One more thing to add, EV automobiles sales in Europe, Asia, the U.S., South America, Russia, the Middle East, and China are surging and having a major impact on combustion engine sales. Honda, VW and Toyota sales in these areas are suffering, Honda lost 30% of its market share in China, Toyota lost 13%, VW lost 24% from 2019. Suzuki closed it's production in Thailand.

This is not a joke any more, EV is the future and customers are grapping them.

EV have so many problems. They take way more energy to produce than conventional vehicles, they are heavier - more damaging to roadways and in accidents, and the batteries lose much of their capacity in four or five years. They perform poorly in cold weather, and are prone to combusting suddenly. Disposing of highly toxic batteries is another problem.

Total lies. Output is down because sales atr down and nobody outside Japan ever heard of the scandal

It is probably a late night at Toyota HQ as Robby Starbuck has targeted Toyota America. Toyota America will follow his other targets and change their DIE policies or sales will collapse in America.
