Hi friends.Thanks for watching!
this video just goes to show how greedy certain people are . lots of good poor people that need a vehicle and yet certain people wont donate the vehicles and would rather just let them rust away . most people are greedy in one way or another . greedy people are bad people . bad people need to stop breathing now .
the amount of money most companies make in one day would be enough for me to live the rest of my life in comfort .
Its A Nuclear END One Way Or The Other U Know
Many industries are failing, but everything is being covered up…..?
This is total bullshit. It takes about 2 minutes of research find this out. The guy who made this video is either an idiot or just wants to trash the auto industry.
I deliver & collect cars for a major auction company in the UK and have visited some of these storage areas and seen this for myself. The video is accurate, hundreds of unsold cars (and commercial vehicles) lined up waiting to go to dealerships and also a lot of these compounds store used vehicles. Leasing companies change customers cars every two or three years and these cars end up being stored in compounds while waiting to be resold at auction or to used car dealers.
How car I get some to buy
Cool
Can we steal any?
Well as long as someone paid for the car, it wasn’t a waste. It was the buyer’s loss if they didn’t end up using the car.
I had the opportunity to work at VCV (Victorville, CA, USA). The aircraft are not abandoned. They are stored and preserved. They are owned by major airlines who use many of these planes for parts to maintain their current fleet in service. Several of the aircraft in storage are regenerated and brought back into service if they have plenty of life in them. Aircraft get bought and sold all the time by different airlines for various uses. Not all planes sit there awaiting to be scrapped. Same thing goes for Davis Monthan, AFB in Tucson, AZ, USA. The Air Force continuously uses the facility for parts and regeneration of aircraft.
Also, Volkswagen stores many of their recalled vehicles next to Victorville’s Logistics Airport.
Yeah, aircraft occasionally is being sent for storage, however, unlike the cars mentioned in the video, most planes that get scrapped are usually 20+ years old.
YIGIT Animations usually. Yes many scrapped planes are 20+. However, it really just comes down to the airframe time and the structural integrity of the airframe. You can have a 20+ airframe with low time being brought back into service and at the same time you can have an airframe that’s less than 20 years old being scrapped for various reasons. You did make a good point though.
I owned many cars since passing my test at 17. A few years ago I chose to sell my reasonably new car and use public transport as I was sick and tired of sitting in traffic and having to pay more and more for fuel, car tax, and insurance just for the privilege of sitting nose to tail in traffic while the condition of roads got worse and worse.
By the way, the place you show in Upper Heyford used for storing cars now, used to be an American Airforce Base in Oxfordshire where you could visit. It was basically just like a small American town smack bang in the middle of England with American shops and cars, even using American currency on the basis.
That was until the American Airforce pulled out now it is used for storing cars on the runway and some small businesses in the disused Airforce buildings.
Wow
Like a movie set. Repurpose of land and facilities. A victim of cold war
I think it would be cool to include unsold car parks like these in a game like Grand Theft Auto, I think.
In real life, though, perhaps these cars could be put into protected buildings, then sold after a very long time, maybe 20 years. That way, maybe in the future, people could get vintage cars in perfect condition. There are videos of people opening brand new IBM PCs today, so maybe the same could occur with cars, or maybe the cars could be used as movie props.
Or the auto companies could just sell them at a discount immediately, regardless of potential profits not made. That would be my preferred solution.
I recognize some of the places in this video.
The aircraft east of Bakersfield California is actually in Mojave and are being refurbished inside and or outside. They get new interior, paint, and engine work and then put back in service.
Some of the car storage is actually holding yards, cars waiting for shipment. And then you have large storage yards filled with cars that haven’t been released by the manufacturers yet because of unveiling dates have yet to come and they are simply being positioned around the country at rail yards and are ready for trucking to dealerships. Then there are those that are getting modifications done and are waiting their turn to get specific tires, wheels, bumpers, or anyother modification a customer may want. Why do this, because its cheaper than the dealers doing it and the manufacturer has a contract with the company’s involved so that its quicker and cheaper for them.
As far as I know, no one is working out in the desert dumping grounds, putting on special equipment or anything else. There are no facilities to house tools, material or support crews. They are essentially graveyards for overproduction, until the industry can find some way to recoup some of their losses. If you look at the aerials, there are no equipment sheds or any sign that work is being done on “vehicles waiting to be shipped to dealers.” Some of these vehicles are from 2019 model year, so they can’t all be parked awaiting an “unveiling date.” That has come and gone for 2019, 2020 models and there won’t be any holdings of 2021s either, because most factories shut down as the pandemic regulations took effect. If plants open this Fall, those vehicles will really be 2022s, since new models customarily intro in August or September. We will have lost a model year, because of the shut-down,
This is a monstrous idea. The problem can be solved by not producing as much and hitching the production to demand
I worked for a car manufacturer. We only made cars that dealers ordered. Well mostly we did. Volumes were flexed to meet demand. Shifts and hours were added or subtracted to meet demand. The storage yard we had, needed to have a thousands cars in it, to meet the supply chain requirements.
If production stops, people lose their jobs, dependent material and parts providers go out of business, causing more unemployment and, effectively, new car purchase potential drops, sales drop and, eventually, the manufacturer itself goes out of business.
We bought a brand new Subaru Legacy that must have been stored outside for a long time. The new battery had to be replaced, the batteries in the tire pressure devices died prematurely, and there were some “paint” issues where we had to clay bar the entire car to get the paint smooth. There were 76 miles on the odometer.
Thanks for making this video. It is thought provoking. In that case, the same problem occurs in every single manufacturing Industry, from clothing, toys to fridges etc. There got to be tons of stuff that are being manufactured each day but will never find a buyer.
Sad for all the poor folk who could use stuff.
Twelve years back I was security manager at a Ford car storage in Australia. Our neighbour too was a car storage yard. We had an electric fence. They did not. We stoored 3500 cars, same as them. We had no problems but they had lots. Some models were stored 3 years, then sold.
It’s really crazy because I actually live close by the car cemetery in Maryland and the cars that are currently there are brand new like 2018 to 2021 huyndais , Honda’s, Toyotas. It’s insane I kinda feel like stealing one.
Are there still a bunch of cars there now?
You can they would not notice.
did you? haha whats 1 to them
No you don’t because it doesn’t exist.
@kerplunk it does exist
They need to make a new model every 10 years, not every year.
In the past were times when people had to wait in line to order a car.
There is, as we speak, millions of unsold cars and the market are bombarded with new ones coming in. In the past car makers produced on an “as ordered basis”, and consumers used to line up to place orders. Nowadays, the slogan will be the “pizza place” style: “Buy One, Get One Free”. The days you visit the coffee shop for donuts and coffee have replaced the dealership. They have every variety of coffee imaginable, from espresso to cappuccino including cold sandwiches. There is no shortage of car dealerships in any city, in fact, new car dealers are popping out like mushrooms everywhere. Another disaster is approaching at fast speed: China’s electric cars are joining the wild mushrooms as millions of them are currently in production and additional millions in the process of being manufactured. Another funny situation, the remote starter starts not only your own car but a group of cars in the same parking lot, all at once; and all cars’ lights start flashing like Christmas trees. Cars keep getting smaller and further smaller with lower roofs. This is unreal! You got to be short and petite to fit into these cars. God forbid, you get into an accident, you’re really screwed, they have to cut off your legs to get you out, What a disastrous situation! There is in some areas flea markets or farmers markets, soon we will see (Cars flee markers). In another video comments section, someone wrote, sent them to the third world countries who don’t manufacture cars like the USA OR CANADA. How the people around the word learn so fast that the general motors, close down in Oshawa Ontario or other cars manufactures in us like Detroit, Ohio, Michigan, Oakville, Maryland, and many more which some of them move to Mexico. in the meantime the 2019 General Motors strike with the walkout of 48,000 United Automobile Workers from some 50 plants in the United States Demands by workers included increased job security, gateway for temporary workers to become permanent, better pay and retaining healthcare benefits. in the meantime, the U.S. automotive industry is facing incredibly fierce global competition from other car companies, such as Toyota, Volkswagen, Honda and a host of other car manufacturers, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Isuzu, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Mitsuoka, Audi, Porsche, Alpine, Fiat, Dacia, Moskvitch, You-Mobile, Advanced Automotive, CT&T United, Volvo, and thousands more. Go to automobile manufacturers around the world on Wikipedia. Global auto manufacturers flock to Mexico and other emerging countries due to their cost advantage Hourly wages like Brazil, China, India, Pakistan, etc. are much lower than in developed countries. Mexico has many advantages for auto manufacturing due to many factors including the cheap labor, railroad, and road transport links and close proximity to the US. The story about the car overproduction is not ending here, however, in another comment, someone suggested that the US government bay all the exes inventory and sales for $ 1 to the homeless people with first in line all war veterans who starving to death and sleeping on the street all over America.
This was prophecied by some dude in the 70’s, Alvin Toffler perhaps. He said that more cars will be made than will find buyers. His idea was that a percentage of cars which rolled out of the factory would immediately by driven round the back and tipped into the foundry furnaces to be remade anew. The production staff weren’t told which ones would be sent out to the dealers and which would be driven round the back. So, they had to put the same quality care into making every car down the line. An interesting idea which seems to be coming true…
While I can’t speak for other sites, the Nissan site you showed(road sign cherry blossom way) is the main holding area for the cars when they are made in the UK factory. These cars tend not to stay in that site for long before being transported the car ferry facility a few miles away. I work in one of The Nissan factories, so I see these cars being moved on a daily basis. The car storage areas always look full, but they are constantly being emptied and replenished.
And would they offer a heavy discount on these items just to move them? Hardly, they would rather crush them then give Joe Public any form of break!
It’s the same with food. All nearly expired food or unsold food is thrown in bins when some families sleep without food. That’s the world we leave in
Some of these places that are meant to be storage yards of carmakers are actually private storage yards. Places where a car can be parked-up, paid-for by individuals, car rental companies, insurance companies, or cars that are “company cars”
Damn I wish I could take one. It just shows that they can sell the cars a lot less if they did not over build them like this.
That’s not true. If they sold cars for less it would start a very scary chain reaction and lead to a pretty messy collapse in the market. The government and banks wouldn’t allow it
Are thesebso called grave yards still out there during Covid19? We have seen a soar in used vehicle prices these days in the UK, as many car manufacturers have seen a shortage of materials supply to make brand new cars these days. Would car manufacturers sell these once unsold vehicles at a fractioned price to those who wishes to buy new second hand cars?
I did security at a tiny yard in Australia. We had several thousand cars with New Zealand’s Galligar, electric fencing. One was driven out through the fence. It was built to beep people out, not cars in.
