And the bZ3, bZ5, bZ7, bZ3X, bZ Woodland, C-HR+, the Lexus RZ, and soon the Hilux EV:

A list of cars that aren't available for purchase yet doesn't disprove the argument that Toyota is late to the game.

    They are available for purchase.

    Toyota is in the game of selling cars. Toyota has been the best selling automaker for the last six years straight.

    Toyota had record sales last year:

    It's possible that Toyota understands the car business better than you do.

      All of the bz* models you listed are Chinese models, and while the Woodland and C-HR are listed on their US website, they aren't really available for purchase (though I did find one C-HR if I'm willing to drive 500 miles to buy it). Obviously the world auto market is greater than the US, but the US is the leading market for Toyota in terms of total units sold, so it's odd to me that if I drive to the Toyota dealership 10 minutes from my house, their game of selling cars only leaves me with one model to purchase if I'm committed to buying a BEV.
