      It’s not Toyota making the claim this time, it may not be bullshit for once.

          At least Tesla actually make batteries, all Toyota ever do is just claim that the future is some other technology that they are developing. Usually it’s one that makes absolutely no logical sense.

          Normally they go on about hydrogen power cells, which have never worked properly.

          Nope, Toyota.

          Since 2008 they’ve been trotting out a story annually that their amazing solid state batteries are only 2-3 years away.

          They’ll revolutionise EVs, so there’s no point buying one now. It’ll be a worthless dead end.

          Buy a proven Toyota hybrid instead to tide you over.
