Automotive manufacturers are the brands that everyone knows — Ford and Toyota and BMW and their competitors. These firms are commonly referred to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), While these manufacturers produce some original equipment, their real strength is in designing cars, marketing ordering the parts from suppliers, and assemble https://medium.com/self-driving-cars/the-automotive-supply-chain-explained-d4e74250106f If we step back in time approx 25 years OEM such as Ford and GM had their own manufacturing divisions Visteon being part of Ford and Delphi Technologies part of GM. Both Visteon and Delphi Technologies were sold off by their parent brand in the late 1990s Today most Automotive Brands retain their own manufacturing for key Components such as engine, gearbox sometimes wholly manufactured by the OEM/Brand and sometimes through Joint Ventures between OEM and XXX Tier 1 Suppliers Companies that supply parts or systems directly to OEMs are called Tier 1 suppliers. Some of these brands are recognizable, like Bosch or Continental. Some of them are less so. OEM approach Tier 1 suppliers and provide them for example specs of a battery that they require for vehicle xxx which will be sold in these countries .The Oem will specify the length of warranty required and the criteria of what is required for a warranty claim. When Tier 1 suppliers submit their bid cost to OEM built into that bid cost is amount that is set aside for warranty claims The OEM manages the warranty claims system on behalf of the end customer and their Tier 1 suppliers and their own manufacturing divisions Auto Parts Supplier Warranty Report: Slowly but surely, the companies that manufacture powertrain components such as engines and transmissions have seen their share of the warranty expenses rise, https://www.warrantyweek.com/archive/ww20200326.html Customers want longer extend warranties but don't want to pay for those longer warranties through increased cost of vehicles As for dealerships some oem would prefer to sell directly to end customer if they were allowed to Why Can’t Car Manufacturers Direct Sell to Consumers? Every car manufacturer has to play by certain rules when it comes to selling their vehicles.

Ford dealers are defying company orders with insane F-150 Lightning markups https://www.teslarati.com/ford-dealers-are-defying-company-orders-with-insane-f-150-lightning-markups/ For Most automakers every vehicle that comes off the production line is already sold to a dealer in most cases the dealer already has received an order from an end customer

I see some some brands have closed their Reservation program for ordering new EV, some dealers who are independent franchises from the automakers are applying additional markups ranging from $40,00-$70,000 USD I doubt US automakers are losing money on building vehicles as that would result in bankruptcy or closure similar some people are hoping that brands in Thailand will absorb increased battery costs which some have increased by 500%

No In 2019 if you purchased hyundai kona in the US it came with a lifetime battery warranty ( Original owner only) That was withdrawn for 2020 and now they offer High-voltage battery 10 years / 200,000km ( US not sure about other countries)

In some countries the duration of the warranty is enforced by Goverment agencies In the US they have stated if you want to sell Most automakers have an 8 to 10-year or 100,000 miles warranty period on their batteries. This is because federal regulation in the U.S. mandates that electric car batteries be covered for a minimum of eight years. https://www.greencars.com/guides/definitive-guide-to-electric-car-batteries-range

MG ZS EV refuses to start after charging, leaves me stranded I finished the charging, unplugged and tried to start the car. To my horror, the car simply refused to start and kept on giving “HV Battery Shutoff” & “Vehicle Control System Fault”.

This small mistake of mine converted into a huge nightmare for me. https://www.team-bhp.com/news/mg-zs-ev-refuses-start-after-charging-leaves-me-stranded

As this thread points out that WLTP This has been replaced by WLTP. It gives a more realistic measure of range When people are doing their research on EV's they need to aware if Brand A is providing their figures based on the WLTP testing protocol. and Brand B is providing their figures based on NEDC testing protocol The NEDC figures will be higher but will they be accurate in that if you test drive both vehicles will they go the full distance As we have already seen on this thread car manufacturers are using the outdated NEDC testing protocol and the WLTP testing protocol for same car, same battery

From the link that you provided The WLTP cycle, which is much more realistic than the NEDC, includes as many actual driving conditions as possible: urban, suburban, and a combination of the two. For electric vehicles, for example, a car with a range of 400 km according to the NEDC has a range of only slightly over 300 km according to the WLTP. So if you want to know how far you can travel before you need to charge you use WLTP
