Every manufacturer has got a story at this point.

As someone who used to be a stalwart fan of Toyota, their behaviour recently is not my favorite.

Not to mention campaigning hard against EVs, complete with anti-EV propaganda in the form of kids' stories distributed to schools: https://electrek.co/2021/11/11/how-toyota-sneakily-spreads-a...

They can campaign against EVs, and their propaganda isn't any worse than the pro-EV propaganda that's circled around, most of which ignore very inconvenient facts around the cost-value of EVs. Given that, I have no problem with Toyota being anti-EVs and handing out information on why they are.
