What is the best SUV?
Lamborghini Urus 2021 Lamborghini Urus Review, Pricing, and Specs (caranddriver.com) Why? 190 MPH top speed, 0–60 in 3.1 seconds, twin turbo V8 that produces 641 HP
Is the Tesla Roadster the fastest car in the world?
The New Tesla Roadster Will Be the Quickest Road Car Ever Elon Musk says his new Roadster will hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, run the quarter-mile in 8.9, and have a top speed of more than 250 mph. Okay then, says the world. Giving humanity an electric semi-truck sure is exciting, but not nearly as exciting as announcing the world's quickest road car. Elon Musk knows this well, so while launching Tesla's long-awaited Semi, he also decided to show off the brand new Roadster. And while there may be a few question marks hanging above Tesla's production lines at the moment, the sports car's numbers are truly staggering. No wonder, Musk wants the Roadster to serve as the final nail in the coffin for internal combustion vehicles. By watching this video anyone can get a superb view of this amazing tesla roadster. Make no mistake, this will be a $200,000+ vehicle. For that, customers are promised to get a 2+2 with extremely small rear seats, as well as a 200 kWh battery pack granting it a whopping 620-mile range. Of course, that range will drop significantly once you put Musk's claimed performance figures to the test, which include a 0-60 mph sprint in 1.9 seconds, a 100 mph photo opportunity after 4.2 seconds, and a quarter-mile time of 8.9 seconds. Tesla's sports car is also supposed to hit a top speed of "over 250 miles per hour," propelled by almost 7400 lb-ft of torque. To keep it under control at those speeds, the Roadster will have an active rear wing, as well as an aggressive diffuser made of carbon fiber. The show car also features LED lights, a transparent removable roof panel, and a futuristic steering wheel straight out of ,Knight Rider 2021,. If you strongly believe that Tesla can sort out its production issues by then, get ready for a base price starting at $200,000, with a $50,000 reservation required. Of course, you can go even further, as Tesla will offer a "Roadster Founders Series," which will be a $250,000 affair. Needless to say, Tesla is not the only one trying to spearhead the electric sports car moment. McLaren is certainly cooking up something rapid, the entire VW Group is hard at work through Porsche and Lamborghini, not to mention Jaguar and Aston Martin with the backing of Williams Advanced Engineering. Meanwhile, companies like Rimac push the envelope even further, selling their tech to whoever is interested around the globe. Such a rate of progress was never seen before, which means Tesla will have a much harder time wowing us in the next decade. But we sure like to see them trying. Tesla gave rides in the Roadster to select VIPs at the unveiling event, including Brooks from DragTimes, who shot a video that includes launch and acceleration demos. If you watch closely, you'll see the center screen displays a "plaid" warp speed animation, first hinted at during the Model S's Ludicrous mode announcement. This content is imported from YouTube.

What are cars worth waiting for?
Future Cars Worth Waiting For 2021-2025 Our sneak peeks of the most promising cars, trucks, and SUVs of the next few years. Even in the age of next-day delivery, self-checkout, and gigabit internet, some things can't be rushed. The cars, trucks, and SUVs seen here won't reach dealer lots for anywhere from a few months to a few years. Some of them are about to roll down the assembly line. Others haven't emerged from the design studio yet. We're telling you about them now, though, because these are the vehicles that will matter, regardless of how many boring crossovers automakers puke out. These are worth the wait. This video will give us information about future cars. 2021 Alfa Romeo GTV It's difficult not to love Alfa Romeo's Giulia Quadrifoglio. In spite of the sports sedan's tragic reliability record, it's still an absolute joy to drive and looks incredible. Who wouldn't want that in even sexier form, like, say, a two-door coupe? Good news! One is on its way, and it will resurrect the iconic GTV name and add electrification to the Quadrifoglio's 505-hp twin-turbo V-6. Expect up to 600 horsepower. 2021 Alfa Romeo Tonale The upcoming Alfa Romeo Tonale promises to be a rare beauty in a sea of luxury-subcompact crossovers. Plus it's Alfa Romeo's first hybrid model. Previewed by a concept model at last year's Geneva auto show, the production version should arrive later this year, starting around $35,000. 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish Aston Martin's next Vanquish will be a mid-engine supercar targeting the defining dream machines of the moment—cars such as the Ferrari F8 Tributo, Lamborghini's Huracán replacement, and the McLaren 720S and 765LT. Previewed by a concept car at the 2019 Geneva auto show (pictured), the Vanquish should start just north of $300,000 when it arrives in 2023. 2021 Audi e-Tron GT Audi's electric e-Tron lineup grows for 2021, with the shapely e-Tron GT joining today's e-Tron (no name, just e-Tron) crossover. There's no dancing around it: the GT is aimed squarely at Tesla's Model S. Audi is hoping it will deliver more than 250 miles of driving range and nearly 600 horsepower from a pair of electric motors (one per axle). Underneath its ,Blade Runner ,exterior hides, the same J1 architecture developed for fellow Volkswagen Group member Porsche, for its Taycan EV. 021 Audi Q4 e-Tron The Audi Q4 e-Tron is smaller and cheaper than the e-Tron and e-Tron Sportback, and it's aimed at the core of the crossover market. The Q4 e-Tron was initially previewed by a concept car (pictured) shown at the 2019 Geneva auto show. It will be the fourth electric Audi to come stateside but the first to use VW's MEB architecture designed exclusively for electric vehicles. It, too, will offer a slightly sleeker Sportback version. 2024 BMW i8 M BMW is working on a follow-up to the plug-in-hybrid i8 halo car, which in and of itself never really lived up to expectations. Previewed by the 2019 BMW Vision M Next concept car, this yet-to-be-named replacement (we've taken to calling it the i8 M) should place greater emphasis on performance than its predecessor did. It could also set the Bimmer world on fire with its retro M1-inspired style—it could have rear louvers, people! 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 The upcoming Chevy Corvette Z06 will be the first of several upcoming ultra-high-performance variants of the C8 Corvette. We expect it to go on sale in early 2021 as a 2022 model, starting at about $85,000. It will use a naturally aspirated DOHC 32-valve 5.5-liter V-8. Plus, it has a flat-plane crank, just like a Ferrari V-8. It should rev to between 8500 and 9000 rpm, spit out 600-plus horsepower, and shriek like something from Ferrari. 2022 Ferrari Purosangue SUV Ferrari is finally taking the leap and building an SUV. For a brand that built its reputation on racing (cars, that is), this new project is quite the departure. For now, the creation is being referred to by the Purosangue name, which is Italian for "thoroughbred," and will go up against the likes of the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, and Rolls-Royce Cullinan—if not in pure performance, at least in price. 2022 Ford Fusion Active Selling a station wagon in an American car market infatuated with SUVs is a risky play for a manufacturer. But once Ford kills off the Fusion sedan later this year or early next year, a lifted version of that stigmatized-yet-highly-practical type of vehicle will soon be as close as shoppers will come to finding a new family car in a Blue Oval showroom. Enter the Ford Fusion Active, which we've seen in spy photos and leaked images so far. 2022 Ford Maverick In a move that's sure to shake up the truck establishment, Ford is planning a third pickup model that will be smaller than the mid-size Ranger. Built on the same unibody platform as the Escape and Bronco Sport crossovers, the Maverick could be a true compact truck the likes of which we haven't seen in some time. It's slated to arrive later in 2021 or in early 2022, possibly with a starting price in the low-$20,000 range. 2022 GMC Hummer EV In an amazing twist of fate, General Motors' gas-guzzling middle-finger-flying Hummer brand, discontinued in 2010, is poised to make a comeback for 2022 as an all-electric sub-brand of GMC. The GMC Hummer EV SUT pickup truck offers up to 1000 horsepower and GMC claims it's capable of blasting from zero to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. It's set to go on sale at the end of 2021 in loaded First Edition form, with an SUV version to follow. 2022 Honda Civic Type R Honda confirmed that a new Civic Type R is on the way, and it should have a more mature look as previewed by a prototype of the 11th-generation Civic sedan. The second red-badged Civic to arrive in the U.S. will have a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood—hopefully with a better soundtrack—mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, and Honda didn't rule out a quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission, either. We've heard rumors about a hybrid all-wheel-drive powertrain, but we think it's unlikely—at least at launch, which should be toward the end of 2021. 2023 Hyundai RM20 N Of all the newcomers to the mid-engine segment, no vehicle highlights the current sports-car zeitgeist quite like a mid-engine Hyundai, which could be called the RM20 N. When it arrives in two or three years, expect the Hyundai to bring mid-engine dynamics to a new level of affordability. As we understand it, the decision-makers in South Korea are still weighing whether their car should be a $40,000 Hyundai or a $70,000 Genesis. In our minds, there's no question. It's too soon for Genesis to challenge Corvettes and Porsches, but a proper sports car could validate both N and Hyundai. 2021 Hyundai Santa Cruz The Hyundai Santa Cruz is the automaker's foray into the pickup market. It follows Honda's approach rather than the formula that American manufacturers perfected. The unibody truck will be offered with a single bed length, a four-door crew cab, and a choice of four-cylinder engines. We expect to see Santa Fe's 2.4-liter and turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. 2022 Jaguar XJ Jaguar's full-size XJ sedan is getting old, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the seductive four-door. Time marches on, however, and Jaguar is looking to replace the XJ (however handsome it is now) with an all-new model for 2021. And Jag is going bold: The next XJ will be fully electric, with some 300 miles of driving range and DC fast charging. 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Early in 2021, Jeep will launch an entirely new Grand Cherokee. It likely won't make it into buyers' hands until later in the year, as production has been delayed. What those new owners will get is a Jeep based on a version of the Alfa Romeo Giorgio platform found under the Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV. The Grand Cherokee will be significantly longer than the trim little Stelvio, though. Not only will the Jeep's wheelbase surpass the Alfa's 110.9 inches, we expect it to be longer than the current Grand Cherokee's 114.7 inches. Not only will be roomier than the outgoing model, but it will also offer a three-row version with up to seven seats, as pictured here in spy photos. 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Jeep is bringing back the iconic Wagoneer nameplate for a new full-size SUV offering. Shown so far in concept form, the Wagoneer, and Grand Wagoneer will compete with the likes of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban. They will use a version of the Ram 1500's body-on-frame platform, with the Grand Wagoneer being the more luxurious version costing over $100,000 fully loaded. Three rows of seats will be standard, as will four-wheel drive. We expect V-6 and V-8 engine options along with hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. 2023 Land Rover Defender 80 The upcoming Defender 80 is a new baby Land Rover set to be positioned below the recently revived Defender in the brand hierarchy. If it reaches the U.S. market, it could provide a more affordable entry point to the off-road-oriented Defender range. U.K. media reports have named it the 80—given that Land Rover calls the two- and four-door Defenders the 90 and the 110, respectively—although there is no confirmation of that. 2022 Lexus LQ Lexus is still lacking the modern, high-end SUV that virtually every other luxury vehicle maker has to offer affluent shoppers. The upcoming Lexus LQ, which will serve as a sleek range-topping crossover, should address that shortcoming. Previewed by the LF-1 Limitless concept (pictured), the longitudinal-engine LQ should share key structural elements with the LS sedan. It also should share its powertrains, including the 416-hp twin-turbo V-6 and its 354-hp hybrid powertrain. An F performance model might even pack a twin-turbo V-8 good for 600-plus horsepower. Maserati MC20 The upcoming MC20 is a mid-engine reminder that Maserati exists. Rather than a successor to the ultrarare, hyper-expensive MC12, the MC20 is a run-of-the-mill six-figure Italian sports car offered in both coupe and convertible forms. Maserati promises that the MC20 marks the start of a new phase in the brand's history, which it desperately needs if its vehicles are going to be relevant again. Maserati recently released technical details about the MC20's twin-turbo V-6 engine, which will produce 621 horsepower.
How would I create my own car manufacturing company?
How about let us start with ,race on Sunday and sell on Monday? ,I think that was the strategy of Bruce McLaren, but others as well like Horacio Pagani with his Zonda. And who doesn’t like an underdog story like how Ford GT40 beat Ferrari six times! in the 60s LeMans? But let’s not skip, we go step by step. Good for you I just reported this topic in our class, and since you A2Aed me you just gave me an idea on how to approach my topic, hence I tackled it with the case of automotive industry, and as a return of you giving me an idea to my report, I will share to you how it went through. And I might show you some slides here. Of course this is not a full-on business plan, just some few ideas, but if you like to be business partners we can arrange things. Haha.. This is based on the book of Michael E. Porter, entitled ,Competitive Strategy: ,Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors,, ,(1998). Particularly on the chapter on ,Entry Into New Business. What to expect when building your own car company? ,If the market forces work perfectly, all will be equally gaining and no one will rise above average returns, that is, we don’t want to have equality as that will hinder us to move further to the top, I guess this is why communism did not work when presented to the capitalists. So let’s be capitalists for now. Entry through internal development,, so we will try to confront the two sources of ,entry barriers, by our own development, something that isn’t in the market yet. More like an innovation either on the product itself or the process of doing it. Hence we will implore the aid of some generic strategies which are the ,cost leadership or cost focus, ,or ,differentiation. In ,cost leadership, we will be the leading company to produce our products cheaply compared to others. This is how Toyota makes its position, making their units cheaper. Toyota gained a advantage by tapping into the concept of ,economies of scale, , ,, that is, by increasing production volume while maintaining the same ,overhead cost, , ,, and thereby spreading the cost of production wider over the number of units they produced. Economies of scale is the reason why a huge business can produce cheaper products over a similar product produced by a smaller production company. For example General Motor’s LS engines are cheaper than a comparable V8 engine from other companies. Though one could argue that LS engines are cheaper because it uses an older simpler technology which also uses smaller number of parts, while that is part of the story, LS engines share at last few components to a different generation of engines. And this engine the same engines that GM puts into their vehicles from trucks to sports car, not to mention, the LS engines fit in most of GMs new and old transmissions so swapping them makes it fairly easy. That greatly cut costs in R&D for different engine platforms, cut costs for tooling, casting, or machining to produce differently designed components. While ,differentiation,, is presenting ourselves to be different from the rest, as Coco Chanel once said: In order to be unforgettable, once must always be different. There are many attempts to differentiate in the automotive industry, but the market is usually in the supercar, high performance area, that only a small insignificant share of the entire automotive market is being attracted. But there is one company that is attempting to push into the mainstream, or maybe this company is making another market. I’m talking about the electric vehicle market—which I will be discussing further in this article. So what are the entry barriers? Structural entry barriers - this is what makes it difficult to enter into the industry because of the technology that is needed in the current market; the already capable incumbents; the demand that is already in the market that is already dominated by some other brands; and consumer tendency to retain the old. Currently, the most nations are pushing for electrifying transportation which demands for the further innovation in the EV or hybrid technology. With the industry that has been dominated by the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) for more than a century, electric vehicle is a new market. This drive for electrification could shake the down the current Structural Barrier, as not all of the automotive manufacturers have the blueprints for Electric Vehicles. This is how Tesla was able to, push through the structural barrier. Reaction of existing firms - I believe this one is simple to understand, just imagine everyone in a pub already drunk in all the booze they had, and here comes you who all of a sudden banged the door to have a share of the feast. Everyone looks at you… The bartender asks: ,What do you want? ,You then replied with all your proud voice, ,Water! ,Everyone just laughs at you, and they all didn’t take you seriously ignoring you. What if the situation is different? And you just pointed that oldest scotch on the far left-side of the bar without a word, everyone looks at you unaware of your real intentions, just waiting for your words. Finally you said… ,I want that 193*…Hold it right there young lad, ,said the oldest patron of the pub. ,No one should possess that relic. And so you argued, and soon the entire pub joined the commotion. The question is… Can you defend yourself, or at least survive? Let’s see… Pagani and Koenigsegg did focus on differentiation with their Zonda, and CCXR respectively in 2009. And now we have the world’s first megacar from Koenigsegg, the One:1. You see it will take quite a long journey to even introduce a new car that will stun the motoring world. UPDATE July 10, 2020:, And how about a Hypercar that has 4 seats for the family, and with only a three-cylinder hybrid under the bonnet, because you know, fuel consumption. But mind you, Koenigsegg was able to extract 600 HP! that;s 200HP per cylinder. How crazy is that!? Well not really because the electric motor gives it a boost. And this is how Koenigsegg is keeping on track with the market. Koenigsegg Gemera And you must see the technology behind that amazing engine with the free-valve system. That’s only a valve system that’s like a solenoid that’s controlled by a pneumatic system. That’s innovation, right there! And then there was this Honda Civic in 1977, and Mini Minor Morris in 1959 which took advantage of the petrol crisis of their times. This is cost leadership. UPDATE July 10, 2020:, In here is Honda again, taking advantage of the current needs of the market. Due to the world’s government call for greener innovations to help the environment, Electric Vehicles are gaining traction. Hence, Honda being clever as ever, introduced to the world a Honda Urban EV concept, which is very reminiscent of their 1st Gen Honda Civic. This could be the Honda Civic of the EV Era. Image source: Japanese Nostalgic Car. While entering through internal development, it may be possible that there may be some mishaps on the considerations as a factor for an entry decision. We should expect for: A significant amount of investment and start-up losses, and assumption of market prices, that is we need to be competitive with our prices so that people will still buy us. We can’t price high, unless we have the right to do so; The effect of our new capacity, should we introduce ourselves having a new capacity, our new technology or innovation; # 2 may affect the distribution of the market share thus we should expect a retaliation or at least a reaction from the existing firms. Case in point, let’s look at Ferruccio Lamborghini. You know his story, he was a pilot and then he retired after the world war, having enough fortune he entered into tractor manufacturing. He owned a Farrari but was disappointed at some aspects, he pointed it out to Enzo Ferrari himself but was dismissed. He got pissed and built his own car. The first car was named 350GT but it was later renamed to 400GT. I’m not sure why though… He sold 13 cars at a loss, but he was able to enter the game. And it was a successful bet. And now we ask… Will retaliation occur? ,Internal entry will most likely to be disruptive and provoke retaliation, targeting especially on risky industry entries. These are the kinds of industries where retaliation will most likely occur: Slow Growth – because it will further divide market share Commodity or Commodity-Like Products – no brand loyalties hence competition is quite tight, as there is always competition High Fixed Costs – an entrant will add to the cost. What cost? Opportunity cost, as some customers might transfer therefore an existing firm would loose the customer whom would have been thiers High Industry Concentration – entrant is very noticeable; in fragmented industry retaliation may not be quite severe Industries that have incumbents who attach high strategic importance to their position in the business And you should look out for the attitudes of the incumbent management - how did they react before when there was a new entrant? In the car industry, will retaliation occur?, It might depend on who you are and what you can do. Remember the pub metaphor I pointed out before? Again race on Sunday, sell on Monday. ,You get the idea. How to get in, and what to look for? ,Look for the weaker entry points and attack there. And we identify the target industries for internal entry. If an industry is stable (equilibrium), the expected profits could not break the structural barrier, thus an advantage is needed. Targets should have: Disequilibrium industry - the competition is favoured to some or few. This maybe a newly emerged industry, or the entry barriers are only still rising, or the industry players are poorly informed of their situation. this usually happens on small industries. Expected slow and ineffectual retaliation from existing firms - compete with firms whom you know are not really agressive Incumbents’ cost of effective retaliation outweighs the benefits, that is, if the existing firms think that dealing with you is just a wast of resources The entrant can exploit conventional wisdom. Usually they would say: ,we make cars this way so why change?, So to work on our advantage we introduce an innovation. Existing firms’ cost of responding are great given the need to protect their existing businesses, that is, big boys don’t play with babies anymore. But what happened when Toyota tried to play around? 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid, but it was mostly frowned and mostly doesn’t appeal the petrolhead market with its looks. The other big car companies did not retaliate or it wasn’t really obvious or it wasn’t at all directed to this move by Toyota. Honda had a hybrid too, right? There is a paternal dominant firm or tight group of longstanding leaders. Case in point, considering our car industry… We can expect a slow and ineffectual retaliation from the existing firms. Like The giants. Lower entry cost firm than others - see if getting in is reasonably cheap or at least affordable Distinctive ability to influence the industry structure - if you strongly believe that you can change the game why not. Look at Elton Musk. Positive effects on firm’s existing business - suppose you have an existing business, entering into another industry may be more feasible if the entry is a complementary to your existing business. Example, you have a bakery, you may want to enter into a flour milling business, this is want we call the ,backward vertical integration,, backward because you backed up in the process chain from bakery to flour milling, but if you entered into distribution of the bread from your bakery and entered into retailing that is ,forward vertical integration. Generic Concepts for Entry Reduce Product Cost Buy in with Low Price Offer a Superior Product, Broadly Defined Discover a New Niche Introduce a Marketing Innovation Use Piggybacked Distribution – funded by other business networks Guess who did numbers 3 to 6? UPDATE JULY 10, 2020: ,Talk about innovation and diversification, in the 30th of May 2020 SpaceX did it’s first ever crew launch to space. Another thing to note, and to future readers:, In December of the year 2019, a new strain of corona virus capable of infecting humans was detected in Wuhan Province of China. This virus can prove to be fatal to those whoever are already immune compromised, and has caused the whole world to cease most of it’s economic activities. And that, greatly, hugely affected the automotive industry, where they are compelled by the circumstances of cease production altogether. As the world was seemingly put to a great bus stop. Companies, especially those related to the transport industry, particularly airline companies had already declared bankruptcy. Despite the pandemic, some automotive manufacturing companies, such as GM, Ford, PSA (Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands), Renault, as well as Formula 1 teams such as Mercedes-Benz, among others, helped in producing the much needed materials during the pandemic. These materials included face masks of all things, ventilators, and other medical equipment. Often retaliation is not too quick in the realm of the car industry, most especially in a particular segment. We can take advantage of that. UPDATE JULY 10, 2020: ,And then finally here it is, Porsche, after giving the world the concept for the Taycan in 2015, it was finally put to production and introduced to the market in 2020. That’s about 8 years after Tesla released the Model S in 2012. And as of this writing, it’s too early to tell whether Porsche was able to split the market, or not. UPDATE JUNE 22, 2021: ,Was is right for Porsche to wait that long before releasing the Taycan? As ,The Art of War of Sun Tzu ,said: When you come to a hill or a bank, occupy the sunny side, with the slope on your right rear. Thus you will at once act for the benefit of your soldiers and utilize the natural advantages of the ground. (IX:13) That means, if you’re going to fall back be sure to get the high ground, and do it with clear vision and step back on your best footing. It is advantageous to go up and have an overview of the enemy, see where they are coming from, and what their logistics are. On the competitive perspective, Porsche took a step back on what they know and further improve form there. Porsche had been racing in Le Mans, but since their relaese of the 918 hybrid, they stepped further with their game with 919 Hybrid. Using the knowledge gained from motor racing helped them—not only them but many other manufacturers—to develop their products, and innovate on their systems. Motor racing is a proving ground for these innovation. And the Porsche 919 proved to be very competitive, winning the World Endurance Championship in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Another advantage of Porsche for not hasting the release of their Taycan, and as Sun Tzu said: When an invading force crosses a river in its onward march, do not advance to meet it in mid-stream. It will be best to let half the army get across, and then deliver your attack. (IX:4) Porsche had to enjoy watching Teslas driving on the roads and closely studying them. And indeed they saw a disadvantageous traits of Tesla’s cars. Aside from panel gaps, and few other flimsy bits and pieces, their battery management isn’t quite on the longevity side. Tesla is going all out—but what do you expect from a new entrant, they have to be flamboyant and attract many eyes. Tesla’s systems allowed the batteries to be fully charged as well as fully drained, this causes some unexpected reduction of the battery’s life span and in turn reducing its range in the long run. Porsche saw it, and devised a system that will put their Taycan on a low power mode when the battery is on it’s critical level. So that driver is warned and is advised to charge as soon as possible while still having the ability to move the car. That, and few other things to help promote the longevity of their battery life. It’s not only Porsche who learned about better battery management, so did Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen, and other manufacturers who are just developing their EVs learned that lesson. But then again, Elon Musk have a very interesting marketing style. For one, his company/companies doesn’t have a formal marketing division, he does all of it with publicity. So doing all those stuff even if it makes a little sacrifice on the longevity of his products pays off. It’s already 2021 now, and Tesla had already made a mark. I can tell you that this company is pushing for innovation, at some point leading in most of the innovation like self-driving or autopilot for example. It seems Elon Musk doesn’t bother too much about competition with the big auto manufacturers, but he is pushing everyone towards his vision. The bottom line is you only need few things as what Karl Marx considered as the most important resource in economics. LAND - ,as you need the plant to build your cars, and to fit your facilities , LABOR - ,as you need people to help you, but especially you need the brains of these people too , CAPITAL ,- well you know that part. Now you might say, ,Ah! It’s too complicated, I’ll never make it,. How about we… Enter Into the Industry Through Acquisition. The floor price created by the seller’s alternative of keeping the business is low - it’s simply as if you think you can make it still run better than the previous management and you think you can do it cheaper that they did it before, why not? The market for companies is imperfect and does not eliminate the above-average returns through the bidding process - This is when you play the game of risk taking, whether or not you would trust your abilities to buy the existing business at a cheaper price and make it profitable after few years The buyer has a unique ability to operate the acquired business - if you think you can turn this around, you may. Irrational Bidders - so a business is for sale, there are bidders but you can hire some, pay them to bid low so you can finally cut them all out. Or simply you can buy out the smaller irrelevant bidders. Didn’t we say acquisition? Well some purpose of acquisition is to explore a possibility without compromising the already established brand name. For example, Toyota, they are already known for cheap reliable cars, but they might like to explore creating a supercar, can they do that? That’s why they have Lexus, and they had the LFA, but mostly Lexus is an entry level luxury car. Also there’s GM, their variety is pretty wide from performance Chevies to Isuzu trucks. Or BMW, from driver Bimmers, to fun Mini, to luxurious Royce. So it’s up to you which strategy or combination you will implore. Hope you learned something, at least.
How did Elon Musk manage to become the richest person in the world with companies that aren't even profitable yet?
Elon Musk becomes the richest person in the world by the highest stake in Tesla’s stock, he derives 20% of his wealth from tesla’s share. This year tesla's share is booming🔥, as all Elon Musk fans know, tesla's share has broken records after records of reaching all-time high share prices😎. In this article, you’ll get full insights into how Elon Musk becomes (not manages, coz he don’t work for money) the richest person in the world. Well, we all must know him as the CEO of some most innovative, creative, and world-changing companies, those are SpaceX🚀 a private organization, and TESLA⚡🏎, we also know about his mission of helping humanity with his project NEURALINK🧠 & creating robots with OpenAI. Also, we are aware of the fact that he is having a company creating energy from solar power i.e with SolarCity☀, and I bet you all know the funniest incident when Elon Musk was stuck in a traffic jam and then he got the idea of creating an underground tunnel so that he and people as well can go anywhere faster than ever using the tunnels made by The Boring Company & Hyperloop for cargo. Along with that, he has invested in many stocks and growing companies, such as ,Stemcentrx,, ,vicarious, (Artificial Intelligence Company), ,[INSIDE], (a market consultancy company that help in growing other businesses, he also invested in Alphabet Inc. Google’s ,Deepmind, (a British artificial intelligence and research laboratory), Stripe (a financial services company in San Francisco, California and Dublin, Ireland. Stripe company also offers payment processing methods, just like Elon Musk’s company Paypal (later sold for ,$1.5 billion,.) “Having investments and shares in many companies including Tesla❤, ,(many sources of income) ,made him the Richest Person in the world”. You’re right most of these companies aren’t that profitable to make a person the richest man in the world. And, SpaceX is a private organization. But the growth & increase in wealth of Elon Musk is directly linked with Te$la’s share & market capital growth. Tesla’s, market capitalization is more than all other car manufacturing companies combined. Tesla’s market capitalization, ,as on 31 dec 2020, ,was ,$669 Billion,, while on the other hand, the market capital of other car manufacturing companies such as FCA, Ford, BMW, GM, Daimler, Volkswagen, Toyota, combined was $654 Billion. Further describing…….. FCA, (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), this car manufacturing company is the parent manufacturing company of many famous & luxury cars, such as Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, and Ram Trucks. Ford motor ,is an automotive group that owns three car brands. These are Ford, Lincoln, and Troller. BMW ,automotive group owns the most famous and luxurious car brands, such as BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. GM ,(General Motors) there are 9 Brands owned by this automotive car manufacturing group. These are Buick, Cadillac, Aubobaoijun, Chevrolet, GMC, Holden, Opel, Jiefang, Wuling. Daimler ,is widely known as the manufacturer of Mercedes Benz. Volkswagen ,is one of the biggest and most famous car manufacturing group comprises of 12 brands from 7 European countries, these are Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Ducati, Scania, and MAN. Toyota ,is the most famous car manufacturing & brand itself also own Lexus, Daihatsu, and Hino Motors. But, Tesla is a more valuable company than all of these. Because of its clear mission, and vision of creating Electric cars that are good looking, fast, and easy to use with loaded features. Creating a sustainable environment, and giving us the opportunity to contribute a part in saving the environment. Today, as of 10 Jan 2021, Tesla’s market capitalization is at an all-time high, which is 834.17 Billion Dollars💲. Thanks for Reading,🤗,. Please share if you like it🙏 Have a Nice Day💝! Arman🌹
Would you ever buy a 2021 Lamborghini Urus?
An Itchy Urus ? Its as bad an affront to a great name as any SUV made by what is normally a sportscar maker - the Maserati SUV, Alfa Romeo SUV, and Porsche SUV’s. Heaven help us if Ferrari makes one ! Heck, ,any, SUV is an affront to morality - they are the automotive equivalent of a high chair, for an immature and yet spoilt rich creature. They are more deadly to pedestrians, consume too much fuel, and have worse internal volume than a stationwagon car. That said, when Bentley and Rolls-Royce made theirs, we got absolute confirmation that their goal in life is to make expensive, vulgar rubbish. Given the money I would buy a good car. Not an affront to a great name in the form of a miniaturised truck to avoid American road taxes. With kind regards.
Who is leading in making COVID-19 vaccine?
*ADAR POONAWALLA is leading in manufacturing and supplying of vaccine. Adar Poonawalla can supply Covid jabs to half the world in 12 months. Adar Poonawalla has all the trappings of a jet-set lifestyle – including an office in a refurbished plane. But he’s also the world’s biggest vaccine manufacturer, with an audacious plan to supply the coronavirus vaccine to half the planet by this time next year. What’s more, he’s doing it at $3 a dose, which barely covers costs. By the start of 2020, Adar Poonawalla’s company, Serum Institute of India, was comfortably the biggest vaccine manufacturer by volume in the world. It was making 1.5 billion doses of vaccines annually against diseases such as polio, tetanus, diphtheria and hepatitis B at its state-of-the-art 100-acre campus in Pune, a city 90 miles east of Mumbai. Roughly two thirds of all the children on the planet were vaccinated with one or more of its products. At 39, Poonawalla was truly the “vaccine prince” (his father was known as the king) not just of India, but of the world, with a jet-setting lifestyle and exceedingly glamorous wife to boot. Then came the coronavirus pandemic. “My immediate reaction was that one way or another we’d have to play a significant and very crucial role, leveraging our capacities to make vaccines available to the world,” Poonawalla tells me over Zoom. He is sitting in a plush white leather chair inside a disused Airbus A320, which he has lavishly refurbished into a swanky office with a lounge, boardroom and bedroom. It was here that he just hosted Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, and made a virtual address to the United Nations general assembly. He did not wait for vaccines to be developed. Instead, he immediately embarked on a dramatic expansion of his manufacturing facilities so they would be ready to go the moment a vaccine was approved. “The alternative was to do nothing and just wait for about six months to see which vaccines worked and then invest in capacity,” he says. “Countless lives would have been lost.” Poonawalla invested £270 million of his company’s money, and another £300 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to increase Serum’s manufacturing capacity from 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion doses a year. He imported giant 4,000-litre, 15ft-tall bioreactors costing £1.5 million each from Europe, and machines capable of filling 500 glass vials a minute. He added 700 new recruits to his 6,000-strong workforce. And in the midst of the global lockdown last April, long before he knew whether or when a vaccine would be forthcoming, he agreed to produce one billion doses of whatever the Oxford University-AstraZeneca research team eventually came up with. “It was a huge gamble – huge, huge, huge… People said I was crazy or stupid doing such a big bet at that time,” Poonawalla tells me. Even after vaccines enter trials, the chances of them being licensed are little more than 30 per cent, he says. To hedge his bets, he struck similar agreements with three other companies pursuing Covid-19 vaccines: Novavax, SpyBiotech and Codagenix. He had sleepless nights as the Oxford team pursued its elusive goal. “I don’t know how much hair I’ve lost – probably more than in the past four years,” he says with a laugh. He nonetheless took another big risk in September, when the Oxford vaccine was still at an early stage. He began actually to manufacture it in the hope that it would be licensed, and has already stockpiled at least 50 million doses. Happily, his gamble looks likely to come off. Despite some setbacks, he is confident the Oxford vaccine will be approved, and as soon as it is he will start churning out 100 million priceless doses a month in an effort – to coin a phrase – to “send the virus packing”. He also hopes to start producing the Novavax vaccine in March, and the other two by the end of 2021. Poonawalla says that he is not concerned that the Pfizer vaccine was approved first. “They may have a good vaccine, no doubt about it,” he said. “And it may be 90 per cent effective. But 90 per cent of the world will not be able to use it because of the price and the fact it has to be stored at minus 70C.” By contrast, the Oxford vaccine is easy to store and distribute – and cheap. Under the terms of his agreement with AstraZeneca, Poonawalla will be producing it for 67 developing countries in the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI), including India and most of Africa. Indeed, his overarching ambition is astounding. It is to supply Covid-19 vaccines to fully half the world’s 7.5 billion people in very short order. “If you talk to me this time next year we will probably have achieved, or be on our way to achieving, that target,” he says. Poonawalla insists his primary motivation is not to make money, but to save lives. That is not just public relations spin. For the duration of the pandemic, the Serum Institute will mostly be selling the AstraZeneca vaccine at $3 a dose, which will barely cover its costs. To meet the demand, moreover, it has suspended production of other types of vaccine destined for Europe and America that it would have sold for $20 or $30 a dose (£15-£23). “You can see the sacrifice,” says the man who hopes to deliver humanity from the scourge of this pandemic. The rise of the Serum Institute of India is a remarkable story of vision and enterprise, and of tables turned. Back in the 19th century, or so the story goes, a distant ancestor of Poonawalla’s worked as a “billiard marker” in a British officers’ club in Poona, as Pune was known in colonial times. He would retrieve the balls, keep the score and fill glasses. He used the connections he made with colonial administrators to win building contracts, and eventually became such a big landowner that people started calling him “Poonawalla” – the fellow from Poona. Adar Poonawalla has no idea whether that tale is true or not. His forebears were certainly property owners, but his grandfather was one of 14 siblings, so his father, Cyrus, inherited only 40 acres, which were used to breed and race horses. His father saw little future for the stud farm in particular, and horse racing in general, in quasi-socialist, post-independence India. To generate extra income, he began selling horses to a government institute in Mumbai so their blood serums could be used to make a tetanus anti-toxin and an anti-venom for snake bites. He then decided to “up the value chain”, Poonawalla says. “He said, ‘Why should we sell them the horses? Why don’t we do this ourselves?’ ” In 1966, his father set up Serum Institute at a time when most vaccines were imported from abroad and far too expensive for hundreds of millions of ordinary Indians. It was also a time when lots of new vaccines were coming on stream, and the business took off. Cyrus Poonawalla, 79, is now the sixth richest man in India with a fortune of roughly $12 billion, just behind the Hinduja brothers but eclipsing the steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal. By the Nineties, he was wealthy enough to send his only son to St Edmund’s School in Canterbury, where young Poonawalla captained the tennis team for two years but earned only middling A levels. From there the boy followed friends to Westminster University, graduating with a second-class business degree. “I was never that good at academics,” he admits, but very soon he was demonstrating a considerable flair for business. In 2001, he returned to India to join Serum Institute’s sales team, travelling around the country to learn the business from the bottom up. He then started developing an international market, cutting the price of vaccines by producing them in huge quantities and focusing on developing countries that the big western pharmaceutical companies ignored. Soon, he says, “we were not able to service the demand”. In 2011, he became Serum Institute’s chief executive and set about doubling its production capacity, not least because he heard Bill Gates give a TED Talk in 2015 in which Microsoft’s co-founder warned that a pandemic posed a much greater threat to humanity than nuclear war because the world was so unprepared for one. Expansion on that scale was a huge risk that Poonawalla could only take because the company was privately owned and he had no shareholders or investors to constrain him – just his father, who on occasion took some convincing. But by the time a global pandemic did finally strike this year, Serum Institute was five times bigger than when Poonawalla joined in 2001, selling vaccines to 170 countries and generating annual revenues in excess of $800 million. It was also a partner of the World Health Organisation, and saving millions of lives. “The contribution it has made to global health has been phenomenal,” said Gates. Poonawalla now enjoys all the trappings of great wealth, and is quite unashamed of the fact. “We like to enjoy our life, because we’re not afraid of retribution or anyone who could question us, in the sense that we’ve made our wealth legally and properly and ethically,” he says. “A lot of people in India have always been fearful of enjoying their wealth, because perhaps some of them have not really done it the right way.” He has his own 200-acre stud farm with a stylish ranch house near Serum Institute’s Pune campus, and breeds many of India’s top racehorses. He is trying to finalise the purchase of Lincoln House, the former Maharajah of Wankaner’s sprawling seafront palace in Mumbai, which later became the US consulate, reportedly for a record price for an Indian residential property of $113 million. He goes to the World Economic Forum in Davos, sails on the French Riviera, attends grands prix and calls the Prince of Wales “a close and very dear friend”. He has private jets and a helicopter to ferry him between Pune and Mumbai. He owns paintings by Picasso, Dalí, Rembrandt and Rubens. He has a collection of 35 classic cars that includes vintage Silver Cloud and Phantom Rolls-Royces which, in pre-pandemic days, he would sometimes drive around Pune. “I enjoy them more than modern Ferraris and Lamborghinis, which I have a few of, but I hardly enjoy them now because they are so common. It doesn’t excite me that much.” He met his wife, Natasha, in Goa in 2001 at a New Year’s Eve party hosted by Vijay Mallya, another Indian business tycoon. They have two sons. She is a highly photogenic favourite of India’s glossy magazines. She has been a Vogue cover girl and mixes with Bollywood stars and other glitterati. She counts Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas among her best friends and goes to – and sometimes hosts – the best parties. She models the latest designer clothes and has been labelled “India’s first lady of fabulousness” by Elle magazine. But she is no trophy wife. Soon after Poonawalla gained his modest degree from Westminster University, she earned a master’s from the London School of Economics. “She’s more qualified to run Serum Institute than I am,” Poonawalla says with a laugh. She actually runs the Villoo Poonawalla Foundation, Serum’s charitable arm, which is named after Poonawalla’s late mother. Its immodest ambition is to turn Pune, with a population of six million, into a model Indian city. It finances 7 schools and a hospital, provides clean drinking water at 35 locations, and has hundreds of full-time employees backed by 250 trucks collecting refuse from the streets for conversion into biogas. Poonawalla – named India’s philanthropist of the year by Indian GQ in 2016 – says he pumps $20-$25 million into the foundation each year. “I feel our impact should be at scale, otherwise there’s no point.” But it is Serum Institute’s provision of vaccines to the world’s poor that he is most proud of. “It’s the single biggest motivational factor every day I wake up and I’m feeling lethargic to go to the office,” he says. “Everyone here at Serum feels and knows that purpose, and I think what’s driven us in the past few years is to know you’re making a difference in people’s lives and actually saving millions of lives every year.” Poonawalla expects to be making Covid-19 vaccines for another five or ten years or more, not least because people may need booster jabs and today’s largely immune children will grow into more vulnerable adults. He is also working with another Oxford University team on a pioneering vaccine for malaria that is in late-stage trials, and with other researchers on vaccines for dengue fever, meningitis and human papillomavirus, which causes cervical cancer in women. Vaccine manufacturing was once a niche industry. Now it is crucial for the future of mankind and, thanks to Covid-19, governments around the world finally understand that. Thus Poonawalla plans to increase Serum Institute’s manufacturing capacity by a further one billion doses within three years. “We have no choice,” says the man on whom much of the world depends for its future wellbeing. “If I believe what I’m saying about future pandemics and vaccine demand growing, I’d be foolish not to reinvest all my capital.” He expects global pandemics to become more common as the human population grows, encroaches on animal habitats and travels more, and as climate change creates conditions more conducive to the spreading of disease. “It’s a melting pot, a stirring pot, just waiting to churn out more of these kinds of terrible viruses,” he says. He believes that we were “lucky” with Covid-19. “Can you imagine if ebola were as infectious as coronavirus? We would probably not be having this conversation. One of us would probably not be alive.” Courtesy: Google
