It only took Kia 6 years to out-Toyota Toyota, that is to go from producing the worst mainstream cars in the us to the best in initial and 3 year quality metrics (and well above Toyota).
(2009 when they built first US production line to 2015).
I agree with both of you, cheekily. I genuinely can’t wait for Toyota to do a full BEV. I realize they say mainstream BEVs are a pipe dream still, but I think it’ll happen eventually.
Teslas have quite poor reliability so far:

I'm sure Tesla will improve with time but they're not going to out-Toyota Toyota any time soon.
