The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

TM -Toyoda hybrid vs bev debate. We live in free market societies and capitalism dictates adoption based upon utilization at the individual level, not some societal good arguments. I think Toyoda's math is correct and many realize it. However, individual choice suggests people that can afford bev would rather not get stuck with the complexity of hybrids. IMO TM has a good chance to transition successfully but it will be painful for them. They have the biggest market share to lose and they are losing that share fast in the most profitable markets. Model Y is best selling car in the world for Q1 2023 and tsla is still ramping production.
