    On the other hand, I will have to take back everything I said about Toyota, and my car may be obsolete in a few years, if Toyota's claim today (reported in the Guardian) that is has made a breakthrough in solid-state batteries that will allow it to manufacture a battery with 745 miles of range and charge in 10 minutes, as soon as 2027. Obviously, if true and happens, a game-changer.

    I'd like to suggest that if you do, you chain or tie it down to one of the seat supports. If you were in some sort of incident you wouldn't want it getting frisky and coming up front to join you.

    Same for me started out wanting an XLE and ended up with a Limited! my favorite limited feature is the power rear lift ! I’m quite surprised I’m also enjoying the advance park and the ventilated seats! waited almost 8 months, my dealer said he’s only received about 10 units since the first of the year,It’s now the middle of July, I am quite happy and more than satisfied with the extra money I had to spend! but like you say when will you get another one? Enjoy
