What a shame.

From the article: "In the U.S., hybrid demand significantly exceeds production capacity, leading to tight inventories at dealerships, Miyazaki said."

I'll further my point about hybrid being such a low-hanging, realistic solution.

The core technology has been there since the late 90s. Every single major manufacture can quickly produce them. This doesn't have to be just daily family cars, the luxury market (Ferrari) and the 4x4 segment can also take advantage of this. There is already a hybrid Tundra available.

Lets take London for e.g. there are about 2.5 Million cars, lets assume if all of all them were to be hybrid, you would have SIGNIFICANT reduction in fuel consumption and costs to the owners, without ANY lifestyle change. You are not giving anything up as there is something available for everyone's taste.

No range anxiety.

I seriously do not understand why governments don't take this seriously.

Hybrid is so underrated. I have always said this is the way!

Easy is some ways and really really hard in others. The stress will shave a few years off.

For a lot of people, a job in big tech is the way to go.

Whatever you decide to start, 80% of your time will be dedicated to sales, marketing, and biz dev, so make sure you like these activities.

100x this. Put very succinctly.

Absolutely +1 for private offices. Have been arguing for this for years now. I am actually surprised and puzzled why engineers did not demand this earlier..???

Funny...reminds me of how the Island State of Tuvalu really benefited from the .tv domain.

Good points but these are just surface level news that I was aware of. I am talking about internal business decisions.

Additionally the industry is big and global, both horizontally and vertically.

Much bigger than just Big Tech.

For e.g. AWS lay offs does not give a full picture of that sector as investment in data center real estate is hot in certain markets. However many are cautious about new big projects this year.
