    This makes total sense to me and is totally the way I see things going. They are all going the way of the Dodo and whilst the legacy fumble any decisions and refuse to embrace the EV, many other companies Tesla, BYD, Kia, Hyundai, Geely and the other Chinese companies that have emebraced EV's will have taken their customers and therefore the profits.

    Toyota could default on the loan. Then the debtholders become shareholders. Fixed costs are normally sunk costs - in other words, they money has all been paid. Plant, R&D - these dwarf things like rent and fixed staff. None of this helps with not having a competitive EV - which is the real problem.

    Hard to know if Toyota and VW will go belly up, I really hope they do as they have done fraudulent activities. They are still very big manufactures so will be interesting to see if they can turn their slow-moving transition to EVs around.

    The problem with Toyota isn't that they are focusing on hybrids, it's just that their hybrids aren't good enough and they are not offering any decent EV offerings. If they can actually release a decent EV, they'll be back on a path towards growth. If not, they'll continue to decline over time.

    Well, that was depressing! For the next 3-4 years, though, Toyota will ride the PHEV wave and stay profitable. The question is, will they use this time to (1) pay down debt and (2) invest in competent homegrown EVs?

    • @michaelnurse9089

      No. Every major manufacturer is a jobs for votes program designed to transfer government money into jobs for loyal voters. Ford, GM, VW, Toyota, Stellantis. All are circling the drain in the face of real competition. i.e. Tesla and China

    I'm not that familiar with VW's problems, but I don't think Toyota will go out of business. They've looking at regional and worldwide markets and still seeing strong demand for ICE vehicles in those areas. How is a developing country supposed to transition to EVs when no money available for the transition? THE USA and Europe both have strong infrastructure to support ICE vehicles and that's not going to change overnight. Toyota's taking a long view and pushing out hybrids right now in the USA since that's what the consumers want, with only one true BEV to keep their hand in the game. They've got the knowledge and tech for BEVs but seem to be waiting to see what else comes along (hydrogen ICE, fuel cells, or ???) and should be able to jump into those pretty quickly if needed. China is under authoritarian rule so they can force their domestic market to go EV, but the consumer-driven markets of the Western world are in flux and still experimenting with transportation options. Toyota might just be the sly fox waiting to pounce when the opportunity comes along. EVs are probably here to stay, they'll have solid market share but won't dominate the vehicle market.

    I might have some sympathy for these companies but given the dishonesty, particularly Volkswagen, I don’t really care. Both of them could, and should, have made the decision years ago to make cleaner more affordable cars.

  • @mydogsbutler

    One problem with every EV and ICE maker outside of China is they can't currently compete with China in battery technology. Another problem is of course price. China became the manufacturing capital of the world on the back of cheap labour. Today though it isextending its lead on the back of automation and innovation.. China got into this position because today it has more engineers and physicists than there are in America, Japan, South Korea, and Europe combined.
    The future looks grim for established car makers in other countries but there is hope. The rise of AI has the potential to one day even the playing field. Smart robots building factory equipment will become common,. AIs to crack physics and material sciences problems will also make up for intellectual labour shortfall. US still has a processing power advantage over China which probably means they are going to stay ahead in AI race for at least a few more years..
    Chinese government is aware of this potential Achilles heal though especially since US trade restrictions on semiconductors. , Semiconductor Industry Association estimates China has spent around 140B in developing their semiconductor industry these last few years. And they are currently building more fabs than the US despite American government subsidies with CHiPs act. Cutting edge chip fabs are the most technological advanced factories in the world. It takes years and billions of dollars to create them. Only a handful of companies can do it. Even Intel has struggled to build one that can compete with Taiwanese based TSMC. Neither AMD or Nvida have fabs. Whomever has the most advanced fabs, will have the best chips. At the heart of any cutting edge fab is its lithography machines. At the moment there is only one game in town, Dutch based ASML. So Chinese government is no doubt also focused on building a homegrown competitor to ASML

    I think the best move for Toyota would be if the shareholders challenge Akiro Toyoda in court and proclaim him insane. I think he is the epitomy of x-generation spoiled brat of the founders. Lived too much in luxury, experienced little difficulties in childhood, which caused his irrational behavior today. They are indeed toast.
    Toyoda must be like Hitler when he dreamed of the new weapons that should save his regime from defeat. Keep dreaming.
    VW has no such issue, but they're killing themselves by the family feud of Porsche family (Piëch family is Porsche daughter), at first Porsche fam wanted to swallow VW, they lost big time, instead VW Piëch branch of their family swallowed Porsche. But at the end of it both companies are financially exhausted, a black hole with no substance, and their astronomical debt isn't possible to ever repay. On top pf it, their bureaucracy, time for changes is planned more than five years before it happens, which can never compare to Tesla or BYD. At the same time, I suspect that BYD is also trying to gobble up too much too fast, so who knows who is the winner in few years time?

      Toyota, now runned by the 3rd generation in the family, is holding on, due to pride, & the tot of invincibility because they held the title of no 1 for 2+ decades.
