The Future of Automotive And The Chinese
What is the future of automotive?
To answer this, we can look at history. While it doesnt repeat, it certainly rhymes.
In this video I discuss how we are likely looking at the Chinese on long term basis. In the near term, with the election in the US, it is likely that nothing happens until after that is done. Then it is likely the winner will embrace the Chinese as they start to expand. AFter all it does create jobs.

I agree with what you've said. At the end of the day, money talks. If the Chinese are putting factories in the US, it will bring money, and jobs which are good for the economy. Other automotive companies might not like it, but competition is always good for consumers.
If ICE sales starts to decline even further, the money will not be coming from trad auto. That means politicians are going to be looking for something else.
Summary:
In this video, Taskmaster discusses the automotive industry in China and draws parallels between the rise of Chinese automakers and the historical success of Japanese automakers in the US market. He highlights the potential impact of Chinese automakers like BYD entering Europe and potentially North America. Taskmaster predicts a decline for legacy auto companies who are not keeping up with technological advancements in software, electric vehicles, and direct-to-consumer sales.
Detailed Analysis:
Taskmaster begins by reflecting on the cyclical nature of history and the automotive industry, drawing comparisons between the rise of Japanese automakers in the 1970s and the current potential of Chinese automakers like BYD. He emphasizes that the US market is transitioning, and companies like BYD are making strategic moves into new territories.
He predicts that in the long term, Chinese automakers will succeed in the US market, despite current political scrutiny due to the election year. Taskmaster suggests that both Biden and Trump may change their stance towards China post-election to benefit from Chinese manufacturers' entry into the US, driven by the need for job creation and the shortcomings of legacy auto companies.
Taskmaster criticizes legacy auto companies for lagging in crucial areas like software development, electric vehicles, and direct-to-consumer sales. He questions the absence of public discourse on these topics from executives like Jim Farley and Mary Breyer, implying that they may be discussing these issues behind closed doors. Taskmaster emphasizes that electric vehicles are just one aspect of the industry transition, urging companies to consider the broader shifts towards software and direct-to-consumer models.
Regarding Chinese automakers' potential strategies for entering the US market, Taskmaster suggests they may leverage Tesla's success by following a similar path of setting up showrooms where Tesla operates. By piggybacking off Tesla's groundwork, he believes Chinese automakers like BYD can disrupt legacy auto companies and gain a foothold in the US market.
In conclusion, Taskmaster encourages viewers to stay tuned for future developments in the automotive industry, particularly the impact of Chinese automakers on legacy auto companies.
