Toyota's chairman, who's long resisted EV hype despite pressure, is feeling vindicated, with hybrid sales surging this year.

    Toyota sales fell, BEV sales went up. Someone’s lying.

      Isn’t the Toyota sales directly related to production though? Like they literally can’t produce enough to meet demand? I thought that was why Toyota and a few other brands (I think Honda was another) are still struggling with inventory.

        Yea they going to have a record year. Sales are not falling at all and the sky isn’t falling. They’re not phasing out “like blackberry”

      Toyota is going to have a record year in sales and will be the largest automotive manufacturer again. It isn’t even going to be close. They’ve been number 1 in the last 4/5 out of the last 5/6 years.
