> That's great, but the writing is still on the wall if Toyota doesn't get serious about electric cars.

Toyota is following national direction where natural resources are scarce, including generating electricity. It's actually government's idea to chase hydrogen as a viable alternative to dyno juice.

>With their current trajectory Toyota is headed at 1000mph directly towards being the next Blackberry, Kodak, Nokia or Blockbuster.

> Currently Tesla is the iPhone to Toyota's Nokia and they're going to have to work very hard very soon to turn that around or their company will die.

Oh FFS
