Classic Mr toyota
Are the Japanese collaborating with the Nazis again?
I’d rather go with, “Japan is collaborating with Nazis” than put it on the Japanese.
But yeah I wouldn’t put it past them.
Scratching their new EV off my list…
They’re all in on hybrid, and hydrogen never took off, so they need to keep fossil fuels going. Also, millions of Americans buy their cars. No CEOof a major corp is going to lose market share because it’s the right thing to do. If so, they’d no longer be that company’s CEO.
That’s it, I’m never buying a Toyota.
Oh wait, I can’t afford a car anyway.
tbf i understand why they’re upset
they spent the last 100 years making the perfect anal rod that goes in the engine ball bearing, and it’s amazing, reliable, only needs a change every 10 years, classic toyota
but ev’s don’t have one so that knowledge on how to make the perfect anal rod is worthless
ultimately the difference in reliability between an ev and a toyota isn’t really that far apart, and once people catch on unless toyota innovates they’re living out their kodak days right now imo

Toyota sold hybrids in 1997. A decade before anyone else. Then Plugin hybrids. Billions of gallons of oil saved.
They aren’t Tesla, they actually have to sell cars to make money. Toyota CEO was heavily criticized for avoiding EVs, but all Detroit auto makers have pissed away billions on EVs no one bought. Y’all talk about making EVs, but you don’t actually buy them. He stuck to hybrids and Toyota sales are highest on hybrids, and yet he was forced to resign because of investor pressure because they thought EVs were the future 5 years ago and Elon Musk was a Jeanius: that never happened.
Late 2026, Toyota will be selling EVs with solid state batteries, way before Tesla and most EV manufacturers. Spoiler alert: they won’t break every month or fry children alive with hidden door locks and fake FSD.
A CEO has to placate MAGA because his job is to sell cars in the USA, and Toyota has been the only Japanese carmaker in NASCAR. They sell to rednecks. So playing up to a demented man child a country elected, twice, is what he has to do.
They don’t just placate MAGA. The Toyota PAC spends money to support MAGA candidates.
They spend on each, but generally more to Republicans.

Now do all the other automakers. I bet the results will look the same.
Well, as long as everyone is being shitty, I guess we shouldn’t mention how they’re shitty. Except apparently some aren’t.
Honda has a policy of not making political donations.
I thought this was leading up to some dick joke lol, I’m sure they have done a lot more work than just some specific rod that makes their cars a good value for customers, also most vehicles on the road all over that world are ICE, EV adoption is not gonna suddenly go up overnight as it needs a large charging network to function and governments would not allow the pandemonium of the value of oil suddenly dipping considering all theve done to get that oil, so they have enough time to work on designing their own EV lineup of cars
