There's no choice, just the Model Y unless Mach-E is something you would slot inI mean Macan just got delayed, it is not a choice yet either.

Most likely.I think there is a drastic language/culture barrier with what Japanese corporations say and what they mean versus what western "journalists" hear.
I agree, I've noticed a ton of weird mistranslations from past articles that don't even convey what the original message was. Similar I've noticed happens with German interviews covered by US media.I think there is a drastic language/culture barrier with what Japanese corporations say and what they mean versus what western "journalists" hear.
And Tesla just did about 5-10% price reduction in China.But this time I don't think they're that far from truth...
Just take a look to the UX300e, bZ4X and RZ450e:
1) More expensive than the competition
2) Fast charging takes longer than competition
3) Less power than competition
4) Less range than competition
If we compared them to Tesla... It's even worse...

Europe-focused Lexus UX 300e gets bigger battery, more range
With a larger 72.8-kwh battery pack the electric UX now tops 200 miles of range. Don't look for it in America anytime soon though.www.greencarreports.com
How much business does Toyota have in the EU that in can afford to stand pat? When I was there in 2019, the only Toyota I saw available for rent was the CHR Hybrid. I was looking for passenger vehicles, not cargo van though.This facelift further solidifies what I'm saying... They kept CHAdeMo fast charging for Europe!
They only solve one issue, all the others seems to remain...
Look at Mercedes, the EQA is so much better and cheaper...
Look at BMW, the iX1 is so much better and cheaper...
Look at Volvo, the XC40 Recharge is so much better and cheaper...
Look at Tesla, they changed to CCS2 in Europe and gave costumers a solution to retrofit older cars... I don't like Tesla as a car or a brand but they're definitely doing a lot of things right on the BEV powertrain.
They are maybe all better than Lexus, but still all worse than eqivalent ICEVs for the time being. Good BEVs are not yet on the market. We are yet in the early stages of BEV development. Yes, Toyota's ICEV/BEV timeline is too extended, but the other Tesla/BEV fans timeline way is too short; according to them and the end of 2022 already 50% of cars were to be BEV, and 100% in 2025. Nonsense!This facelift further solidifies what I'm saying... They kept CHAdeMo fast charging for Europe!

I'm holding out for nicer BEVs haha.They are maybe all better than Lexus, but still all worse than eqivalent ICEVs for the time being. Good BEVs are not yet on the market.

Same here. Before getting a BEV, there are so many other cars I wish to have and truly plan on having, GR86 is on the top of my list. Daily BEV can wait.I'm holding out for nicer BEVs haha.
'11 Accord and '12 CT200h will likely last most of the Teslas built this year and prior. I'm paying for gasoline. They will pay for repairs and parts, including battery eventually.
Even if I have started a new job with 70km one-way commutes (three times a week), I won't be driving my wife's Macan EV in 2026/26 just to save on fuel. It will be an utter waste of an entry luxury BEV crossover.Same here. Before getting a BEV, there are so many other cars I wish to have and truly plan on having, GR86 is on the top of my list.

I don't see them eating humble pie. There is a lot of manipulation and uncertainty. If TMC made mistakes, some others car makers just acted without knowledge/thinking; at the moment it looks like the right thing to do, but only time will tell.Time for them to eat the humble pie.
