Oh my! You are so right! Why didn’t I see that!

Good old time traveling Toyota! 😜 😂

So what you’re saying is that Leonardo Da Vinci used to work for Good Old Toyota and gave them the concept of mobility? 🤪

Mobility was a vision shared by many scientists going back hundreds of years all the way back to some of Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings. Real work began on mobility somewhere around the late 1800s. Interestingly some of the first vehicles worked on were hydrogen combustion engines (something so old, yet Toyota is now working on it and it’s fanboys are signing it’s phrases) and electric powered. Fossils fuels came later. Some very early designed were steam powered, coal gas powered and one internal combustion design was even powered by gunpowder. 😱😵

But long story short Carl Benz gave us the first true car, Henry Ford commercialized it bringing it to the masses and the history of the car started in earnest. With the Japs coming in some where around the mid of the 19th century. They did innovate and made it available cheaply to many. But now with the paradigm again shifting, their future is as yet unclear. All-be-it looking quite shaky at this point.

That is true. 😁

They probably chose to partner with Honda because it’s the one Japanese car company that’s the least stubborn towards EVs 😛 Toyota would’ve probably given them a minimum 5 years wait time with a lease system instead 😅

Dude!! The EV race is passing you by. EV companies are every year improving themselves and coming up with new vehicles. Compared to them these guys will find themselves sitting still. Get it into gear. Get a move on! It’s not like Honda can’t do anything or has no experience. Unlike Toyota, Honda has had a very good hit with it’s small hatchback EV the Honda e. Use that and move forward! Japs are just finding ways to delay things as usual.

Both companies here have experience and manufacturing capabilities and have made EVs. Just get that into gear and fast track. Three years from now is just too long in this fast paced game.
