> I give Toyota big props for the Prius, which was the original Green Vehicle 15-20 years ago, and still is a HUGE player in the efficiency space. IIRC, The number one vehicle trade-in for TSLA has been Priuses. Was there even a car before the Prius that used regenerative braking? In many ways, Prius "primed" the market for greener vehicles. > And yet, Toyota had no great BEV follow-up Prius sales trends since debut in 1997 reflect this sentiment in that they were first, executed well, and thus had most of the market. Current Prius sales are dropping off very steadily by year, though. But to your point on the trade ins, current Tesla Model 3 sales are getting close to Prius' best all time sales of +200K units/year. https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/total-toyota-prius-sales-figur... https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/tesla-model-3-sales-figures-us... |
