600,000 cars sold, say 50,000 per vehicle, all remitted to overseas manufacturers. Bloody well done. 30 billion dollars thrown away and not a single manufacturing job in sight. Just more ming molls and spiv salesmen. I love Australian leadership.
@@trevornewman1462 Plenty of servicing and repair jobs though. Australian car manufacturers couldn't compete thanks to the overheads and unions. Plus we haven't had a true Australian manufacturer for decades. Once the government handouts ceased, they left pretty quickly.
@@grantleyhughesevery other country is subsidized for Thier manufacturing, and they have unions too.
@@grantleyhughesEven China subsidies its manufacturing, just look at its ev cars flooding the market, but whatever, screw your own people, it’s the Australian way
Buy the cheapest vehicle you can from a friendly regime, and spend the rest buying land.
As an Australian manufacturer I mourn the loss of the Australian car industry.
Although it was foreign owned.
Both major parties need to prioritise incentives for local manufacturers.
I see the current government is making noise in that direction.
Let’s see how that goes.

Queensland health have replaced their fleet of 30 ICE vehicles with 30 EV's. They employ someone to rotate the vehicles to be charged on the one charger they have. No one wants to use these cars so they use their own ICE cars and claim the milage. So the EV's sit in the car park being rotated back and forth to be charged. Is this progress?.
Pretty clearly not...

16:05 According to "Drive", Polestar sales were 950 for the first 6 months, which would put them at -17.2%. The big question seems to be - will Geely keep funding Polestar?
17:17 The Mazda sales drop is almost entirely due to dropping the CX-9, and replacing it with the much more expensive and slower selling CX-90. "Premium" strategy..... means lower volumes. They also sold fewer BT-50's - people are buying the real thing (the Isuzu) instead, now that supply issues have eased
17:28 Mitsubishi's growth is due to the ASX and Eclipse Cross. Both are up ~40%. The Triton is only up ~4%.

I think EV'S will be like the BETAMAX video recorder, was very popular in the beginning but lost out to VHS. Love your work John
I feel that same way about gas cars🤣 who the hell never thought we’d upgrade from oil
Great point I like it 👍
@@DreDresChapters VHS wasn't an upgrade over Betamax though and was actually inferior to it. Same as an EV is inferior in many ways to an ICE car. If you're satisfied with your downgrade enjoy.
Outstanding, John. Delivering on the goods week after week after week.
Thank you!
Unless an EV can do what my diesel Ute can do. (800-1000km’s on a tank while loaded, fill the tank everywhere, fill the tank in under 5mins) they will never be an option.

I guess you haven't got it yet? All new cars sold in Europe are required to be equipped with speed limiters from this week - and UK models are likely to have them installed too.
As of Sunday 7 July 2024, new vehicles will need to have Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems fitted as standard as part of an EU safety regulation mandate. If the car is travelling over the limit, the system can ultimately reduce the engine power until the legal speed is met. Cars built from 2022 will also have their software updated on a service visit to also comply with the rules.
They wish they could control our breathing. That is concerning news.
Love that when overtaking a car and suddenly running out of room as you are running out of power.
I am sure that very soon there will be garages all over Europe that can disable that for 100€.
@@adamrichards2072 Yes! That is more dangerous than driving 20-30kmh over the speed limit.

Hi John, how about a closer look at used Tesla and other EVs resale values. That would be interesting.
The issue is the information is very time sensitive
Mary Ann, always was always will be.
Thanks for your comedic and insightful reporting:
Steve
Can't find a house, but vehicle sales are up: People are living in their cars.
More likely the people with multiple houses are buying multiple cars so their garages doesn't look so empty
People are only living in cars that LAST, not in ones that self combust while you are asleep 😉
The early EV adopter (aka Fanbois) era is over. Now the other 92% of the car driving public need to be convinced they are a good idea. Good luck.
And yet Tesla shares spiked as much as 10% on Tuesday after second-quarter deliveries beat estimates. They delivered 444,000 units during the period, exceeding estimates of 438,000. The market is crazy right now, more so than normal.
Sales internally maybe?

I always had a thing for Mary-Ann, when I was much, much younger.

I don't know how it is in Aus, but in the US, the government needs to change it's "CAFE" rules for manufacturer fleet "gas milage" so that it no longer favours tanks and SUVs. People want to be safe, but they also want to keep their money, so paying less for the vehicle and less to run it, aka, more smaller vehicles that are not drowning in a sea of 4 ton SUVs.
Cherry climbed 166%, on how many sales?
Very interesting to see how used EV trade-in’s go for value, and is their any stats showing do owners trade a EV to purchase another EV or go back to a internal combustion vehicle 🚗 🇦🇺
EV owners are looking to trade in on new EV’s.
However depreciation is killing them. Many EV (Tesla) owners are far too upside down in their finance to make updating viable. The samples I have seen have been on 2-3 year old Tesla’s.
EV values sink like a sub full of millionaires.
Love to see ev stats on Gov vs private purchases.
Well done on the ABC news radio segment John. It was very entertaining listening to you suppress the urge to blurt out references to trouser teepees and Electic Jesus (PBUH).

Hi John, I would like your comment/insight into the disappearance of the (~$20k) entry level models from most manufacturers. I am talking about the cheap first new car in the inventory of most brands.
Lot have gone due to ancap safety requirements with technology , cheaper models don't qualify as don't have the tech
I will stay with my 94 Hilux as when her haed quit at 490K she still had the factory marks on her internals so I replace the head with new rings and she does what I need her to do.
I’ll keep my 98 Corolla too.
Good for you. You're a minority .
It would be interesting to know what amount of the EV sales are government/ state/ federal/ local councils.

Vehicle sales in the atates have stalled because they are so damn expensive. You can see brand new 3yo cars on the lots
Considering Tesla was only founded in 2003 and the model Y in 2019 its pretty impressive they now sit in the top 10 for Australian market for a battery only car. I think in the near future you'll only see battery and hybrid cars.
The 15 million ICE cars on the road today, and the 1.15 million ICE cars being sold this year say: Unlikely
Anyone thinking of buying a used BEV say 6 -13 years old, don't just don't.
I just watched a video about a Tesla that had a battery/fuse error code (they didn't state the code) however. They removed the battery pack and found the fuse cover with critical rust and condensation inside the compartment that was open to the internals of the cell packs. The battery pack had an additional battery pack module to the main unit They open that and it too had condensation and corrosion on some of the cell packs and terminal straps. Their solution was to blow heated air through the pack to dry it out and reseal it. Problem is they didn't/couldn't open the main battery pack so they don't know if all moisture was gone and what the state of the cell casings were. The cooling pipes that they could see in the battery also had signs of corrosion. This could easily be the used EV that ends up on the car lot.
The problem is if all the moisture was not removed and the pack hermetically sealed then the cells will continue to corrode and the battery fail and what type of failure. A lights out or a Space Shuttle Columbia level of failure.
By the time a BEV is that old the chances of getting a fresh and brand new battery pack are going to be rare and expensive and who knows what corners will be cut in the after market versions.
EV sales totally collapsed in NZ after the clean car discount was removed, as it should have
@@michaelwebber4033 Yep. Taxpayers shouldn't be funding expensive EVs for people who can afford them already.
I have a 1951 chev stepside truck with a small block in it, I’m happy.
The Koreans, especially Kia, seem to have significantly longer wait times than many other brands. I wonder what this would have done to the sales rankings if they could have delivered more of their models on time.
Sucker born every minute.
Today, a couple of Toyota SUVs removed themselves from the fleet near my place. A RAV4 T boned a Landcruiser. Both looked to be write offs. Thanks to the bags, fortunately no one seriously injured.
I'd be wary of the novated lease option combined with the dramatic depreciation values.
At the end of the agreed term, you'll have the residual balloon payment (set now) compared to whatever the resale value of your EV is going to be in X years.
Depends if your going to keep it and drive it into the ground or sell and lease again.

Some fascinating facts on sales there
How our buying of cars have changed
I think Elons mistake was taking the cigarette lighter out- and turning the car into one.
LOLS. Not sure I like this show but always make it to the end. Damn.
I see Rolls Royce sales were up by a decent 20%
Stats........
Lambo and Lotus, too...
So sales went up from 5 to 6.
Wasnt this bit of a case of, especially for toyota, deliveries being seen as sales. Where the vehicle was actually purchased a year ago, but only now being delivered?
well done again. great summing up of the market.
All my cars are from 1998 to 2006. I love this era, when Mercedes were bulletproof and small cars were light enough to be fun around a racetrack without all the elctronics to keep them from crashing. But they had airbags and crush zones so are safe enough, but without all that lane assist blind spot bullshit. And depreciation hit the bottom so all of them are heading up in value. I just don't see the joy in new cars. Even the Ml320 I bought before the floods to brave the hideous dirt roads we had to use has kind of won me over, and in SA can be put on historic rego for $80 a year. Insurance is cheaper, even for my fully tricked out W221. And AMG still had the na 6.2 thaat sounds so good.
You’re right there.
I just got a w211 e55 and I’m very much enjoying it.
Everything has a button to activate it and there’s no electronic interference, keeping me in my lane or telling me I’m going too fast and it’s reliable as well.
@@mynameisnobody211 A beautiful car. I had a W210 E55 for ages. The sound was so good I upped it to a W212 E63 6.2. They're both amazing cars to drive and like a sledgehammer. There are faster cars out there, but the V8 AMGs are just something special. Have a W221 too for touring. Won't be selling either car.
One other comment I read sums it up. The biggest winner finance companies. Back in the day before HP and leasing people had to save and buy things. But those things were way cheaper in relation to earnings. If you made them too dear few could ever buy. Now think of a number, double it, and wack it on HP. Spend a large part of your life paying extortionate interest. Somehow I never got into that.

Interesting in EVs as in NZ they are down about 80% YTD corresponding with the end of incentives and the subsequent introduction of road user charges. Last year in Australia light, the Tesla Model Y was the third best selling model outright. This year it isn’t in the top 15
The Tesla Model 3 line-up currently starts at $54,900 for the Model 3...... 2023 Toyota Corolla average price is $22,110
The NSW Government says applications can be lodged until 30 June 2024. The rebate is $3,000 for battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Is it just me and my ignorance or is the maths here not mathing with whats being suggested about a Tesla and Corolla being "about the the same price" when taking into account the rebate??

I can't help but wonder why some of the brands bother. They sell so few there can hardly be any profit in them but more importantly why do people bother with some of the more obscure brands when there is no dealer network and even in places where a dealer can be found there is no incentive for them to keep parts as they sell so few of the brand and any model. I expect to see a winnowing of the market over the next few years as NVES and falling sales for some brands make it inevitable that they will leave the market leaving those who have bought their cars with vehicles that are worth nothing.

@@benchapman5247 I had never heard of that brand until a few days ago but I can see why you might say that. It is not a brand for the mainstream family buyer who seem to prefer about 5 brands being Toyota, Ford, Kia, Hyundai and Mazda where as Skoda, Proton, Cupra and others that have sold poorly and whose sales are declining continue to offer cars here in the forlorn hope that sales might one day surge. There are a host of Chinese brands intending to offer cars here for sale and once they get the sales and the after sales right it will be all over for many of those brands I've mentioned and others that are or soon will be struggling.
Some buyers such as buyers of French cars are only thinking as far as how arty they will look to their friends and never get around to thinking about the potential problems you have mentioned as possible shortcomings. Who needs spare parts when you can leave it up to the guy that will be worrying about fixing it - whoever that might be - they don’t worry about that either 😂
Got a pet cow named Ellie May, and she had a daughter named Mary May. Just saying.
So ev sales went up by 16% and overall sales by 8%. So ev is going up. Can’t get around that fact.

Tesla Model Y sales seems to be as dead in Australia as in EU. At least in Finland the drop is similarly tad below 50% YoY in H1. And in May Model Y sales dragged behind similarly in the continent wide statistics.

The reality is that Tesla is a major EV auto maker, but will not be the biggest ever. They got lost with the CT distraction. They need to get that model 2 out or the Chinese will fill that bottom end of the market.
Cheerleaders thought EV will take over in 20s. The reality is that ICE vehicles are here for decades to come.
Convince me that India, Uganda, Bolivia will have EVs in this decade as the majority of their cars. This reflects the world.
It is a transition away from ICEs. But it is many decades to go and EVs may not be the only tech in play.
The answer to your question at the end is "99".
Ah yes, Barbara Feldon; still with us, at the age of 91.

Not sure how many EV’s Polestar sells but this is likely part of, if not the reason for the 0.8% reduction in EV sales. Just something to consider anyway.
Seems counter productive not to list your sales when you’re trying to show a growing market share.
Tesla needs to woo the younger Hominids with factory installed Wi-Fi Hi-Fi exhaust systems, that cackle crackle backfire and explode loudly, as they mime those close ratio,double declutch downshifts, along their daily work commute.

A little light on analysis in parts here, John. Toyota's ostensibly impressive growth is largely reversion to the mean following a supply-constrained first half of 2023. Toyota's H1'24 sales in Australia are near identical to H1'22 sales: 121301 against 121377. Meanwhile, Chery's apparent stratospheric growth owes in part to the brand only having arrived in Australia in April 2023, such that the YoY figure of ~166% growth is comparing six months of sales (Jan-Jun '24) against three (April-Jun '23). The brand's "real" growth YoY, i.e. comparing Q2 with Q2, is ~48%.
If only Toyota could deliver the vehicles. Wait for many model variations is still over a year.

Why would Tesla sales be increasing? All the models look essentially the same, and since the Model S has been around for about 12 yrs, you'd think at least one of their designers could come up with something a bit different. Won't be long before Tesla is a Chinese company, like Polestar.
