Fun in theory. Excuse me if I'm pessimistic about seeing these in any meaningful time frame. I can't be excited that they're going to have an EV Camry with 200 miles in 2030 or whatever. That many models and all, looks more like a wish list than product announcements.
I don’t disagree with the pessimism and one could certainly question their motives but I expect some decent product out of Toyota. I don’t think any of the models they shared had actual pictures of cars so the wish list comment is correct. The point I wanted to make is that competition is good. Tesla created the market for EV and established what it takes to be a player and others joining in only validates that market.
I do agree in the sense that if Toyota actually put their efforts into an EV it can be a great vehicle. I'm just not convinced that they're doing this yet. I hope they are. Competition is great for consumers.
I disagree. It might be accurate to state these these press releases are always subject to change and almost always do change. Anyway this is a continuation of earlier announcements and I’m eagerly waiting to see more. Not because I’m a Toyota fan but because I’m an EV fan and more product creates more excitement. I want to see manufacturers trying different things like Tesla’s falcon wing doors or Rivian’s gear tunnel. The platform of an EV opens up a world of innovation possibilities.
