That's the theory. Here's the sad, sad, extremely sad reality:

bZ4X sales in US in 2022:

  05: 199
  06: 33
  07, 08, 09: zero (they recalled every car and stopped production and sales)
  10: 351 (resumed production)

Those numbers are not in thousands. That's 351 cars in November.

Meaningless numbers. Current production is of 1'000 vehicles per month. It's still not produced in high volumes, they need to ramp up production.

I can assure you this is going to sell like hotcakes (especially as Toyota offers a 1 million kilometers warranty, good luck driving a tesla even for a third without having to change the battery) and there's no shortage of demand (it's Toyota afterall).

Yup. And when they finally go to market with their armada of EV's, they'll change their tune.
