Happy April 1st as we roll into a fresh week, fresh month, and fresh quarter all at the same time. Today we're talking about landing Elon Musk as a special guest. We also ask what we have learned as an industry about inventory levels, as well as looking back on 20 years of Gmail. In a decisive stance against e-commerce giant Amazon and competing OEMs like Hyundai, Toyota President Jack Hollis voiced a resolute "no" to selling cars on the platform at the Automotive Forum New York. Here's why Toyota is charting its own digital path:Hollis emphasizes the risk of bypassing Toyota's established dealership system, calling it “a completely divergent path”, advocating for direct engagement with consumers through traditional channels.Introduced in 2019, these digital retailing tools developed for Toyota and Lexus are continually refined based on dealer feedback, ensuring a tailored, seamless customer experience.Toyota commits to enhancing the digital buying experience within its ecosystem, prioritizing the integration with dealership management systems and safeguarding customer privacy.Quote from Jack Hollis: "For us to take the dealer's input and provide it so they have a tool to make it seamless for you, the customer — that, to me, we're all in on."Inventory has been a hot topic in the industry and questions still loom whether OEMs can learn from more stringent inventory levels or whether flush inventory will return.New-vehicle inventory last month reached 2.8 million vehicles, a 78-day supply, according to Cox Automotive, up about 1 million vehicles from where it had stood a year earlier.Tight inventories during the pandemic led to a significant increase in industry profits, reaching $55 billion in annual dealer profits in 2022.Despite the potential benefits of lean inventory management, factors like dealer competition and manufacturing overcapacity suggest this success may be hard to replicate.J.D. Power analysis reveals a direct correlation between inventory levels and dealer margins, highlighting the profitability of operating with fewer vehicles to sell.Automakers and dealers expressed intentions to maintain lower inventory levels, but the return to pre-pandemic inventory and incentive levels seems inevitable."We've learned [as an industry during the pandemic] that we can operate at lower inventory levels," said Tyson Jominy, vice president of data and analytics at J.D. Power.20 years ago, Gmail burst onto the scene with an unbelievable offer: 1 gigabyte of free storage, revolutionizing email and quickly becoming a cornerstone of our digital lives. Now, with over 1.2 billion users, it's a staple, yet many wonder about its future role amidst evolving online communication tools.Despite its success, Gmail's role in daily communication has shifted, with platforms like Slack and WhatsApp taking precedence.Over the years, Google enhanced Gmail with features like better search, themes, and smart replies, though its essence remains largely unchanged.Gmail has evolved beyond a mere email service to become a crucial part of our online identity, critical for accessing various online serviHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

There is a lot to talk about this Tuesday folks. We cover yesterday's COX Insights report as well as an update from Toyota's North America CEO. We also talk about Hyundai's potential new EV charging network, as well as the new Starbucks CEO working shifts at the counter. Yesterday was all about the numbers as Cox Automotive held their Q1 2023 Industry Insights and Sales Forecast Call where affordability, supply, and other factors affected the industry. In a separate meeting, Toyota NA President, Jack Hollis discussed the automakers plans and outlook for another solid year of salesJack Hollis, Toyota NA CEO, predicts very strong demand for their new vehicles throughout the year as well as a new car avg transaction price crossing $50kCiting remaining strong used car demand and pricing he said: He said, "The only thing holding us back [as an industry] is the totality of the supply chain and the fragility of it, because we're not back to normal anywhere globally."Hyundai is considering launching its own branded electric vehicle (EV) charging network in the US, as part of plans to sell 1.5 million EVs globally by 2030. Olabisi Boyle, vice president-product planning and mobility strategy for Hyundai Motor North America, said the network would be set up in partnership with other companiesThe Korean automaker has opened a fast-charging station in Seoul, which includes a cafe and lifestyle store, and has already announced branded stations for the Korean marketTesla is the only manufacturer which owns and operates a robust network of 40k global chargers and are widely known to be more reliable and convenient than other, fragmented optionsNew Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan who just started the new role a few weeks ago announced plans to work a half shift in a Starbucks cafe once a month in order to stay in touch with the front line of the business. He wrote a letter to the company's employees and named them “the artists and the theater in the front of [Starbucks] stores and the factory in the back.” as he said “health” of the company needs “to be stronger” In the 6 months leading up to taking the role he earned his barista certificate and visited many stores, farms, and manufacturing facilitiesThe 55 year old Executive, has a degree in mechanical engineering, was Chief Commercial Officer of Pepsi, and speaks six languages; German, English, Spanish, and three Indian dialectsGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion
The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
It's Friday, friends. Today we contrast the operational ongoings of Toyota with Tesla in the first few weeks of 2023. We also talk about a potential mess for local Denver residents as a Carvana parking garage sits empty. Tesla has seriously slashed the price on its bestselling Model Y Long range. After a year of, to quote Elon Musk, “embarrassingly high prices”, the company announced a whopping 20% price cut to its most popular Model Y Long Range bringing the price down from over $65k to under 55k. It will now be eligible for the $7500 federal incentiveBase Model 3's price was cut $3,000 to $43,990. Starting price for the Model S dropped $10,000 to $94,990 Midsize Model X SUV dropped $11,000 to $109,990.NOTE: the 3 row Model Y is considered an SUV (category has an 80k cap)Stock down 4.5% in response to the newsIn contrast to that story, Toyota's Jack Hollis, Toyota's executive vice president of sales, is talking about all the pent up demand for Toyotas and Lexus…at their normal pricesDealer Steve Gates, 2023 chairman of the Toyota National Dealer Council, and owner of 11 store group Gates Auto Family, which owns 3 Toyota stores and a Lexus store, told Wards Automotive his Toyota and Lexus inventory has been zero or close to it at the end of most months. “It's become sort of a point of pride.”One of his stores ended with only 7 vehicles on the lot, a few of them presold. Said pre-orders alone could carry them through the first 6 months of 2023After months of convincing a local zoning board, the city of Denver has a brand new, but fully empty, Carvana vending machine although construction ended months agoSome describe it as ‘a parking garage blocking my mountain view'Others compare it to a more expensive wacky waving guy or inflatable gorillaMany are worried the property will be incredibly difficult to redevelop if the company goes bankruptAlso: This is some of the best local news reporting and delivery we've ever seen“‘The car vending machine is a really novel idea,' Wayland said. ‘It's kind of like having a wacky, waving inflatable man in front of a dealership or a giant gorilla. It's just a little bit more costly.'”Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email Share your positive dealer stories: https://www.asotu.com/positivity ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion
Streaming Services We knew the day was coming when streaming would have bigger viewership than cable TV. It officially happened this past July. Streaming services accounted for 34.8% of total US TV viewing compared with cable at 34.4%. The 34.8% streaming services viewing climbed dramatically from 23% one year earlier. We may see similar numbers in August but in September we may see a switch back to cable as major networks launch new seasons and new shows. Streaming businesses are still losing hundreds of millions of dollars as witnessed in the latest quarter. Part of this is because of the cost to create new content and it is so easy to switch from one streaming company after a specific show/series is over to another streaming company. Remember how difficult switching cable companies was? You had to have a cable guy come out for an appointment that was set a week ago and then wait half a day at home for them to show up to switch your service. Now you can switch your streaming service just sitting on your couch in the comfort of your living room. I think the winner long term in the streaming services will be those that have the most titles in their libraries, along with the best studios to produce new content in. Student Loans The news from President Biden around student loan debt is quite frankly idiotic and dangerous in my opinion. To begin with we are delaying payments on student loan debt again to the end of December 31st, because people have not had enough time to prepare? What about the last 2+ years of not making payments? Also, the $10,000 worth of forgiveness is estimated to cost another $300 B. In an inflationary environment the type of loose spending we have been seeing does nothing to help reduce the inflation burden for the average consumer and in fact likely fuels inflation higher. It is also just unfair to the people that have diligently paid off their debt, opted to join the military to receive the GI bill, or just avoided college due to the high cost. The biggest problem here is this does absolutely nothing to solve the root cause of the problem and in fact may just fuel the cost of college higher. Students borrowing money today will continue to rack up debt and will likely want another handout in just a few years. I don't see how this does our economy and our country any good. Federal Reserve I have been thinking both the stock and bond markets were taking the Federal Reserve and its interest rate policy too lightly. Powell has now made his intentions clear, making some strong comments like, "While higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses. These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.” Unfortunately, I don't believe the battle with inflation is over and I believe interest rates will continue to rise. Inflation / Interest Rates Rising The Fed's preferred measure for inflation, the personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE), showed inflation easing somewhat as in the month of July the index climbed 6.3% year over year vs the 6.8% gain in the month of June. While inflation is easing, it is still well above the 2.0% level the Fed targets, which is why I believe they will continue to move forward with quantitative tightening and interest rate hikes. I'm still optimistic we will see inflation ease as we exit the year, but there is still a way to go before inflation is no longer a concern. Bed Bath & Beyond I hate to say it, but I really don't feel bad for these meme investors that are getting hammered the past few days. Traders in Bed Bath and Beyond (BBBY) saw shares fall more than 40% on Friday and they are down more than 60% if you bought last Wednesday morning. The reason for the crash is Ryan Cohen exited his position in the company and he was a major reason for the excitement from the Reddit crowd. He definitely capitalized off the small investor who will yet again be stuck holding the bag for these silly investments. When will they learn? Subscriptions / Cell Phones Wireless subscriptions are still growing at a rate of 3.9% year over year. One area that has grown dramatically is for children between the ages of 8 and 12-years-old. Back in 2015, 24% of that age group had their own cell phone. Today nearly half or 43% of kids in that age range have their own cell phone. I have no idea why an eight or nine year old needs a cell phone other than to talk to mom or dad. Electric Vehicles Not everyone thinks that electric vehicles will be flooding our streets in the near future. Jack Hollis who is executive vice president of sales at Toyota Motor North America believes a high sticker price and a poor public charging infrastructure will likely keep customers from widely embracing battery powered vehicles. He also has concerns on the rising cost of raw materials such as lithium, cobalt and other crucial battery inputs which will be pushing electric vehicle car prices even higher. In the near-term Toyota will continue to focus on hybrids and plug-in hybrids believing they will appeal more to a mass market. The hybrids are also more affordable and another concern keeping people from going to full electric vehicles is range anxiety of being stuck on the road with a dead battery. However, 8 to 12 years down the road it appears to be a different story. Tesla On Thursday morning Tesla investors will wake up to have three shares for every one share of Tesla stock they had on Wednesday. Going back to August 2020, for every one share you had of Tesla you will now have 15 on Thursday. That sounds like a big win, but valuations still matter in the long run. If Tesla stock drops by 30% that would be a decline of $90. That doesn't sound like that much, but if you go back prior to August 2020 the equivalent share price would be about $4500, and the dollar drop would be $1350. Tesla still has a price/earnings ratio of around 109 which means based on current earnings it would take you 109 years to get back what you paid for the stock. Don't be fooled by financial shenanigans as companies play with stock splits. With rising interest rates, a slowing economy, higher expenses on EV parts and competition coming from all of the car makers, the stock still remains way overpriced. The number of shares you have when it comes to splits does not matter, it is the value of each share based on the company's fundamentals. Housing Market The demand side of the equation in the housing market continues to show signs of weakness as pending home sales were 19.9% lower in the month of July compared to last year. We have discussed how the lack of supply has kept prices elevated, but pricing is starting to show some cracks as people simply can't afford these high home prices with higher mortgage rates. According to the National Association of Realtors, higher rates have pushed the typical mortgage payment up by 54% from a year ago. This has pushed housing affordability to its lowest level in 30 years. Assuming a 20% down payment, it currently requires 32.7% of the median household income to purchase the average home. This compares to about 20% of a household's median income before the pandemic. The 25-year average is 23.5%. The affordability appears to be starting to impact prices as in the month of July prices declined 0.77% compared to June. This was the first monthly decline in approximately 3 years and was the largest monthly drop since January 2011. Year over year price growth remained strong as prices were up 14.3% compared to July 2021. I believe we will continue to see double digit year over year gains as we conclude 2022, but as we lap these higher prices in 2023, I believe it is likely we will start to see year over year declines.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the world as we know it. The world of marketing was no different: Our new normal was a challenging one for marketers to navigate. According to one survey from the World Federation of Advertisers, more than 80% of large advertisers deferred their advertising campaigns. And nearly 60% of survey respondents had decreased their budgets “somewhat” or “greatly.” From Airbnb to Coca-Cola and Visa, some of America's most recognizable brands showed that even they were not immune to a pandemic. But it was not the time to give up. Where there is crisis, there is also opportunity. The most innovative, forward-thinking companies still found ways to promote their brands to consumers. Especially because sales representatives had less face time with prospective clients and customers, the onus was on marketers to fill that void and add value. Take your local car dealerships: Due to showroom closures, the traditional salesperson had been replaced by the online marketer, who leveraged email newsletters and social media outreach to reach consumers. Jack Hollis, who markets Toyota cars in North America, said early on in the pandemic, "If you currently have a dealership that's been selling maybe 10% of its sales through an online system, maybe now it goes to a third."

Having worked as the trusted advisor to some of the world's biggest businesses, Haig's mission with this show is to give you access to the mindset and thought processes from some of the world's top leaders to discover what drives these innovative individuals. This week on the show Haig is joined by Jack Hollis - Senior Vice President of Automotive Operations at Toyota. Despite holding a seriously senior role at one of the world's most revered companies, Jack Hollis is quite the opposite of what you might imagine a senior lead of a huge organisation to be. This warm, engaging, energetic and people-orientated veteran of his sector has risen through the ranks of Toyota and is still as passionate about the ‘guest experience' as he ever was. The fit between Jack and Toyota makes a lot of sense when you hear him passionately talk about his own origins as a pro baseball player constantly chasing improvement and the vehicle giant's focus on the Japanese concept of ‘Kaizen' or continuous improvement. In this episode you will learn: Why Jack's biggest focus is on people His passion after almost 30 years in the automotive world Why relationships with manufacturer and dealers is essential How your people can enhance your product The changes coming for transport sector What effect government mandates are having for consumers How the focus of 'car companies' need to shift to providing mobility solutions Predictions of the shared vehicle model As you will hear on this show, Other Side Of The Business Card is a look behind the scenes of how high achievers create and run multi-million-pound companies, what strategies they use to scale businesses and what knowledge and insights allow them to create successes, across all areas of their lives, not just in the boardroom. Having worked across 40+ countries Haig's philosophy is to build passionate partnerships, so expect a deeper level of conversation than you might normally hear from titans of industry, as he uncovers what makes top performers great.
In this episode, we talk to Jack Hollis, Senior Vice President of the Automotive Operations Group at Toyota Motor North America, during the HQ Confidential Program in Plano Texas, where the Japanese manufacturer gave us a glimpse of everything new coming in 2022 and beyond.

Buying a car tends to be a stressful experience... What's the MSRP? How much can you haggle? Do you buy the extended warranty? To lease, or not to lease? Toyota believes these are questions that all customers should be aware of ahead of time to help empower their purchase of a new vehicle. So today, we're speaking with Tracy Kaiser & Susan Gutierrez from Toyota Financial Services, and Jack Hollis & Tim Bliss from Toyota Motor North America, to explore what consumers can do to put some of the car-buying power back in their hands. In addition to our guests' expertise, we're also exploring the new platforms of SmartPath (Toyota) and Monogram (Lexus), which reimagine the car buying experience – putting more of the process into the hands of the consumer and providing new options for a purely online vehicle purchase.

Toyota used the COVID-19 pandemic to learn what it was not doing well, what it is doing well and how it can do better coming out of this. Jack Hollis, Senior Vice President of Automotive Operations at Toyota, takes us through the company’s strategy.

Jack Hollis, automotive operations boss at Toyota Motor North America, explains why September's strong sales results are good for the industry and U.S. economy. Hollis also sees the need for marketing to touch more than a person's mind during tumultuous times.
Part 2 of our conversation with Jack Hollis.
Jack Hollis is group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division at Toyota Motor North America, and in this episode of The Leader’s Panel, he tells us about the importance putting relationships first and focusing on the “human” side of business.
We’d like to kick off Toyota Untold with a statement that may surprise you: Toyota is not a car company (at least, not just a car company). You may be thinking, well, if Toyota isn’t a car company, what is it? So we sat down with few of our friends and colleagues to help answer that question: Jack Hollis, Group Vice President and General Manager, Toyota Division Doug Moore, the Director of Technology for Human Support Dedra DeLilli, Group Manager of Olympic and Paralympic Marketing Team Resources: Subscribe to Toyota Untold: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts Watch: Jack Hollis reveals the 2020 Camry Watch: The Human Support Robot helps a disabled veteran Watch: “Good Odds” Learn more at http://pressroom.toyota.com
Toyota Division general manager Jack Hollis says the upcoming Supra is an 'emotional' addition to the automaker's family. Plus, an industry ‘reality check,’ Olympic opportunities and a Lexus holiday tradition.
This week on “Marketing Today,” Alan talked with Jack Hollis, group vice president and general manager for the Toyota Division at Toyota North America. There he leads all sales, marketing, and market representation as well as guest experience and retention activities for Toyota regional sales offices and distributors. In addition, he retains a role as global marketing advisor for Toyota’s Olympic and Paralympic sponsorships. During the podcast, Hollis talked about the rapid change the automotive category, and Toyota in particular, is seeing and what it means to him. “Toyota is going from an automotive company to what I’m calling ‘the human movement company,’” says Hollis. “And so, the idea of what we want consumers to feel is that we are part of their life, to be part of whatever challenges they may have. And while we can’t necessarily say we’re going to solve every one, we can sure start — we can sure be at the start of that.” Hollis goes on to add, “We want that relationship with individuals to tell us what is it that they could use, what is it they need, and help us challenge our team to solve problems.” Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today” podcast include: Hollis spent time playing minor league baseball before finding a different career path.

Family It's often said that the most important part of human life is family. Despite the fact that you may argue with your father on almost everything or your Aunt Rose still squeezes your checks at 35, being able to gather, celebrate and mourn together is unique to the human existence. Plus, that structure provides a perfect environment, which allows us to learn from one another, perhaps about our heritage or maybe life itself. Of course when it comes to corporations things are a little different to say the least, however, some do embrace the family structure for a variety of reasons. In the automotive industry, for instance, a company like Toyota offers customers three distinct brands that are aimed at different socioeconomic groups. The youngest member of that family, Scion, was created just a few short years ago and provides the entire corporate unit a young and unique set of products and customers. Jack Hollis is in charge of Scion in North America and he joins John McElroy on this week's edition of Autoline Detroit. Mike Ramsey from the Wall Street Journal and Greg Gardner of the Detroit Free Press join in the discussion.
