Well, they warranty it for 8 year/100k, so that should tell you something. Lots of people talking about the cost of replacing the battery as a downside so if Toyota was so confident it was going to last 15 years / 200k they’d warranty it that long just to boost the consumer confidence.

yea but when they do need to be replaced they cost lots of $$ from what i have read
