Wheels issue

Gotta feel for Toyota
The spec on the vehicle in question is pretty good for an EV

 

[Minkey]

How long have Toyota been producing cars and they have a problem now with wheels falling off seems very strange to me

Proly a change of supplier or maybe ( likely ) different spec that has failed
BMW have been producing vehicle for a 200 years, but in 2008 the bearings on the drive shaft were failing at an alarming rate
Came out they changed to a supplier in Poland.. The soon went back to a Japanese supplier !

It can easily happen when some bright spark in the "procurement" chain changes supplier/spec without telling anyone.

We've had it when something reliable for years suddenly starts failing regularly and finally it comes out someone made a "value engineering" decision that didn't have much value attached

Cops here had Toyota "jeeps".
Some intelligent person decided to change, I think to Hyundai, bottom line was the Hyundai hadn't got enough storage in the boot for all the gear.

They also left Mondeos for Hyundai which cops weren't happy with.

Ivor Williams Trailers were an icon. The old man retired and left his son to run the business. The son brought in his wife and she decided to save money with different suppliers. The inevitable happened and the old man had to come back and kick his daughter in law out the door. Normal service was resumed but many other suppliers had got a big foot in the market.

Bright spark? EV?

He was thinking Ivor the Engine

I knew it wouldn't be long before the wheels fell off the EV thing

No V in the Welsh alphabet so whilst the rest of the UK drive electric vehicles EVs the Welsh will drive EWs funny how everything in Wales come back to sheep

CT actually, for 'cerbyd trydan' which translates as vehicle electric.

Any second now andyBeaker will be along to warn me for using facts.

I have no idea if it is a fact or not as my Walesish is very limited.
