In the Chevy Bolt forum, people often spoke of how tragically behind Toyota is with regards to developing EVs. They predict the collapse of the company due to their lack of EV competence, and a skyrocketing of EV sales due any second now.

Meanwhile I'm countering that opinion by saying everyone else was too early, and that we can get excited for the growth of EVs when Toyota enters that market.

Then Chevy's EVs continued spontaneously bursting into flames prompting a 2 billion dollar recall...

Us armchair quarterbacks are fools compared to those actually developing strategies for their respective companies.
