So the Model Y is beginning to outsell the Corolla but Toyota is just going to wait until 2027 to launch this for reasons? Because they are so awesome they don't mind other companies eating their lunch? That isn't believable.

Toyota has one BEV and it’s a joke. Look it up. We’ll wait.
And that is unlikely to change any time soon not because they just want to wait for 2027 for unknown reasons despite massive demand for EVs and PHEVs that they still can't make in large numbers.
> for reasons

Because they don't actually have the technology and the manufacturing figured out and this is just marketing.

EVs are coming and we must adjust.
Someone should tell the Japanese auto industry. They didn't get the memo.
