#152I think Toyota will be successful with the production of solid state batteries but the article does not appear to offer new information. Only that there are delays, but progress is still continuing.

#153I'll believe it when I see it. There seems to be a lot of noise, confusion and FUD coming from Toyota lately.
> There seems to be a lot of noise, confusion and FUD coming from Toyota lately. Not really? The old CEO with his irrational hate of all-electric cars left, and Toyota is now free to catch up with the rest of the industry. And the best way to catch up has always been to leapfrog a tech generation ahead, rather than trying to copy what the competition designed last year.

>If the Japanese automaker does decide to put it into a production car, don't expect it to arrive on the scene until sometime after 2015.
Re: Toyota’s advanced battery technology roadmap
#155Hasn't Toyota made largely similar claims just about every year or so? Why do we believe this time is different?
They only started in 2009.

Is it not? It's coming soon after 2015 https://www.drive.com.au/news/toyota-develops-more-efficient...

That quote is not in that article, which is from 2017. Did you mean to link to something else?

I’m seeing an article written in 2009 that includes his quote.

That article is from 2009 about Toyota announcing a 10x lithium ion wonder-battery due in ~2015. That didn't happen. Now, in 2023, Toyota promises a solid-state wonder-battery soon (tm). Since wonder-battery announcements from Toyota have proven unreliable before we shouldn't hold our breath for today's wonder-battery announcement from Toyota.
Re: Toyota’s advanced battery technology roadmap
#160I hope they are successful on this.
Japanese carmakers are really good and well-disciplined on building it with quality and also cheaply, I'm really excited about what they'll bring.
I've always enjoyed Toyotas, I have one. Toyotas are always cheaper than the alternative and extremely reliable.
