Car Buyers Are Impatient Now | Here’s What They Actually Want

Cars look nothing like they did even a few years ago, and the car industry 2025 story proves it. This is my automotive industry 2025 recap, covering the biggest automotive wins and fails, the auto industry trends driving buyer behaviour, and the latest car news shaping what comes next. We dig into Tesla Cybertruck sales and the Cybertruck failure (including why did the Cybertruck fail), the GWM V8 debate (is the V8 coming back), the Jaguar electric rebrand, and the Nissan GT-R end of production. If you follow car news, automotive news, tesla news, and electric vehicles, this is the one to watch.

We look at the real auto industry trends shaping buyer behaviour, product decisions, and long-term strategy across Australia and global markets.

Inside this episode:
• The ute shake-up, from BYD Shark 6 lifestyle builds to Ford Ranger Super Duty extremes
• Why Tesla Cybertruck sales collapsed, and what the Cybertruck failure teaches us about hype versus usefulness
• The backlash against paywalled car features and ongoing car subscription features
• Why ANCAP safety rules and modern driver assistance systems are under fire
• The return of big engines, including the GWM V8, and why plug-in hybrid cars now matter more than EV purity
• What rising PHEV Australia demand and an EV market slowdown really mean
• The fallout from the Jaguar electric rebrand
• Why Chinese car brands Australia are winning trust, and why MG sales Australia are slipping
• The Nissan GT-R end of production and what it signals for automotive icons
• How cost pressure could push AI in automotive development in the years ahead

We also tackle the big questions buyers keep asking:
Why did the Cybertruck fail?
Are Chinese cars good now?
Is the V8 coming back for real, or just through hybrids?

If you want a clear-eyed take on automotive wins and fails, shifting power in the global car market, and what actually matters to buyers right now, this one is for you.

The automotive industry discourse has significantly shifted, with discussions now centered on the future of electric cars and the broader car future.
