If I were looking for a reliable everyday driver for under 13k, then NP. A museum piece or collector car, then ND.

5th gear- Don’t hold your breath waiting for the flying taxi thing to become a reality. I’m an old man still waiting for my nuclear-powered flying car promised in the 1950's. All we got was a cartoon called The Jetsons.

Toyota seems like the most practical car company on earth. It’s obvious it will be difficult, if not impossible to mine enough rare earth materials in the next ten years, not to mention increasing our grid capacity to meet the demand for electric vehicles. Full electric is still ten plus years away. Hybrids sure sound…

There is still a lot of range anxiety when it comes to full size trucks and towing. Eventually, BEV’s will win, not because they’re “greener” but simply because it’s just better technology. As with any new technology, first are early adopters, then prevalent for the wealthy, and finally as the price comes down,…

You are definitely paranoid unless you have other severe health issues.

Because it is over. Only paranoid people believe it’s still a thing.

Neutral: Despite the superior technology of BEVs these goals of 2035 are definitely overly ambitious. It will take at least a decade to get approvals for new lithium mines, and another decade to upgrade the grid. During a recent heatwave here in California our governor Newsome went on the news and begged people not to…

Sorry I missed that one. Mine would be WINDSHIELD WIPERS! Hear me out. I’m an old, retired man living in the desert. If I need to go somewhere on a rainy day, I just wait a couple of hours. All wipers do is get baked onto your windshield until you scrape them off.

I’m all for electric vehicles. They’ll win because they are better. What’s not being talked about much is how the grid is going to support it. Here, in California, we are having troubles keeping up with current demand. Our electric rates are the highest in the nation already. The poor and working class will get no…

High speed rail here in California is a massive boondoggle that will never even break even let alone be used by the public masses. Seems like the federal government is willing to waste billions on it too. I say, stop the farce now and get started on a water conveyance from the Mississippi, or Eastern Texas. The way to…

Sorry guy. Sure, we’ll die off soon enough, but there still won’t be enough supply. Us boomers have always been ones to say “sure, you can build affordable housing, but not here”. We can’t go to a smaller house because we said no to building smaller homes for decades.

My feelings exactly. And we need to make sure all these rich people buying EV’s pay their fair share in road taxes too.

Normally, I would say no dice to such an old vehicle. But if you need a clean daily driver family car, then this is the one. Nice Price

Now that you mention it, I can’t unsee that.

The EV tax credit is ludicrous, giving rich people money to buy cars, then exempting them from paying anything to finance transportation (like gas taxes).

Besides the cost and being a homeowner, I just don’t have the solar capacity to charge the car. It would take $30,000 dollars to upgrade the system, or $200,000 to bring grid electrical power to my house.

Toyota is not an anti EV company at this point. It is, and always has been, a profitable automaker which makes reliable cars that people want. You can bet that when EV’s become mainstream Toyota will be a significant player.

I don’t see why anyone would buy a car that ugly. No dice.

Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Lincoln. In the US anyway.
