They could have more easily accomplished that by putting a 16 kWh battery in it, since the added cost is way more than offset by the federal tax credits. That size battery allows higher performance too.

Toyota’s lack of real interest is because they are behind on battery tech and can’t make mainstream plug ins profitably

I doubt that. They announced a plan to have solid state batteries in production vehicles in 2025.
While I speculate about offering a 16 kWh "Prime" version of everything, Toyota is expert in developing cars people want and making a profit.
