    If they had hit the 200k limit last quarter, I think we would heard so by now.

    ...... & if they haven't yet hit 200K ... it may mean their plugins aren't flying off the shelves compared to at least one other manufacturer

    there might be a shortage currently, but they've never flown off the shelves.

    To this day nobody can explain a PHEV to a layperson

    Those that have had them love them (at least in the us)

    However, Toyota, I get the strong indication sells them like a compliance vehicle, wanting them to sell into specific markets over others and there are definite constraints

    I have never had any trouble explaining the basics of a PHEV to a layperson.
    In my experience, more laypeople have more trouble with the concept of a BEV than a PHEV.

    Elected officials often do not understand...for example, the Pacifica is a PHEV but they it call a hybrid instead of plug-in hybrid.

    you still may have time to get a RAV4Prime+tax credit?

    i'm interested, but content to wait until the shortage is over. if they ever start giving them away like the prime, even better.
    if i die first, i won't miss it :p

    The automaker expects that sometime before the end of June it will reach a 200,000-vehicle cap on the credits.

    Maybe that will force the Stealerships to knock off the ridiculous $5K- $10K markups

    Trying to remember the rebate rules, but maybe slowing the new EV sales due to the wheel fall-off recall (yikes) could get Toyota to July which buys them another quarter? Not sure
