Opinion Kilcrohane's view of the Automotive Industry and Global Economy. Part Deux.
- Thread starter BMW4ever
- Start date
'Expert', PhD etc, states the blindingly obvious:
'This drive to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) leaves Jaguar Land Rover heavily exposed, having previously bet big on diesel, even with a recent push for electrification which has over relied on the 48v mild hybrid (MHEV) technology, and with only one BEV in their stable right now – the Jaguar I-Pace.'

- wow, who knew - 3/4 years ago - when Tata was hawking JLR around to anyone to buy it?
' this huge downturn cannot be simply explained away as a consequence of either Covid or the microprocessor chip shortage and other supply chain problems.'
- oh yes it can - see Mike Hawes, boss of SMMT, just yesterday:
'Supply shortages shackle new car market performance'
'The semiconductor shortage is stifling the new car market even more than last year’s lockdown.'
- someone's lying. Maybe the new Chancellor of the Exchequer can tell us, or Baghdad Bob(Comical Ali), or the Bard of Baghdad(Stratford-upon-Avon seat), as he is known.

Is JLR at a tipping point in the seismic shift to electric power?
The future could be very bright for Britain’s biggest car maker but it faces a few challenges along the way

'Atta boy, Spaffer. He's going nowhere. He'll drag them all down - the 'Elite', the Establishment
He knows the timetable, for WWIII, is 'NATO' to attack Russia late summer/early autumn. Once that starts, he's going nowhere - plus, likely a declared state of emergency over gas supplies and electricity generation, so 'wartime leader', and 'emergency leader'.
They either literally pull him out now - and we know what Spaffer calls and thinks of at least half the Tory party, and probably most of the Media/Westminster bubble - 'tank top wearers' - so knows they haven't got the balls to do the required - direct, possibly physical confrontation - Spaffer's probably got a good right hook, like his pater - smashing Spaffer's mater's nose - or he's there for good.
Don't forget, Spaffer knows totally what he's up against. Exhibit A - 'Call Me Dave' Cameron. Spaffer is infamous for shagging Samantha, 'behind Dave's back' - Cameron is at most 'bisexual', i.e. homosexual, with Sam his beard. Spaffer obviously knew that. Spaffer did Sam not for the pleasure, or her beauty, but to belittle Cameron - his rival, from the days of the Bullingdon club, and Eton before that - Cameron a couple of years younger.
A man, a real man, who found out some git had shagged his wife, would divorce the slut, and smash the git. 'Call Me Dave' did neither - as he couldn't care, as Sam-Cam, his beard, meant nothing, and nice posh men don't go around biffing other posh men - but they do - Clarkson smashed Piers Morgan in the face, both public school of course.
Spaffer knows most British elite toffs are gay. He's one of them, of the elite, Etonian etc, but he's not. He was born in the US, his father Turk descent, his mother German. He's no more British than I am. He sneers at the British establishment, as he knows the vast majority of them are effete, fey cowards, non-men. Michael Gove, the perfect current example - his (now ex-) beard Sarah Vine - everyone in those circles knows Gove is gay, and Vine his beard.
Not excusing him, just trying to explain where his brazenness in sticking two fingers to 'all established British ways of doing things' comes from - he's a classic outsider - an insider, 'one of them', but he's not.

if one one of the papers in UK don't have a headline like "BoJo a Go-Go," then what has this ride been all about? Talk about a wasted opportunity!
'B(l)o(w)Jo(b) blows the joint.
Damn terrorists! Driving tractors, planting things, growing food, using fertilizer - or maybe Putin's sent over Spetsnaz in Massey Fergusons and John Deeres, invading Holland:

- note, it's always the bald - 'roided'(on steroids) - meathead coppers(and usually female butch lesbian sidekicks, acting so brave), in whatever country, that the regimes use to do the skull-cracking, thug work - thick as sh!t, hopped up on some drugs, and do anything for a shekel.
Why are the Dutch Plod so jumpy, cowardly?:
Is the female? cop on the right wearing a hat, a beanie, er, and carrying a rifle/sub-machine gun - how brave?
I thought the whole point of CAGW, 'Global Warming', and WEF puppet Rutte's crackdown on the deadly, planet-destroying nitrogen, was due to runaway global heating up. It's mid-summer. WTF. Or is this actually about de facto martial law in Holland, as part of the WEF's Great Reset - 'You will own nothing and be Happy'?
Pray do tell.
Global warming doesn't exist because someone's wearing a beanie in July?
I'm not saying that only a complete moron would make that link, but I can see why other people might.

Nitrogen is killing all natural life here in this country and it's 4 times as much as other western EU countries including the U.K. Something has to be done, and it really is not necessary for the Dutch to feed the entire world. They really don't need frozen chickens from Holland on the market in Nigeria. We slaughter almost 18 MILLION animals EVERY DAY here in The Netherlands, let that sink in a bit.
And Rutte is a complete and utter failure in every aspect, agreed there. The problems of this country are mounting up quickly.
lol
'the nutter'/tinfoil hat wearer seems on the money again - the stroke guy - almost certainly with access to some inside info - 'suggests' Spaffer may find a reason to keep his piggy trotters firmly in No.10 - or in the bunker/bunkers, 100 ft+ below Whitehall - the Ukraine thing 'suddenly' flares up again, later this summer(NATO's full attack on Russia/Belarus) - and Spaffer is Churchill II - Our Glorious Wartime Leader - told ya - @4:14 - 'They' all know what the script is, timetable of WWIII is:
so about the same as the number of splatted insects of the big front of a Range Rover on a summer's day.
You do know people have to eat? Chickens, lambs, pigs, cows, fish... ?
Or do you follow the WEF/CAGW psychos, that we useless eaters should only eat bugs, and have no kids? - while they feast on foie gras?
FFS, you must be very young, or very, very naive.

You are completely and thoroughly in the dark about the subject, yet spin it neatly into your conspiracy ramblings with random tweets from God knows which asshole they came... Funny.
Is this why we need the Spaffer-Ukraine circus - to cover for the final, total collapse of 'stunningly successful', 'world-beating' JLR:

Even if the '62,000 Full-fat orders' was true, so what. It's been out, on-sale, for pre-ordering, for around 2 years. In its heyday, the genuinely big-selling L405 did about that or a bit more in ONE YEAR, in the period 2013 to around 2017.
Genuinely in massive demand, 'hot cars', are sold out for several years, not the equivalent of around one year of production.
I don't believe it anyway. I've yet to see one here, in UK, in its heartland, just a few miles from where it's assembled, with just the obvious pre-prods, JLR cars, running around 6 or more months ago.
I still see a couple or several Taycans a day though - similar price, very similar target audience. I see also EQCs, and E-trons, and increasingly iXs, several now.
With no London Con Charge exemption - just EVs - and fuel at £2/litre, or more, for diesel, so approaching £200 to fill up a diesel Full-fat's tank, and gasoline in the US at record levels, with Posh EVs in massive demand, Rivian etc, that order figure is a lie, and even then, insignificant - no one left at JLR who can do maths.
Jaguar Land Rover sales hit by computer chip shortages and China lockdowns
Sales were slightly down for Jaguar Land Rover for the three months to the end of June.

'Compared to the previous quarter, sales were 10 per cent higher in the UK and 49 per cent in Europe but down five per cent in China and 30 per cent in North America.'
Just shows that 'JLR' is now actually Full-fat-RRSport(-Defender). With sales of the Full-fat just properly getting going, and the Sport in the middle of changeover, in the US in the second quarter, Apr-Jun, US was way down, i.e., these 'two' products - essentially the same car - make the bulk of JLR's real sales there, the US, and increasingly also globally,
That means 'JLR' is an ~150-200k units a year max producer now, and heading further down. Quite a fall from Speth's 1 million a year plan, by 2018-'20.
All unreported by the 'global' Media - UK-US. They tell you literally 24/7 about some fat old tosser, and his blowjobs, but not about real jobs, the few left in UK, not made up, in the public sector, on the taxpayer teat, and that they are disappearing, rapidly, and headed for a 'New-JLR', a glorified Bentley-Rolls-Royce-Aston, a niche maker, employing tops 10,000, and so another hammer blow to what's left of UK's real economy.

Farmers Across Europe Protest in Solidarity with Dutch Farmers as Green Agenda Takes Away The Farms
If you haven't figured out yet that government policies designed to transition to the New Green World Order is an assault on humanity with its goal of reducing the world's population all in the name of "saving the planet," then it is time to wake up, because this is WAR! Farmer protests are...

^ not a word on the BBC, Sky 'News', etc. Literally feed the plebs sh!t - insects - and keep them in the dark.
Spaffer and Fragrant Carrie - his street-walking blowjob provider - will not be feasting on flies, maggots and other lovely delicacies at Chequers next week - all paid for by the insect-eating, about to be starving, freezing to death plebs.
Woken the F up, yet? The Dutch, Germans etc get it - even 50% of the Yanks - so why not the Brits? What's wrong with the Brits?
Go to 2:25 on the video above, and tell me those Dutch are 'tinfoil hat wearing nutjobs' They're more men, and women, than most here will ever be - they're brave, and FIGHT - for justice, truth, and decency - for the right to just live life, and be left alone - not having weirdo psycho perverts, who think they're God, and tell them what to do every minute of their lives, and that they should off themselves, and their children, to Save the Planet.

Contemplating renaming the thread this... seems to be a much better fit.
City rocked by 17hrs of gun violence with one dead and two in hospital
Police are working at several scenes in the city after a chaotic day
- while the Media gets everyone to focus on 'Boris', and the #CostofLivingCrisis, UK is descending into total lawlessness, courtesy, deliberately, of the stand-down Plod - only standing up for the protection of the 'Elite'.
They are AWOL, as I've said. They'll still turn out, instantly, for 'Hate Speech', LGBT, etc, and the occasional 'Terrorist' attack/plot - staged by themselves and the 'security state' - but they are deliberately standing back, sitting on their fat ar$es.
The plan is to make life for the ordinary pleb living hell - worse than usual. Then they, the plebs, will demand something be done - under a new Govt/leader - which will be de facto martial law.
The drug dealers, driving their huge exhaust, way over legal noise limit cars, at up to 100 mph through UK towns and cities, night and day, and the off road scrambler bikes and quad bikes of delinquents, know that Plod won't touch them, because most are 'ethnic', and that the policy is to create chaos, until the boot comes down - 1984.
Plod, don't you just love 'em. Always up for an 'elite' plan to stuff the citizenry, and of course money for doing f.a., and lots of overtime surveilling 'terrorists' - low/cretinish IQ dupes/patsies.
What would we do without them. I dread to think.
