increased to 11.2M BUT in Toyota largest market, China, sales are dropping off a cliff as China is now over 50% EVs. This will drop in sales will be spreading to the rest of the world.

[@yo2trader539]

Toyota's largest and most important market in terms of volume and monetary value has always been North America. Of the 8.63 million units Toyota sold overseas in CY2023, 2.61 million was in North America. And China is not 50% BEVs. A significant portion of the "New Energy Vehicle" in China is Plug-in Hybrids. Most Chinese automakers actually don't money selling pure-BEVs in China. Chinese automakers are in a bloody race to the bottom to kill off the competition, foreign or domestic. Most foreign automakers would rather lose marketshare than sell cars at a loss. Toyota's Jan-Aug 2024 sales in China was around 1.08 million vehicles. Toyota's China sales was down about 10-15% from the previous year. But because the Chinese government forced a 50:50 Joint-Venture with a State-owned-Enterprise, the financial impact or benefit is naturally half. And most of the production takes place in Chinese factories, which means Chinese workers will be the most impacted from changes in sales trends.

[@travelwithtony5767]

[@TerryHickey-xt4mf]

This has intrigued me for quite a while now, here in NZ Toyota seem to be able to do no wrong, their hybrids are selling very well. This is ok for now, but it will drop off a cliff when full evs that have a decent range that is acceptable to modern day motorists, etc, etc, are available at a lower cost and with a longer warranty. I own an MG ev and it has been faultless for the last 2 years, I used to own a Toyota ute a few years ago, and it was great as well. We are going through the biggest upset in automotive industry since the model T put the horse and cart out of the race. To me here in NZ I think we will be driving around in Chinese utes and cars in the future. Why? because we do not have any local manufacturing in this arena, and we are close to China, and our trade depends on China, so we do not need to put up any trade barriers like the US and Europe etc.

I live in a much larger country USA, strange that you can’t get adequate range in New Zealand, but I can. I have a 2022 Tesla model three long range.

You have to ask the question, why a solid state battery would be any better than one based on polymer electrolytes. Its similar to asking whether a ceramic cup is any better than a plastic cup. They are both cups, both do the job. The difference is the plastic one is lighter and cheaper. The functionality is the same, but the ceramic one is more expensive and could possibly be considered classier.

You should probably compare the Toyota road map to the CATL or BYD road map for batteries for comparison. It really shows how behind the times they are. I agree that by building a factory they could probably build a battery cheaper than they buy it for, but the sunk cost of that facility might decade decades to recover. So in reality, it isn't really cheaper at all. The incumbent ICE car makers are in real trouble. They are better off creating an EV SPV and dumping billions into it and let that compete while they figure out how to organize an orderly and profitable wind down on of ICE production. The "two timeline" strategy just never works.

[@yo2trader539]

It's simply impossible to replace all cars and trucks with BEVs. There isn't enough batteries nor electricity to make that happen. Thus, hydrogen research is for post-hybrid era when oil and nat gas is phased out from the industry/economy. Companies like Toyota think in decades. FYI, hybrid research started in the 1970s during the last Oil Crisis, and Toyota started designing its Prius in 1992 with the improvement in rechargeable battery technology. The research is why Toyota can offer hybrid vehicles around the same cost as regular vehicles. Fast forward to 2024, now 40-50% of new car sales for Toyota and Honda are hybrids.

Sometime rolling brown outs were used to mitigate fire risk caused by the old, hot high voltage transmission lines during a severe drought.

Show me the money (battery)!!! Toyota has no credibility of any kind when it comes to EVs (they could not even get the wheels of the BZ4X to stay on, or at least that was the story they peddled, they had to recall all the cars sold. Most likely was something much more serious), so until the bring something to the market it is just vaporware.

Get you story straight BZ4X Was assembled by BYD for Toyota.BYD received a faulty batch of parts causing the wheels to come off.This was fixed under Warranty.But when The Steering Wheels started falling off Teslas while driving everybody went quiet.The US Automobile Safety Branch still looking into it.Toyota is Number One in the World for best Fit and Finish of Vechiles.

[@jorgevieiro5774]

@@rickchiplin4970 It is true that there were 2 (two) Model Ys that had a problem with the steering wheels (which is unacceptable), and there is an open NHTSA open investigation. It is irrelevant who made the BZ4X. It has a Toyota badge. It is supposed to have gone through the Toyota Quality Assurance Program. Not to mention the 100K Tundras and Lexus that had to be recalled to have an entire engine change. Toyota admitted cheating in Japan with the certification for Corolla Fielder, Corolla Axio and Yaris Cross. So you might want to temper your claim on Toyota Quality and honesty. All car manufacturers had issues that is not the point. The issue is does Toyota have any credibility when it comes to EVs. Clearly not yet.

Toyota needs their solid-state batteries to come to market at the latest by the 2026 model year and somehow not pass those costs to EV buyers, LFP batteries make more sense, but Toyota has brainstormed its buyers into thinking EVs aren't any good, the problem is Toyota EV models aren't any good

You just gotta scale it dawg…

[@petepetrass]

I would guess if toyota buy and take control of the panasonic battery that will enable them to keep a lid on the "solid state battery" lie. If I head it right in 2027 toyota will release 3 different types of batteries. why? if solid state is the holy grail why release two other lesser types of batteries?

you forgot to read the fine print: on assumption CATL gifts us it's business, factories and technology

Toyota is the most profitable automaker in the world, so they're doing fine. Their trouble is there is too much demand relative to their production capacity. Over 40% of their new car sales world-wide are now hybrids. And they're also building a new US$14bn battery factory in North Carolina to increase production of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and BEVs.

​by the way, VW debt, 280😂😂😂😂 billion

[@yo2trader539]

@@rogerfroud300 It's basic accounting. The debt is primarily for auto-loans. The more cars automakers sell, the more debt will appear on their Balance-Sheets. The equivalent amount will appear on the Asset-side of their B/S as well. Automakers are a bank, meaning their financing arm borrows money from capital markets (i.e. issue debt) to lend to consumers in the form of car loans. Toyota had record sales and profits in FY2023, and had record profits in 1QFY2024 (Apri-Jun 2024).
