Time Magazine has released their list of the 100 most influential companies. Several automakers made the list including BYD, BMW, and Toyota. VinFast also appeared, despite being as influential as a washed up Vine star. When you think about influential automakers, what companies spring to mind? Ford, General Motors, Tesla or Lucid? Those would all be pretty good choices, but none of them made the list of Time’s 100 Most Influential Companies.
Sales are also said to be laughable and the company is rumored to be considering plans to delay production at a plant in North Carolina. The other automakers on the list make more sense as they include BYD, BMW, and Toyota. Tata and Xiaomi are also there, but the magazine didn’t even mention Tata Motors or Jaguar Land Rover. Instead, the Tata blurb focused on iPhone assembly in India as well as AI hype. Besides automakers, the list includes Waymo and Amazon, which owns Zoox.
