Thanks!
I got News about the Yunto Yudo NEV Car in the mail. Google Yunto Yudo NEV Car. 10.000 and 14.000 Dollar. Battery 32 and 49 kWh. Speed 130 km, Range 412 km. Nice Car for 10.000 Dollar. Looks like Electric Toyota Aigo. I want One.
but does it come with optional wheel bolts ??? :) :) :)
They could drill little holes in the bolt heads and tie-wire them like we learned to do on missile bolts!!
A great pity the Toyota 2023 Prius/Prius Prime wasn't also available as an EV, it is a beautiful looking car.
Greetings from Australia mate 🤠 I have owned 10 Toyotas and on my 5th Lexus vehicle never had any real issues current Lexus is a hybrid absolutely amazing to drive old mate can keep his Tesla's I would buy this corolla in about 5 seconds OH WHAT A FEELING CHEERS STEVO FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER 🦘🦘🐨🐨
Competitive advantage isn’t just in the specifications. There’s style and brand management. While I don’t care for Tesla style, I’m amazed how many people love the look. People are very proud to say they own a Tesla… to a point that so many owners start their own RUclips channel.
I think it was a big mistake for Toyota not to bring the BZ3 to the US. Even with small sales numbers, they would at least show a better transition to ev models. I would have brought over both battery packs with no options. Your only choice would be the color. If they were priced correctly, they would have no problem selling them. It would be the BYD we cannot get in the US.
I will be getting my Tesla Model 3 RWD on March 17, I would like to thank you for the immense help you were in my final decision. You are probably the only one I trust with your analysis of electric cars. I live in the Province of Quebec in Canada and when you buy a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range you get $5000 from the Federal Government and $7000 from the Provincial Government making that car very affordable. Thanks again for your help and I will continue to watch your videos. Hope your wife comes out on top of that malicious sickness.
Have mine a month….nothing I have driven compares to this car. You will love it especially if you charge at home
If it's made by Byd, have you checked it carefully for rust and electrolysis
eat a carrot dude
@@havencat9337 To see the rust better?
You ask if we would consider buying this. I'd consider any bev as long as it meets a base level of features that equals Tesla. Only then would it be considered. Does it come standard base model with an Autopilot(adaptive cruise w lane keep). Can it be upgraded with a simple in app purchase to provide auto lane change, or allow me to add fsd on subscription when needed? Does it have sota and fota? Do I have the option to schedule basic maintenance to come to me? Do I get a full suite of cameras to monitor my car and record while driving..standard feature mind you? Do I get cabin over heat protection, dog mode, camp mode? Can I schedule my car to precondition before traveling or when I'm traveling between chargers..to minimize charge times? Does the car come with an app...subscription required, to monitor my car 24.7? The list is endless. How good is it's voice command system compared to Tesla...Does this Toyota even have that? Does it come standard with heated steering wheel and seats..for the 4 season drivers of course.
Honestly, if Toyota wants to make this then compare it to a gm bolt euv or normal bolt. There is no equal comparison to Tesla unless you can come close to some of there features. Gm has an app but is locked behind paying after the free period is over...its not free all the time..like Tesla. GM is not a comparable car...and I'd venture a guess neither will Toyota.
Fun fact, plenty of teslas model S has been on the road for a good decade now and still works just fine. Guess the whole reliability argument is loosing ground...who would have guessed. Model 3 approaching 6 years now...again that reliability argument is loosing more ground..who would have guessed. Venture a guess on how the Model y will hold up? Cybertruck? Next generation platforms? Here is a clue...use your past to determine the projected reliability and improvements each generation brought...it will show a clear road map. So far Toyotas road map for bev is not good...bad range..wheels falling off..6 months to fix?...no more like software issues guised with wheel issues. Poor design, pitiful thermal management, no proven ota....so far that past is not painting a successful or reliable picture for their bev line up. Those are just the current facts..they can change...but I'm not willing to be a test subject. Just saying.
No. The bZ3 is manufactured by FAW-Toyota, despite it use BYD motor and battery pack.
I see a FAKE electric viking account !!!
considering the BZ3 is not for sale currently outside of China and you cannot buy it, your questions is a bit ridiculous.
This bz3 starts at $27k & the model 3 starts at $43k.
Where are you getting your model 3 pricing from to say that this Toyota is around the similar starting price of a model 3?
Model 3 starts at ~$33k in China... still not the same price. Especially with the incentives Toyota is adding on the top.
Why the long hood and the short tail? I want more carrying capacity in the back. A hood does nothing for me.
Years ago, in the US, I bought my two daughters Lexus ES-300s with 100k (one owner) miles on them for $6,000 apiece. The ES-300 at that time was just a top-of-the-line Camry, but bulletproof, safe transportation. My daughters put another 100kmi on the cars with nothing but brake rotors and pads every now and then "Daddy, the radio can't overpower the metal-to-metal sound from the brakes anymore. Could you have a look?" Since the 70s (?) Toyota has made reliable basic transportation (Corolla, Camry), but now they have lowered themselves to rebadging BYDs. That is sad. Nothing against BYD, but Toyota is going downhill fast. Naturally, the Japanese govt will save them, but where are the innovation and building quality that they were once so famous for?
I see Nokia in Toyota's future. Too arrogant. Too confident.
I agree, Toyota was very arrogant when refusing to fully commit to BEVs. But on the other hand, it was a very clever move to cooperate with BYD. They have high quality electric components, while Toyota is able to build cheap, reliable cars. Maybe something good will come out of this joint venture. Fingers crossed.
The Japanese government will try to save Toyota, my opinion is, that Toyota cannot be saved in an economically reasonable way. Japan will see a significant economical downfall, Germany and other countries heavily relying on legacy car manufacturers too. While Germany at least has the Tesla GF. For Japan the best thing to do would be let Toyota go bankrupt and Tesla build a new GF on the property of the former Toyota plant.
Ironically, the CEO fired last month was named "Nokia" Toyoda.
@@jennihilbrecht2503 The problem with BYD cooperation is that it will break off sooner or later. BYD gains much more from this than Toyota does in the short term, and Toyota still needs to develop their platform long term.
But if Toyota can sell rebranded BYD cars to keep them afloat, for the next few years, then it was a wise move. This only assumes BYD isn't backstabbing biyatches though.
It's been coming a long time. Toyota sells a lot of small cars in my country. And you can save quite a bit of money by just buying the Suzuki original instead.
Charging network is #1 consideration. No one can match Tesla.
You mean the B "Zed" 3?
More Americanisation hey Sam😁😉?
But good onya buddy for your great videos, especially given what you and your family are going through. Hope to see you this weekend at the show!!
looks like a BYD SEAL to me in Toyota guise , for Australian Buyers who may not yet trust the Australian BYD importer EV Direct (I don't ), and would you want to get your car serviced at My Car the old Kmart Tyre and Auto ? Aussies may go for a Toyota EV instead just for after sales service and brand recognition, or you can see Tesla have really done their homework here on pricing and Range with battery sizes ....maybe just buy a Tesla. If Tesla wants to they could make their STD range Model 3 pricing at $50-55k and they would mop the competition up.
As said in the video, the car was made based on an agreement from 3 years ago, when BYD wasn't as good as it is now. There are a lot of unknowns. How many will be made. Is the software good.
Bz4x selling well in Europe especially Norway so this is likely to do very well. Sell your Tesla stock Sam 😂😂😂😂
With Toyota saying they are rethinking the BZ line, why would you buy a BZ whatever? Buy a BYD and avoid paying a premium for the Toyota badge.
These cars look better in person than on screen. Holding off till I can drive one, but I am hopeful.
If the BZ3 has the same battery and drivetrain tech as that in the BZ4X, then the stated range/efficiency is probably going to be much worse than claimed. Bjorn Nyland just did a range test on the BZ4X AWD and efficiency was poor. even allowing for the cold conditions.
As far as I,m aware the bz4x development had nothing to do with BYD, this bz3x seems to. be closer to the atto 4 .
BZ4 uses either Panasonic or CATL (same manufacturers as many Tesla EV's). BYD is a different company.
Bz3 is totally different with bz4x. Bz3 is a Toyota joint venture with Byd for China market only.
Sam. I'm sorry to hijack the thread, but if you don't know, Nikki at Transport Evolved has been getting so much hate mail and posts she is really depressed. She had to turn off all comments, and may be shutting down the site.
Nikki, if you see this, I don't know how to best show support and I'm not sure why RUclips hasn't done something, but i would like to convey my support, sorrow for your situation and anger at the haters. There are many more of us that appreciate your work and your wonderful family, though we don't always post. Love, a subscriber.
Anyone else care to comment and cheer up this fellow EV enthusiast?
I return the thread to you, Sam, and hope your folks are doing OK as well.
At least they have parking sensors. Tesla stopped fitting these in Oct 22 and still no update on when or if vision will be able to provide a solution. Also means Summons and self-parking etc won't work either.
Should have brought back the Corona name for this car. Or are they using that name in other markets? Do they have an option for stay-on wheels?
If they sold this in the UK at same price as the M3 a lot of people would buy it for the Toyota brand on the assumption of reliability and aftersales service that Toyota usually provide. Probably it will be more expensive though.
Model 3 or this soon to be rust bucket I'll take the model 3 thanks it no contest
@@aradventuresaustralia1400 So would I if I didn't already have my M3, but a lot of people in the UK would take the Toyota. There are 1.6 million Toyotas on UK roads vs 90k Teslas.
Having said that. The BZ3 is a BYD car with Toyota branding. There is a good chance that it will be a much better electric car than the BZ4.
@@stevenjones916 BYD are rusty within 12 months fact this BYD with Toyota badges will do the same by the way it's running gear all BYD motors and batteries and before you say it's not a BYD
Hey Sam how about an update on Fisker?
I am sure it would sell well but where are they????
The Supercharger network alone is a differentiator that makes the Tesla Model 3 the obvious choice.
@@mewoozy2 true, although the charging experience is better for a Tesla, and the number of stalls is not limited. Public access is just free marketing for Tesla, and accelerating the growth of the Supercharger network. It could replace Chevron and Exxon eventually.
FSD hardware. This Toyota has nothing comparable. It makes the Tesla future proof, even if you do not purchase the FSD now.
@@stevenjones916 all of you are wrong. There are only 10 supercharger stations in the United States that are currently open to the public. 8 in New York and 2 in Cali.
@@mewoozy2 going to cost more, the chargers will be more limited, and tesla can wage charging wars later if they have to. They can cut non tesla off, jack the prices up on non teslas, limit the charges they can go too. It’s NOT THE SAME as having a tesla
@@stevenjones916 going to cost more, the chargers will be more limited, and tesla can wage charging wars later if they have to. They can cut non tesla off, jack the prices up on non teslas, limit the charges they can go too. It’s NOT THE SAME as having a tesla
Something I find fascinating that nobody mentions yet is that Tesla isn’t even making aesthetically/luxury cars yet.
The mission is to scale and to shift the industry, the next phase will be to make cars that look like a work of art. Nobody mentions this yet and they will again do this wayyy before everyone else which will make the demand simply ridiculous.
Tesla’s problem is that everyone wants one lol, despite people saying they don’t!
All you have to do is test drive one. I have been driving for many decades and have own many cars, my Tesla model S is the greatest thing I have ever driven, great fun car that goes like a rocket if need be. I particularly like the free OTA software updates that are released every 3-5 weeks. My Tesla just keeps getting better, even the range went from low 370s miles to current 402 miles in the first year of ownership thanks to tweeks in the battery management software. A recent update now makes a single chime when the traffic light turns green or the car in front moves but you don’t, you can turn it off but it’s great. Another update can instantly raise the car if it spots a large pothole so you don’t bottom out, only available on the S and X which have variable air suspension. The feature also leaves the car at a higher level if you happen to drive on a road full of potholes, later it will lower the suspension when there are no more potholes, no driver intervention. Lots of other neat stuff added, some just cosmetic but very cool, new arcade games added or improved from time to time, esp around the holiday season.
Well Tesla is like the iPhone. It represents for people innovation, a break with the past, and leading-edge technology. The data shows that despite all the growing pains, recalls, problems, people LOVE their teslas. They have captured something that their customers are lining up to wait to receive. They're eating the lunch of the "luxury" brands.
Model X and S not luxury? They have features that are unique. They are not Rolls Royce level (or price). They seem on a par with most so-called luxury vehicles and as for performance, even Lamborghini would be jealous.
@@Chainyanker007 I rode in a my3p and I was a convert inside a couple minutes. What a fun little car that really scoots when you want.
Chinese videos have posed the question what BZ3 value proposition is and who potential customers are. What distinguishes it from a BYD and who would choose it over the latter?
I would be concerned about Byd's rust problem in the toyota
In the northeast USA, cars are dated by the winters they've survived.
This one may be a winner for Toyota if the BYD batteries hold up. Thanks Sam.
Does it come with wheels?
My feeling is that there will be 256 models to compete against tesla's model 3/y. But the competition is all about production at large SCALE and at a PROFIT!
I'd buy a Tesla Model 3 before the Toyota. Tesla is far ahead of other car makers in every regard and extending that lead. Tesla's future looks bright. :)
Are we honestly supposed to believe that this car with the same size battery as Tesla M3 will get the same range with similar performance? LOL. Seriously?
I'm actually amazed these companies are trying to beat the model 3 so much so that 2 companies had to come together to figure it out . Why can't they compete with Tesla's best selling model Y.
They are all relatively expensive, but for what you get and compared to other decent range EVs, a Model 3 rwd is now good value.
Something is crazy. My local Toyota dealer has 2 Camrys in stock. They think they are clever with $6K additional markup. I don't know how they keep salesmen on the lot. The salesmen are on commission only, with nothing to sell.
Apparently, I'll be driving my 1998 Toyota Camry for another 25 years. Or, until the $25K Tesla is available. Then solar and power wall.
dealers here in central Florida have been at 3/4 empty lots for 2 years. F them and their markups
Lifetime of service? Even after bankruptcy?
Lifetime of Toyota.
Will the wheels stay on now?
As usual, really solid reporting. However since it’s made in China, only sold in China and I don’t live in China I don’t really care about it.
Tesla's biggest problem in Europe is they don't have a reputable service system
Tesla: many hates a Tesla car. But, many of them, quietly ordered a Tesla car.
Like being annoid of Apple not innovating external features of the iPhone while being pro-Apple.
No. Haters can't afford to buy a Tesla. Their "hate" is just jealousy...
@@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck just how you can be impressed how far BYD has come but still choose to remain in the Tesla ecosystem. I'm just pro Tesla and that's all there is to it.
@@sneid3936- Like a Tesla, it’s not so much the external stuff, it’s what the software can do, which can be pretty amazing, I know, I drive a Tesla. The OTA updates I get every month or so keep making my car better as time passes, not something ICE drivers can say, let alone many other non-Tesla EVs. With an iPhone it’s the range of available apps, awesome.
@@Chainyanker007 to be honest that car is magic. Not only the software but under the hood sees changes on regularly. From the motors to wiring, to braking, noise cancelation.... I'm impressed to be honest. It's just like the iPhone
def worth a try.... Toyota is a professional pioneer
Your way too baised toward Telsa. Toyota is Toyota, even if byd helped build it. Toyota always puts out good products.
Toyota completely squandered their electric advantage they had with the Prius. Not to mention, they can now rename their primary development project as Bye-drogen cars. Some very poor product development leadership at toyota over the past decade.
@Zigest take a look at the sales figures on the bz4x, and then swallow hard. Same with hydrogen. Abysmal for even a startup let alone a giant. They have a lot of ground to make up, so they're getting BYD to help. Squandered lead.
Toyota had an all electric Rav4 years ago.
Hello Sir. Thank you for another up to date video.
After watching Bjorn test on the Bz4x range test the conclusion was that Toyota technology is way behind tesla and others who make electric cars and efficiency is also not impressive either so for me Toyota electric is a No.
Right now still building my crypto portfolio mainly investing in yield generating assets such as Hex, Hedron and Icosa.
Once the time is right will take some profit and surprise myself with either a used Model Y, Ionic 5 or Kia Ev6.
All the best and hope your wife will recover soon.
My friend, my sister and myself managed to beat cancer so I am sure your lady will do too.
How many high speed charging sessions in 24 hours?
(BZ4X has 2, people say. Then in charges significantly slower, way slower in that 24 hours).
Difference is that the Tesla has better Range, better Battery options, better motors, better Tech… and it’s known to be reliable. The Toyota has no proven history.
Last point: Tesla has the reputation of being completely unreliable, look at the reports in the US and EU. Toyota has the best reputation of all automakers.
Toyota is most reliable car in the world according to consumer reports US/UK over 20 years. Fact. Also Tesla has largest panel gaps in the industry...
Toyota has a proven record in EV. The 2010-2014 RAV4 EV was pretty good and had a Tesla power train.
@Doc Snider I don't see any such report but do see a lot of RUclips commentary make such statements.
@@docsnider8926 yeah the wheels fall off Toyota ev reputation
Sam how much will this BZ3 cost in Australia ?
Love your videos, keep up the great work.
Yeah the latest Corolla roofline is very low!
China only
Do you get a prize if the wheels fall off?
🤣
BYD cars can hold their wheels
U definitely get a prize if u enter exit Tesla using large panel gap technology...
@@ciybersal9833 Is it 4 or 5 mm wide? See if your micro penis fits. If so it is 4 mm.
Great information. EV’s are in the hype phase at the moment and to top it off dealers are gouging customers so something like a Bolt ends up costing near what a Tesla Model 3 costs. I’ll be keeping my hybrids for awhile longer.
Even hybrids will eventually be banned like ICE.
In the U.K. EV prices have collapsed this year due to Elon's price cuts and people realising charging infrastructure isn't being rolled out quick enough. A 2 year old low mileage 250 mile range MG5 has been sat on a dealers forecourt near work for months and is now under £20K.
Awesome info as usual !
Is it rear wheel drive or front wheel drive?
The biggest weakness of the BYD Atto 3 (apart from no phone app) is it’s a FWD. Terrible torque steer and scrabble from the nasty rubber they put on there! No way you would choose this over a Tesla after driving both (which I have done).
I look at the price of cars in the UK by comparison and we are being totally ripped off.
Your electricity prices are a similar ripoff. Makes me very happy to be a National Grid stockholder.
In north ATL you rarely drive a mile without seeing a Tesla now..
Toyota bZ4X buyers in Norway return their cars
Published 2023-02-21 06:40
Several Norwegian car buyers who snapped up Toyota's new electric car have to return it or stop their order after several reports of short range in the winter.
They said it's not good enough because of the security that don't match their expectations. Battery tech is one thing, but what you bring to keep them safe is another one.
I don't get you. In one video I hear you collecting money for your wife's treatment, and in the same video I hear you talking about buying a brand new car this year. Why beg for money if you do have money for a new car? Set some priorities?
Any new cars priced at 20K in the states, I will jump on it right away, let alone EVs
I’m with you….. why buy this when you can get a BYD in the first place? So no I would not buy it or any car that is not actually made by the company that warrants it.
Wow to give all those perks to return customers Toyota must be losing all their loyalty base there in China. This is a plea for them to not leave the brand.
@@stevenjones916 Thanks for that info. 👍
The power train for sure is BYD…. that, for me, is what counts the most. What body you slam on top is not as important. I would rather get a BYD interior and the same power train for thousands less than pay the premium for a Toyota badge.
Three Toyota dealers locally ? I was surprised to see several Mustang Mach Es locally. Then I thought about that fact that the local Ford dealer has a 70 year track record.
if the bz3 was being sold in Aus for those prices (equivalent to M3 in the long range and ~ 5k less for the short range) it would have a huge order book. BYD is still virtually unknown here so toyota wouldn't suffer the comparison it does in china and 5k cheaper than a tesla with a 400km+ range would entice most buyers with the reputation that toyota has in Aus. I am still amazed that no manufacturer is targeting an actual corolla sized EV at a reasonable price. the Dolphin (if appropriately priced) will fly off the shelf
I would definitely buy this over a Tesla a) Its a hatchback but doesn't look like a Model 3 attached to a balloon pump. b) There are three Toyota dealers locally where I could get it serviced. my Biggest reservation about MG is that they will go the way of Proton and other cars it is difficult to get spares for.
TESLA model3 proven winner and very sorted out. So no BZ3 or whatever? I'm looking to a Tesla model2. How about you?
There is a rumor circulating about BZ3 price reduction from 27500$ to 24500$ is it true?
If Toyota goes Bankrupt say bye to parts and free service
It is not the "same price as a Tesla Model 3"? Model 3 starts at $33k in China. BZ3 starts at $27k. Then, as you mention in the video, a couple grand of additional promotional discounts from Toyota. Add it up, and it is around $8000 less expensive.
Starting at $6000-$8000 less, I think it will attract customers. If it were the same price (which it is not) then it would be more difficult.
If they made it look like the new Prius, they'd have a winner on their hands.
I'm still a Toyota-Fan. My old Hybrid-Corolla is so much more relaible than every Tesla ever build. Don't get me wrong, Tesla is great in many ways, but I really hope the bz3 will be introduced to europe asap. A cheap, reliable BEV, that's all i want. ;)
So your experience with a hybrid Corolla leads you to beleive a rebadged china-built BYD will be more reliable than a Tesla?
This is basically byd cars not toyota
I don't know a single Tesla owner that has ever broken down and I know quite a few. I've done 74,000 miles in my 2016 model S with no issues. Toyotas are reliable but the hybrids are no drivers car, it's like they are powered by elastic bands 🤣 All revs and no power or response.
I think you're 💯% Wrong on this, Tesla is the better more reliable brand here. Toyota was it for the Legacy Auto brands.
@@Ry-lx2kl I haven't heard about BYDs in Europe much yet, but they actually seem to be reliable. China-built is no longer an insult.
I have heard a lot of stories from Tesla-Owners who have to wait for spare parts and pay hefty prices for repairs.
Toyota has clearly an advantage here and maybe BYD can bring Toyota to it's old glory. I don't know, i'm just hoping for a better future. ;)
Holy shit. The Tesla effect getting that price down!
Depending on margin, this may be a very good move by Toyota. Corolla has a brand name, people will buy it.
In answer to the question, yes I would; if it was available in the UK (it isn’t) and was a lot cheaper than a Tesla. At the moment I can only just afford a second hand Hyundai Ioniq.
So BYD in the United States via Toyota? 🤟🏼 someday
If they build them in the USA (Fremont?) and get the rebate, the price will be right.
Hope they sell these in Japan and rest of Asia!!
BYD already sells and also in rest of Asia..
I would not buy either of them . I would buy the same value if f Tesla shares . Better option
At least Toyota grasped that without a joint venture with BYD it has no chance at all.
Looks like a BYD Seal with different body panels.
@@stevenjones916 probably the same chassis, instead of doing a lousy job on repackaging byd tech like the BZx4 did. Might better off having BYD do very things
At this stage in the Ev game, I ONLY trust Tesla. Better battery tech, better software, better range, better infrastructure, better acceleration, better overall experience. You’d be a deadset 24 carat plonker to go with anything else right now.
Since there are no BYD cars offered for sale in the US, offering this Corolla in the US will give Americans a chance to buy a BYD vehicle with Toyota service and warranty. I think it can be successful in the US.
if they can keep the prices from low.
If they build them here, and get the rebate instead of the import duty.
From what I heard the bZ3 is cheaper in price to the Tesla Model 3. 27k starting price for the bZ3 vs 33-34k for the Tesla Model 3.
No. Toyota should have come out with this version five years ago. No charging network, along with lower range/performance and the lack of FSD potential kill the appeal. On top of that Toyota will lose money on every one of these they sell for the next three or four years.
Nah, I'm getting the Aptera until my lot owner is willing to upgrade my utility pole (probably not because it would have to upgrade for connecting houses)
Or I'll just get solar and buy Tesla's compact car and have the solar company hook up the 220 outlet I need.
I won't buy a new car until I can trade it for one share of Tesla stock. Until then, I am on the bus and Lyft
One positive for me is it's got the Speedo in the correct place, old Tesla S where ok but M3 and Y don't like the Speedo where it is , far too small would be better if it had an option to have it three times larger on a colourful back ground so my eyes could locate , while using varifocals specs you should not have to look down away from the road to find your speed. Nothing wrong with BYD blade battery ,Tesla is wanting to use them. Toyota just want a Japanese battery company for a Japanese car. Also looks like it might be a hatchback. Better looking than the model Y.
Free maint? EV’s don’t need maint, so that’s like saying we’ll give you some air to breath for free.
EV's do need maintenance, just not near as much as ICE vehicles. It's like saying EVs have zero emissions. they do, they have zero tailpipe emissions. Please stick to facts.
Brake pads, brake disc, reduction gear oil, motor coolant, shock absorbers, 12v batteries, cabin filters are still maintenance item
People say that you never need to change the break pads on an EV because of regenerative braking. Ironic then to see on the annual service for an EV it requires the brake callipers to be disassembled and the pistons regreased to prevent them seizing up due to lack of use. Non-regenerative vehicles often go multiple years without the need to change the pads, and changing the pads is probably a lot more simple than the labour required to regrease the brake pistons.
EVs don't need Maintenance?... lmao! The Fan Boy is strong in this one!
A Tesla Inc.-inspired price war among electric vehicle makers in China is taking a toll on even the most resilient players, as evidenced by BYD Co.’s staggering $18 billion drop in the past month.
sorry...but it looks way way better then a TEsla...
They should have rebranded it after the failure of the bZ4x. Why have it connected to something that is a known commercial failure?
It is hard to become a smaller company.
Who to fire and how.
Service an obvious victim.
Difficult task.
Best people leave.
Increasingly bad situation.
Yes, the operating cost drop much less than the revenue. My prediction, Toyota will generate a loss in in 2024.
When you throw lots of freebies at a car it's generally a sign the product can't sell itself and 3xpectations are low!
any amount spent on buying any EV other than a tesla is a waste of money.
No I would buy a 2023 Hybrid Prius for 6000 less.
At the same price I would buy the Model 3. But what I will actually buy is a Model 2 as a second car
This is interesting. Toyota was using a Tesla platform years ago, but now they’re using BYD.
I think the bz3 look better than a Tesla 3. But let us see some test before we judge the car. See if there is some Toyota influence compared with a BYD Atto car.
Yeah I would Toyota Quality not Tesla Tinny !
The big question isn't "Will the wheels fall off?" ....is it?
I'm a "corolla" only car owner 1999, 2001, 2015. I want a "basic" "ugly" "high quality/reliability" and "cheap" car made by toyota(japan or us...okay). Also, serviceable by my own hands.
Not a BYD sub-contracted alternate supplier crap. Also, don't want a something with more algebraic names. I want an all electric Corolla made by Toyota with "basic" performance but an Incredibly low "internal resistance" battery that I will be trickle charging so it will last forever. No problem, I can wait till they get right my 2015 corolla will be good till 2030.
This is a Chinese Car with a Toyota name.
