World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You literally just said "it doesnt matter how good they make them." If they did have a good EV, you'd complain that it was too expensive. If they cut the cost and quality, you'd complain that it wasn't worth buying. They can't beat China at this game without using all the same tricks I mentioned in my previous comment. Nobody in the world can do that.
Why do they need a good EV at this very moment? Worldwide, EVs only make up 20% of new car sales. Their hybrids outsell EVs 3 to 1 here in the US. They're about to release their solid state batteries and manufacture EVs this coming year with double the range of the current technology. They've also been exploring additional alternatives such as hydrogen fuel cells. What's the rush, exactly? How is that "having their heads buried in the sand?"
Are you arguing that they would be better suited to have dumped tens of billions of dollars trying to "keep up with the Jones's" by developing the same bleeding edge technology in parallel with everyone else? Would they be kings of the automotive world witn something like the Nissan Leaf in their fleet? I seriously doubt it.
Because it doesn’t matter if they are good or not, if they don’t build ANY was my point. And solid state battery LOL’s, Toyota has been saying that for 10 years.
They do build some- the bZ4x, Murai, and Prius plug-in. See you will complain regardless of what they do.
They've been saying what for 10 years?
That solid state batteries are “coming out next year”.
Bullshit. Toyota never promised SS batteries before 2027.
