conclusion text: Choose Tesla if you prioritize cutting-edge EV technology, superior acceleration, advanced autonomous features, and highest profit margins in the EV space. Choose Toyota if you value proven reliability across millions of vehicles, broad powertrain flexibility (hybrid/EV/gas), lower maintenance costs, and a dealership network with established service infrastructure across 170 countries.

main entity: Which company is more reliable long-term?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Toyota ranks 6th in J.D. Power reliability with proven longevity across 25+ years of hybrid technology and 10.3M annual sales. Tesla ranks 28th out of 32 brands with higher repair costs ($0.15-0.20 per mile vs. Toyota's $0.08). Toyota vehicles typically retain value longer and require fewer repairs over ownership.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which is better for electric vehicles?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Tesla dominates EV technology with 19.5% global EV market share, superior acceleration (0-60 in 1.99 seconds on Model S Plaid), and 60,000 Supercharger stations. Toyota has only 4.2% EV market share but offers 20+ hybrid models and is expanding EV lineup with models like bZ4X. Choose Tesla for pure EV performance; choose Toyota for hybrid flexibility.
    language: en-US
main entity: What's the total cost of ownership difference?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Tesla has higher purchase prices ($60K-$100K+) but lower fuel costs and maintenance ($0.15-0.20/mile). Toyota has lower purchase prices, especially hybrids ($30K-60K), with even lower maintenance costs ($0.08/mile). Over 10 years, Toyota typically costs $8,000-15,000 less total despite similar mileage due to reliability and resale value.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which has better autonomous driving?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Beta represent Level 2+ autonomous capability with advanced features like navigate on autopilot and automatic lane changing. Toyota Safety Sense is Level 2 with adaptive cruise control and lane centering. Tesla is ahead but both require driver attention; neither achieves Level 3+ autonomy yet.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which company is financially stronger?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Toyota generated $272B revenue in 2023 versus Tesla's $81.5B, making Toyota 3.3x larger by revenue. However, Tesla's 15% operating margin significantly exceeds Toyota's 10%, meaning Tesla generates more profit per dollar of sales. Tesla is more profitable but Toyota is larger and more diversified financially.
