Toyota broke ground in San Antonio more than two decades ago, in 2003, not one. Georgetown KY has been around since 1986 and Princeton IN since 1996. Toyota has been investing in “low cost of living” states for a very long time.

I tried to get the advertised “10G” internet when it was first announced. Their website said it was available, so I called to have it set up. They “put in a ticket for [me]” and I didn’t hear back for a month. I called, they said they’d rou
