Thoughts on Tesla partnership with Toyota

Topic starter

Hey Scotty and the community,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB7xwiVxl3k Go to 5:13. What do you think of Tesla partnering with Toyota? I think it's a worse relationship than Honda and GM. I kinda doubt Tesla would use Toyota's future solid state battery with Tesla's car body. I think they're doing it the other way around. Not a big fan of Tesla

That would not be the first time:  

(Back in 2010)

(2nd generation RAV4 EV - MY2012 to 2014 -was the result of Toyota/Tesla partnership)

I picked all three options because I have no clue what its going to be like. If they do it correcly and the engineers use their brains then you might have a technologically advanced, well engineered EV. On the other hand, Elon is powerful and if the cars are made at Tesla plants then quality control would be horrible. One things for sure, I'm not buying one.

There's rumors online that Toyota is "considering" working with Tesla again. At this point, that's all it us: Conjecture, rumor. My take is they are incompatible cultures. (The first collaboration ended poorly, with little to show).

One thing is guaranteed ... they will be very ugly


Uuuuuggggg


@Kerem They should put a Toyota Logo and remove it so it looks like a T lol.


@alvin
They removed the Toyota sign and put "Toyota EV" instead. I assume Tesla didn't want the Toyota logo as the whole powertrain is theirs and Mr. Musk isn't a fan of the given.


One things for sure, its ugly, and dealers still want $15,000 for them ??? I guess limited production makes them special.


@Kerem Probably they think it's a collector's item lol.
