This tweet by a retired wealthy industrialist with too much time on his hands and no idea what to do with it illustrates what is wrong with India.
He extols the virtues of a clay water storage unit, the surahi, from the mid-20th century.

Of course, while he lives in unimaginable luxury, the likes of which we can't dream of.
It's a foolish comparison, because the surahi can only store and cool water by a few degrees, whereas the fridge can cool anything, preserve food, and make ice (needed for his scotch).

But that didn't stop Indian twitterati from going ga-ga over his tweet. Why?
Because if there's one thing guaranteed to give you applause in India today, it is hearkening to the past.
Our grandparents had the most wonderful life. Our country was great in the good old days.

From LEADER to LAGGARD:
How BMW (and TOYOTA) sealed its EV fate in a single day
🚀NEW VIDEO OUT
Why is it that #BMW and #Toyota, two prominent LEADERS, became dead-last LAGGARDS once #Disruption arrived?
I thought I knew why, but Boy was I wrong!

Years ago I heard something on BMW which I knew wouldn't end well.
My prediction is now coming true
But going down this rabbit-hole I realized something more FUNDAMENTAL is at play at BMW, and the same goes for Toyota!

BMW won't survive. Toyota possibly will.
This video is one of my favorite stories. It weaves through decades and continents, shows leadership in face of disruption, shows @elonmusk @jimfarley98 #NikolaTesla #HenryFord the Innovator's dilemma and lots of shirtsleeves

Oggi è arrivato l’ok definitivo dell’#UE sullo stop alle auto a benzina e diesel dal 2035. Ma la transizione all’elettrico non è così semplice.

Stando all’ex Ceo di #Toyota, la maggioranza silenziosa degli addetti ai lavori è scettica sull’elettrico come unica via per il futuro dell’automotive. Non a caso il colosso giapponese ha scelto di diversificare e sta puntando su ibrido e #idrogeno.

La transizione all’elettrico, insomma, non è scontata. Da un lato serve un’infrastruttura di ricarica capillare, e non tutti i Paesi sono pronti. Dall’altro, c’è la complicatissima partita delle #batterie.

“If you were to pick a company whose approach to automotive engineering ran directly counter to the software world’s ‘move fast and break things’ philosophy, then it would have to be Toyota. After all, this is a company whose strategic plans are measured in decades, not months.
But Toyota also can’t ignore the march toward the software-defined car and the extra revenue that will undoubtedly come from having a global fleet of connected, updatable and data-generating vehicles.”
So what is the Toyota strategy? The answer – what else? – is that it will take the same methodical approach to software as does for vehicle development and manufacturing. Toyota says it will “achieve TPS in software”, referring to its famed Toyota Production System

I think the projects will go in the same direction as the current rebuild of 90 T-72 tanks or the production of 115 MR-2 systems. That is, the production and coordination of the projects will be done in 🇨🇿#Czechia, while the 🇳🇱#Netherlands will largely finance the projects.

@and_partnership 3/ Here's a #BeyondZero Toyota ad in a british newspaper in April 2022. At the same time as this ad was running, the company were threatening to pull their manufacturing plant from Burnaston (near Derby) if the UK government didn't water down their Net Zero transport targets.
Akio Toyoda, président du constructeur japonais #Toyota a déclaré que "le secteur #automobile mondial compte une majorité silencieuse qui se demande s’il est judicieux de miser tous ses actifs sur les véhicules électriques au détriment d'autres solutions."wsj.com/articles/toyot…
C'est un pavé dans la marre que jette ici le plus grand industriel mondial de l'automobile en dénonçant le "tout-batterie" dans l'automobile... quand on voit que Luca de Meo a été obligé de brader l'héritage technologique de Renault en matière de moteurs thermiques aux chinois...
... la réglementation de l'Union Européenne d'imposer, au détriment de toute analyse rationnelle du marché mondial de l'automobile, le passage au 100% véhicules électriques vendus en Europe dès 2035 est une opération de destruction incroyable de l'industrie européenne.
@reuters article on #Toyota talks of a possible reboot of it's EV strategy because it's present mixed EV/ICE manufacturing strategy just can't compete with Tesla lower cost pure EV platform. reuters.com/business/autos…
To compete you have to make a compelling product and to make it at volumes and costs that are profitable.
Right now Toyota is loosing at all 3 when competing with Tesla, and Toyota's tactic of delay and FUD to slow BEV growth hasn't worked sufficiently to stop them breaking out.

Waking up to the realization that they can't put the BEV genie back in the bottle is progress, but they actually have to come up with a compelling and profitable BEV product line.
Cancelling BEVs they currently have in development and to restart from scratch is likely too late.

Toyota has been ranked dead last in the Auto Environment Guide for its lobbying against climate action, refusal to embrace electric vehicles, and continued advocacy for highly polluting hybrids: greenpeace.org/static/planet4…

Getting the whole world to #netzero #GHGs rapidly is going to be incredibly difficult. But given how strong and organized the #climateopposition is, we must distinguish #thesignalfromthenoise on which pathways are the most likely to succeed. A 🧵 on how I think about this 1/14

3/ #Technologyandpolicy (and politics) need to do the heavy lifting. Can they deliver? Yes, but to effectively channel our efforts and fight off the opposition, we need to distinguish between main courses, side dishes and poison pills (frequently buried in the side dishes)
