Toyoda has always developed the most efficient cars in the industry, and brought the first hybrid to market in 1997.
EVs are selling better, but not better than ICE. Not even close.
Akio Toyoda is not Elon Musk, his company needs to make money selling cars, not flimsy unreliable EVs running mostly on bullshit.
Big picture, Akio Toyoda will be far greener than Elon Musk, and Tesla won’t be making cars in two years.
Which EVs are “flimsy” and unreliable?
Yeah Tesla’s might be put together poorly, but there are so many good options nowadays. Combustion engines are vastly more complicated than electric motors, batteries do complicate things a bit, but industry has gotten phenomenally good at packaging li-ion batteries, or newer chemistries.
OP’s comment has strong “Back in my day cars were made of steel and would crush the passengers like a tin can instead of just crumple breaking apart the outer shell” Energy.
Modern ICE are so complex to make them efficient. Dozens of computers and sensors that will fail over time and impossible to trouble shoot without very expensive proprietary software. Not to mention manufacturers lie about their efficiency by programming the computers to fool emission tests.
Wow. Typical Lemmy opinions about cars.

So flimsy and unreliable that my past year with one confirms I’ll never go back to gas. It also helped with the power outage yesterday.
Would like to learn how to cut it from the internet though.
