CAr manufacturers have seen how phone makes have been able to con the public for years that they need a new phone every year.

 

Getting you to do the same with your car is pretty much the dream scenario for them. They've tried their best with various contract hire and PCP deals over the years but never quite got it to the car as a subscription art that the phone guys have.

 

But now the arse is falling out of this market with phones, many more people are just looking at phones as white goods and wondering what they are getting for their £1000.

Cars ahve always been seen as white good by many, so the manufacturers are trying to climb onto a cycle that that has ended for phones. Short sighted but I'm sure theya re seeing the electric conversion of cars as a what to drive the paradime shift. It'll fail, but they'll be trying to force us into it for the next 10yr anyway.

 

Just you wait you'll be seeing BAAS and CAAS soon (Battery as a service, Car as a service ). The *AAS will be familiar to all the IT guys.

Subscription is the new big thing. There is a Lord of the realm that is investing in a big way with Subscription and vehicle renting. This is not being political because the Lord involved is not a Politician just a multi millionaire who donates and lends to the present Government and might be in the news quite a bit in the next wee while.    Check out the  Havisham Group & ELMO if interested. Lord David Brownlow is the dude.

From 2030 it will be quite a change in what new cars you can buy in the UK.

No connection to anything.  Nothing to see here just move on. The public do not care about refurbishing flats.
