I haven't placed any faith in the mainstream media since 2001.

@@LKDesign WTC7 just won't go away... LOL...
I love the part when reporter was telling us it collapsed while it was still standing...
then about 20 minutes or so later poof...
I remember that morning... woke up instantly unemployed beings I drove a tour bus at the time.
I think that they actually believe their own delusion , sad really .
@AlaskanInsights Lucky Larry said in a speech that they began planning the new bldg 7 in June of 2000.
Mark Twain also said “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
I think this helps explain why there are so many Liberal and Labor voters.
It's easier to fool EVangelists.
But seeing as this is a very sensitive topic for them and causes much distress, it's way more fun to just laugh at them. 🤣
@@lapamful It is the Luddites who seem sensitive, posting multiple FUD videos a day. If you don't want to drive an EV, that is fine. But why are you so salty that others do? EVs seem to upset you guys so badly, that you have to lie to pretend they are not thriving.
@@TroySavarythe facts show they AREN'T thriving. They're more like "dying on the vine". It's fine if you want to drive an EV. It's fine if you love them. But, you should do ALL of that without any subsidization and government coercion. Plain and simple.
@@speedyserbian You are right, they should not be subsidized. Government should not be making purchasing decisions for citizens. If it makes you feel any better, I collected no subsidies for the one I dive, just as I collected no susidies for the ICE vehicle I drive either.
Wouldn't trust a single word Bloomberg says.
They are deliberately misleading their readership.
@@marcusskyfall Definitely, They would know that they are deliberately misleading people in to a scam. I don't trust anything the mainstream media says. If they promote anything the government wants to mandate I see it as a warning sign to stay away from that product at all costs.

@@bengordon7635 Same in Michigan, if it moves you can drive it... And we have among the lowest uptake of EVs in the country. They put in 4 chargers at my local grocery. For a few months they sat empty, now they're always full- with normal cars.

Keep pushing the truth out, Simon. Thanks & well done.
rise of Chinese cars in Australia has been meteoric, jumping from 4,154 sales in 2014 to 193,433 last year.
Thank you 🙏
when the dealerships are pre-registering new cars to themselves to meet targets for “selling” EVs , then they are definitely struggling.
Bingo. They do it just before the end of a calendar year so deliveries look good even if those deliveries do not take place until January. Or move their employees in to their next company car early.
buying your own product to met production demands. "Um, put me down for another three, I guess?"
That would then be a second hand vehicle therefore discounted further 😅
To an extent, that has been the case in the motor industry for decades, meeting targets from the manufacturer triggered a significant volume discount, so was a no brainer to register cars, today it is just to avoid fines on lack of demand for EV’s, same logic though.
GM and Ford count a car as sold when the dealer takes delivery. American stealerships are independent from the manufacturer so they can kind of get away with this white lie. If they registered them they would have to sell them as used, not new.
When you buy ur own worthless vehicles then set them on storage lots to rot.
Just to say you sold all those vehicles.
Pure madness.
What would the incentive be for car companies to be doing what your lunatic, tin foil hat theory states? If they are not selling, why do I see hundreds every day driving around my rather small city?
Which is what is happening in Red China.
@@dougkabler3032 China is famous for that, look at the new ghost cities.
Have a look at how many carparks are full of stranded ICE cars in China that can't sell
@@dougkabler3032 they are also using this underhanded trick to fool their investors to continue to fund their sham companies and their government for all those sweet sweet subsidies.
Thank you for exposing them MGUY!
The irony is that he is literally exposing himself. As almost all of his videos misrepresent these statistics. EV sales are not about market domination. They are about shifting trends. As EV sales are eating into positive sentiment for ICe engines.
@@Audioremedy0785yep. Electric car sales remained strong in the first quarter of 2024, surpassing those of the same period in 2023 by around 25% to reach more than 3 million.
@@Audioremedy0785 They're not shifting trends when percentages go down. And yes, it is about market domination according to governments and EVangelists like yourself. Only when the percentages are going down, all of a sudden it's just about a "shift".
@@McVaio I don’t think it’s about market domination at all. It’s about a market shift in trends as people are quite aware that most EV sales currently are people shifting from ICE cars to electric. So when 7-8% of new sales in a year like we have seen in the uk being EVs is a really significant shift. In isolation that’s not much. But if that’s happening every year for 5-10 years that’s plenty of people moving across to EVs. No one sees EVs currently as a truly mass market product given their (moderately) high entry point. But as time goes on and these cars become more affordable, larger level adoption is inevitable. Even Mguy is starting to accept that as you can hear in his videos.

Statistics can prove anything. My favourite is to ask people "how many road traffic accidents are caused by drunk drivers?" They reply "25%". Therefore 75% must be caused by sober drivers. Ergo, you are three times more likely to have an accident if you're sober, the statistics prove it!!
That is the worst example I have ever seen In the history of the internet. It does nothing more than prove how idiotic the people in the comments are.
Considering the two sons of Adam/Eve, when one took out the other, the total number of people on Earth reduced by 25%. Not even funny mustache man in 30's/40's Germany made an impact that large.

Statistician here... agree. No sample size given, missing context, completely worthless information. The graphic was designed to mislead as well.
here's a sample- Australian EV sales rose 86% in 2022 over 2021. Source- VFACTS.
Australian EV sales in 2022 accounted for 3.8% of the market
Australian EV sales in 2023 accounted for 7.2% of the market. That IS a near 100% increase. Source-VFACTS.
Regardless of how many EVs are sold, I'll never buy one.

I always keep my cars as long as they last or until they don't fit my needs. BEVs don't fit any of my needs, no amount of persuasion or media manipulation can change my mind.
We know EVs are dead.
When people finally realized their value it was over.
They are dead. But still selling in record numbers. The level of delusion amongst you idiots literally blows my mind. Tesla made a profit of over a billion in q1. A company being said to be ‘struggling’ in a ‘dead industry’ turning over 22bn in a 3 month period.
15 million EVs were sold last year. The number is projected to be 20 million this year.

I don't think I've ever seen a Bloomberg RUclips video that had its basic premise correct. Their journalists and editors are incredibly ignorant.

Willfully ignorant and/or willfully deceptive.
I said the same thing to a EV fan in here the other week. Of course they refused to understand the concept of selling 100 last year and 200 this year then you get a 100% increase. Paid shrills.
Good malaprop. Shrills, shills. I'll have to remember that one.
The paidcshill is this clown who makes 2-3 bullshit anti-EV videos a day. Whoever is payingbhim must pay for quantity, not quality, because his propaganda is easily debunked.

● EVs
● Dumb people

Any correlation? 😜
@@hendrickswart4122 so statistically , in the last 50 years , only 33% of growth was positive.
Also don't forget a lot of the EV sales this year were due to massive discounts just to get the old inventory off dealer lots, big discounts that are unsustainable
Flogging a dead horse does not make the dead horse come alive. EV's are a failure
I just don’t understand what planet you guys are on saying things like this. They are eating into the ice market in record numbers, selling in record numbers, winning awards left right and centre, saving owners and absolute fortune. The only place they are failing is in the heads of the mentally ill.
EV's are fine and cheaper per mile for those who can charge from home: for those that can't, then buy petrol (not diesel). (Encouraging 'Diesel' cars was another EU program! - look it up if you don't believe me!)
Let the market decide like it always has. Some of you people need to adopt a 'live and let live' attitude.
Do not buy anything Chinese (if you can help it) - China is now as bad as the Russians (fascists). That means not buying MG, Volvo and Lotus. Sadly most of the batteries come from China! We must build batteries in the west.
The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car model in 2023, topping 1.15 million sales = Google fact!
Another record for EV sales in Norway was set in 2023: 82.4 percent of all new passenger cars sold were fully electric, up from 79.3 percent in 2022. They can't all be wrong! Google fact.
Some Tesla cars will run for 1 million miles - very few engine parts and the batteries can last longer than you think. A Tesla is 50 times less likely to set on fire than a petrol or diesel car! = Google fact.
I only buy cars that are at least 6 years old - so 'my' BMW i5 electric car has only just been made! I only buy BMW cars because BMW have the best engineers from top to bottom :0). I have been indoctrinated in the following: BMW discovered the magic formula of silky smooth 6 cylinder engine driving just the rear wheels on a sports car chassis. Sadly this is now a dying breed, hence, I keep my old BMW cars (and motorbikes: Yamaha 2 stroke and Honda 4 stroke).

I remember when Pontiac canceled production of the Firebird because they only sold 60,000 of them in a year.
I had a 2002 firebird which was the last year of production I think. Fun car but it had some flaws. The rear suspension was prone to wheel hop so if you were pushing it hard in a corner it could suddenly and very unexpectedly go from glued to the road to spinning in a circle.
Statistics are great. Sell one ev in January. Sell two in February. SALES HAVE DOUBLED.😂😂😂
tezz-lah did sell only one vehicle, in South Korea, in January of 2024. A single model y.
In my street of 220 households last year there was one house with an EV. Last week a 2nd house with an EV appeared. That's a 100% increase! I estimate there's 400 vehicles in total. So the % of EVs are now 0.5%. 😂
Wait a few weeks for the fire 🔥 it will be 100% decrease
Please have some respect for those that fail to comprehend the cheating that is going on. It is now known that EVs are making people sick, and that includes sick in the head. Plenty online about the damage the EMF fields are doing to people and the damage to unborn children is yet yo be fully documented and exposed. Articles are telling us also that many pet dogs are vomiting in these EVs and it is being related to the same mechanism as sea-sickness.

Electric Viking does the same thing when he uses percentages. Never give raw data.
Financial news normally compares actual results to expected results and Bloomberg certainly know this.
This article would be enough to make me cancel a Bloomberg subscription if I had one.
Ford told investors in 2021 that it would be able to sell 600,000 EVs in 2023.
It had previously projected sales of 300,000 for 2023
The massive investment in EVs was based on this new projection of massive sales
Ford actually sold 192,000 EVs last year and had to massively subsidize each sale.
This isn't just narrowly missed the target - this is a not even in the ballpark level of error.
I'm somewhat surprised that Ford didn't have a major shakeup in the C-Suite to get rid of everyone involved in the fiasco.
I try not to ascribe to malicious intent what can be adequately explained by incompetence. There was a time when a financial publication like Bloomberg would have drawn its employees from the financial industry, where the scrum on the trading floor would weed out the innumerate. These days they're hiring people on the cheap, straight out of journalism school. They know nothing about math, science, economics, business, or even just life. Their editor says "Give me 3000 words on EVs" and they jump on the Internet, Google some statistics from god-knows-where, and regurgitate an article. If they're especially conscientious they might even bother to restate the information they've copied and pasted in their own words.
The other day me and a friend were cracking up reading a financial article pumping up some random company. One reason it gave was the favoroable p/e ratio, how low it was and explaining that "lower is better". Looking at the stats it was a negative p/e so it was hemmoraging cash, and at a pretty good clip!
Having taught statistics and probability I always used to tel my students to check the raw data for themselves when analyzing anything with percentages.
I am so committed to my agenda, I will buy whatever they tell me and do whatever they tell me. I'm a critical thinker.

The local Ford dealer didn’t have a single EV on the lot for over a year magically 2 Mach-Es appeared about 5 weeks ago and they are still sitting there today - in percentages isn’t that an infinite increase in EVs for sale over last year?
As a statical analyst, I always look at the raw data in a 7 parts test. This is the only true way to garner useful information.
I remember being taught how statistics can be used to mislead.
The example went something like this: You’re given statistics that, following an aeroplane crash, 80% of survivors had read the safety briefing card before take-off.
This could be true and used to convince you that you should read the safety briefing card.
However, what could be left out is the statistic that 100% of the people who died had read the safety briefing card.
Obviously its a scenario and not saying you should disregard airline safety advice, but an example of how presenting accurate-yet-incomplete statistics can misdirect, and it’s done all the time.
My data shows that 96.24% of drivers in car accidents have valid driver's licenses. See how dangerous it is to drive with a valid license!
I always have a joint and a couple of beers before I drive because 5% of drivers are drunk and stoned when they crash. Safety first!
When they don't want to show a simple chart of total car sales vs EV sales, month by month over the last 5 years compared to government targets, you know it's because it looks bad.
They do want to and they do. It's called VFACTs and it's instantly accessible. I got onto it in Wheels magazine, who publish it monthly. (top 10 models, top 10 makers) They also do a comparo with last year. Seriously, this data is a few clicks away for those who want the truth.
Thank you for doing the deep-dive into the actual truth of the market.
Keep up the good work...cheers
Even the RAC's in each State are promoting EV's as amazing through their monthly publications. There is not a word about the drop in resale value, the dangers of thermal runaway, the cost of battery replacement, range issues for purpose or lack of charger infrastructure needed. They are not 'green' and can be life endangering when the exits are electronic and a fire occurs. They're a crap idea all round.
The RAC in my state has pushed for years for more charging stations and has pressured the government. Articles. Spokespeople on the TV news. So have the clubs in other states, _to pressure the federal government as a group._ They've spoken at the Press Club.
They do an annual comparo of models, including claimed mileage Vs. actual. They do costs per kilometre. Sales depreciation. They've covered EV fires.
While in a Services NSW office regarding cars, I saw they had charts and quotes from RACs.

Overall EV sales are up (apart from Tesla & Polestar) but only in line with all new car sales. Far from rising exponentially (how many EV fanboys understand what exponential means?) EV sales have levelled off.

"Statistics don't lie, but liars do statistics."
"The big print giveth and the small print taketh away."
I've heard that there was a year in the 1950s when the Soviet Union announced they had doubled the number of computers they in in a 5 Year Plan. That is, they built their second one.
They've exhausted the market of people who have $100,000 to blow on a gimmick only to have to pay the full car price again for a battery around 80,000 miles.

Mark Twain also said ..."what the fuck is that!"
It was never recorded, but trust me, at one time or another he said it.

Illinois did the same thing when they increased their income tax from 3% to 5%.
They tried telling everybody who was upset about the 67% increase was really only a 2% increase.

Thank you for your videos.
For all statistics, there's a 90% chance that they're accurate 5% of the time, but there's only a 10% chance of that.
Always check the "sample size" of any poll or survey. 😉
Anyone quoting a "percentage" figure should always specify it's a percentage OF something.
"Of what?" is the big question.
Like when Mguy quoted the other week about how Volvo sales were hugely down and gave a %. He didn’t explain that it wasn’t a total %. Just in one market and that actually their sales were hugely up.
Hi Simon, It was Benjamin Disraeli who coined that phrase, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain was his nom de plume, a Mississippi Steam Boat term, from his days as the youngest Paddle Steamer Captain on that vast river) was paraphrasing him.
Sounds like EV sales are…”safe and effective”.
Thank you for your intelligence and credibility!
And "sold" in the US is sent to a dealer, not the consumer. And a new phenomenon is happening here. Dealer repossessions where dealers had over the keys to new cars holding the loans and the new cars end up at auctions for the used market.
So glad to see!!
"Cooking the books" is not a new thing, if you want something to be, talking it up may change perceptions to the slant you want.
Happens at every month end in many businesses, found it amusing myself, they never did cotton on to how much laughter I was trying to suppress.
I’m married to an accountant, incessant smell of cooking in my house!!😳
So EV sales shows that less than 10 percent of vehicle buyers were suckers!
Here in the UK you can't give them away, they are only viable for city dwellers
that can charge them at home or spend half the day looking for a vacant charger
that works.
Statistics can say what they like, EV's as they are are not the future for most of us.
Hybrids perhaps, but for me living miles away from civilisation they are no good either.
Hybrids combine the worst of both worlds.
@@Eidolon1andOnly Have you ever been in a hybrid or spoken to its owner? If not, where did you get this information from?
Now that they encourage and reward crime in America, the stealing of copper cables from recharging stations will be quite lucrative. 😢
For example, the US Gov. telling it's citizens that the rate of inflation is only about 3% when it's more like 40% or more! Gaslighting at it's best!
40%? In a year? A quarter? A month? Source, please.
About all I know that went up at that rate, over the just last year, was maybe onions?---and I know my onions😛
@@antilogism Thanks, we need humour to take the edge off extremism.
One of my favorite Mark Twain quotes!
I've just picked an EV.
......as the worst idea ever!
Awesome work highlighting the creative statistics deployed here
“But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty's figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty's forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at 145 million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than 145 millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot. And so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain.” -1984
Are'nt they the Ministry of truth?!
@@seantomoyep. Bloomberg and the government are always “revising” their numbers up or down as they see fit. Simon here is like Winston Smith.
U r correct that percentages can b very misleading. They brcef compare it to TRITAK vehicles sold
Standard practice over on the Electric Viking channel and other Tesla fanboy channels…?

Abraham Lincoln said “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time”. This is a hard lesson the EV manufacturers are learning.
Misleading MSM, I'm am shocked.....🤣
Great video and info as usual !
Its like I said in your other video "The MAGIC of CREATIVE MATHS to help FOOL GULLIBLE PEOPLE!"
EVs will never go away however they will eventually slide into their proper place in the market.
'Blomberg'! Lol! Like the Senator in the film 'Shooter':- "The Truth Is What I Say It Is"!
Keep going MGUY!
The emphasis on "metrics" has become a mantra in modern society-education is seriously affected by it. The problem is that "metrics" are often incorrect to the task to which they are put and manipulated to provide the outcome--often budget or personnel cuts. The other issue with statistics is that to truly understand them one has to understand probability theory. Most people don't including highly trained people. "Metrics" are seldom the best measure for use in politics and policy.
The same goes for risk assessments, there is a UK HSE report I read in research I was making into different risk modeling methods. I was not entirely shocked to find that a large national entity had employed a risk specialist company to back engineer a risk assessment that originally concluded a task could not be completed due to a too high risk level. There were several other instances highlighted, I do wonder how this might be used to demonstrate that Lithium batteries are as safe as any other inert material…..
Manipulating data and information is even more common in all aspects of life, which is why is critical thinking ( or clinical research) is actively discouraged in places of education. The millennials are in the main, not interested in challenging any vested interests, they are programmed that way in order to avoid being cancelled.
Well explained mate
Wait...these companies are losing tens of thousands of dollars on every ev they sell. So, do they even want to sell more? Can they stay in business selling more evs?
Whataworld
Want it 140k for Ford? That's the definition of unsustainable
they really dont have a choice, at least not in the US. Biden changed the EPA guidelines which dictate a companies emissions requirements by certain years... effectively the only way a company can reach the emissions goals by 2032 is if 2/3rd of their passenger car fleet consists of "zero emissions" vehicles. Otherwise the US Govt just fines them into oblivion anyway. They are stuck between consumers who don't want the product, and a government who is hell bent on pushing it on everyone. And financially the automaker gets to take it in the shorts regardless which one they listen to.
