I can probably get days supply (or estimated/projected) for all OEM’s and models, but it may only be regional data. I would bet that most of these cars have low days supply since they are low volume. But obviously, OEM’s try to match production to demand so if demand was higher, there would be more production unless…

Absolute insanity. Especially since you know, the estimate comes out before the numbers and there is NO WAY Elon would ever goose the numbers just a touch, right...RIGHT?

The blessing and curse of numbers, you can literally make them say whatever you want if you use math correctly. I have admittedly done that too.

But then you go look at W sales figures in the US and go, “uhh, wow. That doesn’t seem that good.” I think there is also a bit of a preconceived notion that Europe = Luxury and the ecno-eurocars just don’t sell well here as they are a bit overpriced and don’t offer much better product than other mass market OEM’s for…

Yea, not sure that is happening other than via theft. I guess to be fair, the company won’t be around much longer to sue you anyway!

I mean, when no one will buy one, anything is better than nothing. Consumer purchases pretty much hit zero and they need any cash they can get to be able to close up shop.

That might be the weirdest YT video I have ever watched...

Yea, I am thinking they are trying to hold residuals up while still kind of admitting defeat in the background in a win/win for NMAC. If it depreciates like the expect, they have an extra $6k they got for it. If it doesn’t, they got $6k and have a more expensive vehicle to sell for more profit.

Yea and the new Corolla is probably bigger than an older Camry but gets way better gas mileage and is safer. So, I guess it depends on what you consider “small” and what you are preferencing here in the small vs MPG debate or if you really just want something very small and good on gas.

What time frame are you using? Because neither YoY or QoQ support 50 and 40% growth rates or a 15% growth rate for auto revenue which was negative QoQ and +31% YoY. Also, you do know that Services and others consists of “sales of used vehicles, non-warranty after-sales vehicle services, body shop and parts, paid…

Got ya. I am just wondering how they are spinning that. Couldn’t I go in and force them to give me the credit too? Or I guess that is the gig here since I see the residual is comically high. No way a 2 year old Leaf will only lose $8k in value when you can buy a new one at the same dealer for $17-18k. So I guess to…

Yea, and those people are just ignorant since most import OEM’s build a ton of products here in the US and I am pretty sure the Envista and Hornet are not even built in the US. Not sure on the Trax though.

Yep, always does, lol. But market cap is not indicative of making money either. The scary part is their EPS numbers are absurd for an Auto OEM.

Uhhh, that is not true in the slightest. Q1 ‘24 total auto revenue was $17.378bn and total energy storage and generation revenue was $1.635bn for a total of 7.6% of total revenue generation on $21.301bn in revenue. For full year ‘23 energy generation and storage revenue was 6.2% of total revenue generation. $6.035bn…

Yea, it really is. I am not involved in the traditional media side, so I only get top level numbers here and there. But on a Sunday in an NFL city, something like 20-30% of all the cable households are watching their NFL team play while even a major NBA game might get 5-10% viewership (or less) and a random TV show on…

I can definitely agree that they have generational bloat. So, if you consider subcompact as small, then you are right.

Depending on what you consider “small” I would argue there are a lot of choices. I think of any compact or subcompact as small and you have a ton of choices and most all with good to great gas mileage.

“be unable to fund vital business expenses … necessary to effectuate an orderly liquidation.”

I mean, I guess in this case small is very subjective. But if you include the Mini there are a bunch of “small cars” available here. From the Corolla, Civic, Elantra, GTI, Jetta, Mazda3, Bolt, Impreza, Rio, Prius, Forte, Sentra, Versa and Leaf to others.

Yea, we also have streaming services as well. But luckily we can “share” some of them with family so I think we are only paying for like 2 or 3 of them. I work in digital advertising and the streaming services landscape is a mess, but it is and will slowly but surely consolidate. Especially since some of them are…
