We may witness another BlackBerry
At this pont, who cares? This is like Blackberry announcing they’ve cracked the ultimate touch screen technology in 2005.
Why do people still listen to Toyota’s battery plans? They are not on the leading edge of technology. Go talk to CATL if you want to know what the next Big Thing in battery tech is going to be.
Gotta save money for that anti-climate and crazy right-wing donations…Toyota, you suck.
It’s like watching blockbuster with extra stupid
Interestingly realistic numbers, but that definitely puts plans in perspective.
It’s pretty clear that solid state is Toyota’s end goal, but they have been overly optimistic about it’s actual manufacturability.
This really doesn’t matter as long as they continue to develop other battery products and don’t focus of this 1 technology.
So in 7 years they’ll produce a week or two’s worth of production. Exciting. They should hit full scale by 2130.
Toyota SSBs press seems more designed around inducing an Osborne effect to limit current BEV demand to support hybrid sales.
I believe when I see it Toyota. Potential Blockbuster store in automotive industry.
Toyota won’t be around in 2030 (hopefully).
Toyota’s revenue is up 24% year on year.
And with the EV transition still struggling at the moment with high prices it’s likely that hybrid cars will be popular for at least the next two decades.
Meanwhile, CATL: in 2030, we’ll make enough structural batteries with over 500 Wh/kg density to power every new car, truck, boat and plane on the planet.
That’s why Toyota is freaking out.
Every year batteries are getting cheaper and better
Toyota lied about solid state batteries for 2 decades now. Why would anyone believe them at this point? Except those paid to pretend they do, ofc?
They won’t. They’ll be scrambling just to make normal BEVs profitability.
toyota’s track record with ICE & hybrid vehicles is solid, but they’ve got a lot to learn about EVs. it’s gonna be a bumpy ride before they catch up.
🤣
