I updated the video to include BMW's EV plan that was recently unveiled  in the company's annual conference. While headlines were extremely  bullish, and that was what BMW tried to convey – checking the numbers  shows the bullishness is skin deep:
• They acknowledge that getting  to 50% by the end of the decade is too late so say it will happen before  – but don't say when they expect it to happen.
• They're still hyping Hydrogen
• And they're fighting to enable them to sell ICE in Europe long after 2035.

If you watched the previous version and only want to catch the differences, they are:
• Intro - Updates a few pics to smooth the flow
• Prologue - Added a note about BMW's plans leaving me bearish
• Chapter 4 - discussing BMW's latest plans

Their plans call for sustained 50% growth.
Let's hope they make it, but optimistic I am not.

🎉The day BMW sealed its own fate (updated with BMW's latest EV plan)

Ad-free, early-access for patrons I updated the video to include BMW's EV plan that was recently unveiled in the company's annual conference. While headlines were extremely bullish, and that was what BMW tried to convey – checking the numbers shows the bullishness is skin deep: • They acknowledge that getting to 50% by the end of the decade is too late so say it will happen before – but don't say when they expect it to happen. • They're still hyping Hydrogen • And they're fighting to enable them to sell ICE in Europe long after 2035. If you watched the previous version and only want to catch the differences, they are: • Intro - Updates a few pics to smooth the flow • Prologue - Added a note about BMW's plans leaving me bearish • Chapter 4 - discussing BMW's latest plans Their plans call for sustained 50% growth. Let's hope they make it, but optimistic I am not ___ In this video I try to answer why leaders of the traditional world – like BMW and Toyota - become dead-last laggards once disruption arrives. It's a seemingly illogical story, as it shows how BMW's destiny was pre-written years ago, but watch how the dots connect and I'm sure you'll see it too. The story STARTS with what I put in my October 2022 Patron newsletter – but that's just the beginning of it, because going deeper down this rabbit hole uncovered a more profound truth. It's one of my favorite videos – I hope you like it too. My next video will return to Tesla and engineering, as I hope to answer a big question regarding Cybertruck which AFAIK nobody else manages to answer yet 😉 The recording was finalized over a week ago, so shoutouts for patrons arriving after that will appear in the next video.

I will not shed a tear when all legacy automakers DIE ! They do not care about safety, customers, their own history, emissions, environment or anything other then tacking every single $ out of the customers pocket in any way possible. ALL legacy makers were caught on emission cheating, BMW & VW Group & Mercedes were caught running a cartel in Germany in terms of slowing EV progress, my "wild" guess is that all the slowdowns and protests for Tesla Giga Berlin were sponsored by the three. Current cars are made with cheap subpar parts that brake as soon as warranty expires, "designed to fail" (speaking out of experience !, Ive been driving German cars for a LOOOONG time). In older cars parts were much better quality, parts were protected from elements, even quality of steel/paint was better. But yes current cars have coloured double stitching on mulit coloured lether and lot's of buttons! FWIW I owned Chrysler, Chevrolet, Mazda, Toyota, Honda, BMW, VW, & a lot of AUDI, I loved AUDI ! EVERYTHING I said here is my opinion or perhaps my imagination and not financial advice.

I have no idea why BMW is so pushing FoolCells/hydrogen. There is no hope for this company unless there is a change in leadership. But probably it is just to late for them.

Peter

Control of fuel supply! The legacy auto industry is not just car makers; it's the oil companies, refineries, distribution, and parts supply, dealer service network....They ALL work together! With FoolCells/hydrogen you can NOT plug you car at home, and refuel like you can with pure EVs. Controlling electricity rates is out of their control. But if they force car owners to use hydrogen then they are 100% in control of fuel source/price/availability. In addition FoolCells/hydrogen are much more complicated and require many parts that suppliers would produce. Also FoolCells/hydrogen require maintenance that dealers can service, dealers make most of their profits form service.......EVERYTHING I said here is my opinion or perhaps my imagination and not financial advice.

Connecting The Dots

And you;re the first I know who mentions this cartel! I don't want to make too many legacy OEM videos, but i have a huge video in the back of my mind about the German OEM cartel. They always pushed a narrative of competition and technology, while in fact they were colluding and holding technology back in so many fronts. Would you guys want me to do this soon, or just focus on Tesla and future?
