They were right all along, while others jumped into this EV nonsense. Now they are showing record losses, Porsches and Mercedez are panicking and saying they will build hybrids, good luck competing with Toyota and Lexus hybrids 😆 I remember Tesla fanboys used to say that Toyota will be the next Nokia.
Guys, not many people like stupid electric cars, companies need to realize that

It will be interesting to see how the new Jeep Cherokee hybrid performs. Someone will have to tell me though!

I don't hate EVs, I love cars in general, but currently I would only have one as a commuter, and they are too busy trying to make luxury cars that are all overpriced for a decent commuter car.

Guys, a few months back a coworker friend of mine was buying a RAV4 so we test drove the hybrid one. Forget about the engine shutting off at stoplight, the engine shut off at 70 mph 🤯🤯🤯 That's how you get 45 MPG from that thing. 0W-8 must be for the engine shutting off on the highway trick, no?

Also, in his latest review, Car Care Nut is very happy with Subaru for not wasting time and resources and simply copying and pasting Toyota hybrid system 😃

Have you driven a decent EV? It'll be "a while" before I'd buy one, but damn, the performance is insane.
I drove one and that braking behavior of it made me dislike it. Taking your foot off of gas pedal is like slamming the brakes

I would love to experience that power coming out of a V10 Viper.

You can usually adjust the severity of the regen braking, or turn one pedal driving off.
