Nice that Toyota is showing Tesla that a Yoke doesn’t need to look like absolute garbage.

I guess they are so committed to BEVs that they just gave it a part number vs a name.

Yet another fugly Toyota design. Can’t wait to see the Lexus maw (aka grill) grafted on!

And Model S, Model Y, Model 3, and Model X are such compelling names...
The industry is filled with alphabet soup naming conventions - Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and more say hi!
This isn't exactly an EV only thing.

Yes that’s not bad looking.

I like the solar roof option. We know solar panels can't help with range much, but I just think it's neat and leans into the EV-ness. It also might have some value for people that don't drive a ton or frequently leave their vehicle for a week to travel or something.

This will also be available as the Subaru Solterra with slightly different styling (full reveal Nov 11th)

You mean Toyota is going to make a car for Subaru that they will rebrand? That seems unusual.

Toyota owns ~20% of Subaru. Subaru 4WD technology is what Toyota was after and they are using it in this offering (as well as the 4WD Prius and others)

Toyota makes vehicles in partnership with BMW, Daihatsu, Hino, Mazda and Subaru (BRZ/Toyota 86). Nothing unusual in this arrangement with Subaru.

This will sell really quick if the price is within Toyota prices and not over 50k.

I am more interested in the Subaru offering. It is likely to have slightly higher ground clearance / a more light off-roading friendly setup. That said, the specs are nothing groundbreaking.

Yes I second that. Love the wife’s cross trek .

Toyota: "We're completely against BEVs! ... btw, here's our BEV!"

I"m getting a little tired of Toyota's hypocrisy here.
