The failure of Japanese car manufacturers to quickly adapt to the electric vehicle market could potentially devastate their industry.

“and because they do export a lot of their cars i think it's it's just gonna it's it's got the potential to decimate that industry for them if they fall behind yeah too far it's a it's a real big worry i think”

Japanese car manufacturers seem to be ignoring the shift toward electric vehicles despite their historical leadership in technology.

“it's very strange they seem to have their their hands over their eyes and their fingers in their ears”

The decision by many car manufacturers to walk back their electrification commitments is disappointing.

“And you know, obviously and and and Jaguar and Rover are not unique in this. Like many many many other car companies have done the same. They've kind of walked back from that commitment. And so it's got to the point now where we're like, come on. Like we really want to see the electric Jag.”

He suggests the Defender Series 2 is a car that could remain on the road for a hundred years through maintenance.

“I think it would be the um Defender Series 2 from 1959. And I think that car with lots of love and care, and I say the series 2 because it just had a slightly bigger engine. It was a little bit more sorted. I think we'll see Defender 2s in 2069.”

Car manufacturers are increasingly producing less reliable vehicles that prioritize efficiency and short-term performance metrics over long-term durability.

“I would say less reliable. And it's it's it's all down to just the highrung four-cylinder engines that they're putting in cars to get the most efficiency and more power. and they just don't care about the longevity of it.”

Car manufacturers should make battery-electric vehicles that are as durable and reliable as their existing combustion engine models.

“believe E in a pure evie Toyota's that are just as proven and just as capable of being punished as the Priuses I think that's what yeah yeah now they do build rock they build rock-solid cars definitely done them in there there's no doubt”

Driving such a high-torque vehicle at high speeds is unnecessarily dangerous and not needed.

“See, that's not safe having that kind of torque on like no need for that. No, no need. No one needs to go that fast at any point.”

Operating the provided vehicle is a death trap experience.

“I would have liked I'd have done my time in a not the death trap.”
