So the old 18 or 24 month engineering cycle that Honda and Toyota always bragged about is pretty much out the window. Even Tesla takes a while to put EV's out. Look how long it took to bring the cybertruck into production - 2019 to 2024 - so five years? So if you have to meet an EV target for 2030, time is just about up.

Honda and Toyota never bragged about 18 or 24 month development cycles. It got down to 36 months and that was my challenge……..until Toyota publicly admitted 36 was impacting quality.
