After reading the links you mentioned I do not support your opinion that Toyota is pushing this or a similar story since 2021. On the contrary, they announce huge investments and research breakthroughs for years now, but only now they are starting to announce mass production.

This is "luddite" fodder. Don't buy an EV now, better batteries are coming!!! Soon, we promise, just wait. In the meantime check out this ice vehicle!

I think they are learning from Musk.

Not to mention that this kind of range isn't helpful, it would be much more useful to make the battery smaller and lighter and stay with a 300 mile range. The vehicle would be cheaper and much more efficient overall. This is the kind of headline a marketing department would write.
