Looks nearly production ready. Good job keeping it secret, Toyota  :)

I think the speedo will change; note how the steering wheel changes between the time of the video and these pictures, but fine if it doesn't. The only thing that bugs me is the centre console that makes the driver space feel small and claustrophobic. I'd prefer what Honda did in this regard:

Rolls off the tongue real smooth doesn't it?  :P

I hope Toyota will come up with a unique name that all of its EVs will share, like Hyundai did with Ioniq. My vote goes for resurrecting SCION just because it sounds cool and appropriate for high tech electric cars.

Battery packs are reportedly coming from two suppliers - Panasonic and CATL.

The ute looks good as long as the exterior is either dark grey or black  ;)
