They might as well not have. It’s such an embarrassingly bad vehicle that it does nothing for their bottom-line, while costing them in brand reputation.
Because they are holding out for better battery tech. Ssd battery that can have range of 700+ miles with 10-30min charge. Toyota doesnt fall into “latest is greatest” bullshit. They adopt well researched and refined tech only.
Toyota thinks EV demand is low because demand for Toyota’s shitty EVs is low.
Toyota has EV?

In 2012 Toyota claimed their solid-state batteries were coming in 2017.
In 2017 they claimed they were coming in 2020.
In 2020 they claimed they were coming in 2023.
In 2023 they claimed they were coming in 2027.
I wonder what will happen in 2027?
Like hydrogen?
Toyota just announced that in 2030 they will have enough solid state batteries for about 10,000 cars.
It’s just not a serious plan.
