Toyota boss has a radical solution to catch up to Chinese automakers, which are eating its lunch worldwide. Will it work?
Didnt they pull back from the EV market and switch back to hybrid?
They should get their shit straight first.
If they want market differentiation, make an electric car that’s not spyware on wheels. Quality basic functionality while letting the user turn off all the telemetry and extra bells and whistles they don’t want.

You want marker dominance? Make a cheap EV hatchback.
As I’ve said for a long time, in glad everyone else is buying shit Chinese cars because it will drag the price of property cars down.
Yeah, everyone assumed the Chinese cars were going to be shit, then they actually turned up and western manufacturers made a whoopsie in their pants and have been in a blind panic ever since.
They really want you to keep believing it, though.
LOL. Found the BYD owner.
So it goes proper cars > chinese EVs > rivian then?
That’s not really surprising TBH.
American manufacturers have an abysmal reputation. Only an American would want to drive an American made vehicle.
They’re not shit though
Except in the US where their protectionist policies prevent Chinese cars from being sold and the other car manufacturers can artificially pump up their price to offset their R&D and losses globally.
Remember, it’s only racketeering if it’s not sanctioned by the government.
What’s a “property car”?
Proper car
Do you consider EVs not “proper cars” or just don’t like the chinese ones?
The “Chinese EVs” are winning simply because they’re the only ones fully behind producing EVs. Japan was ahead of the curve with the Toyota Prius, Mistubishi MIEV and Nissan Leaf but rather than capitalize on their early success they decided to stick with outdated fossil fuels because they like the smell and noise..
The Chinese EVs are shipping more units because they’re the cheapest EVs, because the industry is heavily government subsidised.
The 2010 Corolla EV is the best car we never had!
I think they’re still butthurt that Chademo never took off.
