Toyota makes mass produced cars. It makes more cars in a month than Tesla does all year. Sure Tesla has done quite well, but EVs aren't really mainstream. When its mainstream and the technology settles down Toyota will be there.
In the meantime the waiting lists for Toyota Hybrids are some of the longest in the industry - they're what people really want.
- jacquesm 3y agoI wasn't comparing to Tesla per se but to the market in general and the fact that Toyota has some BEVs out but not in quantity (~2% of their sales) compared to other operators (for instance, VW: 7%) that sell both ICE and BEVs. Tesla and VW BEVs are a dime a dozen around here, I've seen a handful of Toyota's (mostly delivery vans). They also seem to have been stuck for a long time on the 'hydrogen is the future' bandwagon.
