Likely due to supply chain issues at first, but now probably due to Toyota’s announcement last year that they expect to launch next gen solid state EV’s in 2026-27.

SS EV’s are expected to have twice the range, and half the weight and charging time of current EV’s.

If true, it will be a game changer, and could put Tesla out of business.
