Sorry but this made me laugh.
Zero sales of their EV in the US in September.

It's regarded as "meh" by the EV glitterati.
Spec-wise, it's got a 71kWh battery, which is a decent capacity. But it's not very efficient with it, so range is relatively poor, even in the single-motor Front Wheel Drive version - 220ish miles in real world driving.
Charging is 150KW, which isn't the best, but isn't the worst. (although amusingly, the faster and more powerful, and less efficient dual motor version the max DC charging rate is less, at 100KW! Goodness knows why).
It's not very fast, with 0-60 in about 7 seconds. But it's not the slowest.
It's 2020kg. So it's not the heaviest EV out there, but not the lightest either.
Price-wise, it starts at £43k. So it's not really pricey, but it's hardly a bargain either.
Consider what else you can get for the money if you're in the market for an EV mid-size SUV...
It's also got a stupid name and is ugly as heck. And is identical to the Subaru Solterra. In fact Toyota will build the Subaru for them in the same factory. And the wheels fall off so they've had to recall every single one they've made to date.
