OK! Toyota is ready to fight!👍🏿

Everyone looks at the number of cars that are sold in China each year, and begins to salivate. Their eyes turn to dollar signs!🤑

Then they get in market, and realize how much quality and value you need to pack into a tiny price.🤯

It's harder than spaceflight!

You can't just sell someone a basic, mid-level car for $60,000, and then expect them to put $5 a gallon gas in it every month. That only works on Americans that don't know any better.🤡

You have to sell someone a great car that they never have to put gas in, and that only costs $18,000.

@mekkaokereke Toyota makes a great car. I've had a Prius PEV rental for the last three weeks, and it's even more fun to drive than my OG Prius. And here we are in a stupid war with another petrostate after watching the federal government spend all of 2025 nerfing fossil fuel alternatives. Fuuuuuu
