Compared to everything else on the market it had big problems with reliability, range, charging speed, and it was overpriced.
I think everyone expected that Toyota, with its hybrid experience and the benefits of seeing all other EVs on the market wouldn’t make such a poor attempt. It felt like they were poisoning the well, as if not wanting to compete in the EV space in the first place.
Toyota is way too conservative. After nailing hybrid tech early on, it seems like they wasted the opportunity to put it on every vehicle they make which would have been such an amazing step forward, instead of treating it as a weird niche for so long.
Also that bz4x or whatever deserves a spot on the worst cars of all time list, just straight up ewaste.
I have a lack on wheels with rack servers at the bottom and a enclosed prusa 3D printer on top, is great, haha.
No joke, this is exactly why I cancelled Spotify and went back to piracy!
They “”accidentally“” started playing ads one night, didn’t apologize or offer any refunds, and it was the easiest decision ever to dust off my pirate hat and not look back.
No regrets!
This seems like a bad, revisionist take. France kick started Israel’s nuke program, and they tested their stuff with South Africa.
During the development of their program, I don’t think the US and Israel were even on good terms.
