Toyota sets April global output record as pandemic impact recedes

Hurry up! All the other makers are leaving you behind! Still can’t get a new Toyota in Australia under 3 months! Tooooo longggggg!

With a years wait for your car like my boss, by the time he gets it’ll be superseeded ? No interest if I have to wait, I could pass away while waiting then what?

They are saying over here in the news that Tesla now has the best selling car model on the planet, eclipsing Toyota. I think an opportunity to explode into the EV market was lost when Toyota did not quickly enough, and broadly enough, offer an EV model of the Prius.

Yeah, Toyota, according to the "specialists" commenting here has a very bad product, not attractive enough for customers. Yet the facts in front of their eyes say otherwise: Toyota is by very far the best selling brand, customers willing to wait even more than a year for a vehicle and not going to its competitors.

We're waiting for the global economy to get back to normal now that China is starting to behave more sanely while Russia drifts further into irrelevance.

Yup people don't want stupid EVs. Willing to wait to get a Japanese car, most of which are still not EV.

Meanwhile the EU is probably going to be reversing decision go ban combustion engine cars by 2035. German pressure, Siting lack of charging infrastructure etc. Reality is demand is tanking and surveys show people want a traditional car.

Battery anxiety is real. We have real incompetent leaders (unelected in the case of the EU).
