With the 745-Mile Solid-State Battery, Toyota Just Became a Force to Reckon With

Selfishly, I’m excited only because it might mean Toyota continues to be a viable operation into the future.

I want them to be one of the leaders of next generation vehicles, what ever the technology, only because it means they will continue to support their previous generation vehicles, for which they have an honourable history.

I want my BJ74 landcruiser to run on diesel until it’s no longer available, and then I want it to run as a hybrid/electric vehicle until like the ship of Theseus we are debating whether or not it’s still a BJ74.

I envy you with your Toyota diesel. I could only manage to get a VW.

Also Land Cruiser owner here, although gasoline one. No intentions of conversion. I'm pretty sure gas will be available for the next 100 years.
