I have come to realisation that Autoshows are a way to punish the Journo’s after a year of having to be nice to them. Crushingly hard work covering acres of new launches 😂

Right - my review has dropped of the icar V23 - I am a huge fan of this SUV even though it’s a bit disappointing to drive…

The CHERY ICAR V23 is NOT BORING

This is what happens when the public has 1500hp under their right foot. Irresponsible.

I wonder what’s happening at Sydney Showground this weekend?

This is what happens when you sell a car with 1500hp to go on the public roads with no training. Only a scrape but I fear much worse coming. The new Xiaomi SU7 Ultra

Only a week to go to our amazing event in Sydney. The widest range of electric cars we’ve ever had at a show available for test drives, plus huge range of energy and money saving home tech and amazing talks and panel discussions.

Yoooo, I heard you like INTERESTING looking EVs. I’ve got one for you today that costs $14,000 and looks like this… (video coming soon)

I made a video about the Price Wars in China and how this will impact EU brands the most…
“In the long term we are heading to a point where, 2-5 manufactures dominate the market”

Spot on @elliotrhys.com! This is the great contraction I keep talking about.

The legacy auto death spiral continues (even though BMW may be better placed than their rivals)
Taylor Ogan:
"Sign of the times in China

BMW's first 5S store in the world, Beijing Xingdebao, was sold to BYD, where it will be a Fangchengbao & Denza showroom. The fifth 'S' stands for sustainability.

22,000m² (3 football fields)
BMW spent $44M to build it in 2012
BYD bought it for $1.3M"

Holy smokes. Legacy auto has lost 1/3 of its market share in China in 4 YEARS. Death spiral incoming
in China, foreign automakers have LOST one-third of the Chinese car market since 2020

"Chinese brands recorded their highest ever share of passenger vehicle sales in January, achieving a new monthly record of 68.4%."

I think BMW may be one of the best placed of the German legacy manufacturers to compete with Chinese EVs if they get the Neue Klasse right. Already buzz in China around these. Just need to drop their hydrogen ambitions.

This is going out on YouTube later - a sneak peak at how BYDs Gods Eye system actually works on the road in real life…

Check it out - this is the car that other automakers are afraid of. And they should be…
Introducing the XPENG Mona M03.
According to the ever brilliant @elliotev.bsky.social it’s like having all the amazing features of the Tesla Model 3, but at half the price.
Well, that might prove rather popular methinks.

Are YOU bored of the Zeekr MIX? Want it to be the cutest car ever? Well thanks to the tuning chaps at iAcro, they did this…
February 11, 2025 at 11:52 AM
I went to BYDs ‘tech day’ last night and here they are casually displaying 29 of their cars…a vast difference to 4 years ago for the factory visit.

I don’t think the IM (MG/SAIC) L6 is selling very well in China. I know a dealer who often unloads cars which are not selling well - he had a lot of Polestar 2s for about $16k. Now he has these L6s for about $21k USD. Base model but brand new. Brutal year ahead for these brands.

Whatever your attitude is to China, there is now no denying they are way, way ahead in renewable energy, battery technology and specifically electric vehicles.
Our man Elliot Richards spent some time inside the ultra spacious Zeekr Mix.

This is a super rare spot in China! A KIA EV5 - they are having a big push this year so will be interesting to see how they stack up against the competition.
