I bought a used car. It was much more expensive than using Uber or Lyft. Alex Bitter/BI No one had ever been this excited about a used Toyota Yaris.

That was my thought as my wife and I picked up the keys to the car we found on Facebook Marketplace one morning in August 2025. For the first time in seven years of living in the Washington, DC area, we were car owners.

It was also a rebuke of sorts for one of the companies I write about most often. For years, Uber executives have said that the company's gig-worker drivers — and, increasingly, the self-driving cars on its app — compete with car ownership.

Uber President Andrew MacDonald told a podcast last month that the rising cost of a new car makes owning one a worse deal than several years ago. And CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said last year that the rise of robotaxis will reduce car ownership over the next two decades, making driving a car yourself look "something like horseback riding."

So, did I make a horrible mistake spending just over $6,000 on a used sub-compact car that's effectively the next draft horse?

Why subscriptions make everything more expensive

Last month, one year after buying my Yaris, I decided to add up all my expenses and compare them with the previous year, when I was car-free and relied on Uber, Lyft, and public transportation.

Your milage my vary. Your own calculation will depend on where you live, the cost of your car, how fast it depreciates, and the current price of gas (or charging, if you drive an EV).

My results showed that Uber might have a point.

The costs of a Toyota Yaris add upMy wife and I decided we wanted a car last summer when we realized that parking at our apartment complex was free.

Owning a car never made sense to us in Washington. DC is one of about a dozen US cities with a rapid transit system, and a parking spot can cost up to $300 a month. Plus, wait times for rides on Uber and Lyft are rarely more than a few minutes.

Parking is just one of the costs of owning a car these days. The average sticker price of a new car is above $50,000, according to Kelly Blue Book, a Cox Automotive brand that tracks car prices. Used cars, while more affordable, have become more expensive, too. There's also maintenance, insurance, and, for many of us, the elevated price of gas.

When my wife and I found our used Toyota Yaris L — that's "L" meaning the lowest-trim model — we thought that we were being as thrifty as possible. We could buy the car without a loan. And my research suggested that, even when it needed repairs, they wouldn't be that expensive on a small, simple vehicle. If any car had a chance of rivaling the cost of Uber, this was it.

But it didn't.

After buying the car for $6,000, one year of car ownership cost us another $5,000.

That's more than three times as much as the $1,600 we spent on ride-hailing trips and rental cars in the year before we bought the car.

Some of the expenses were optional, like $250 to have my transmission fluid drained and replaced as a preventative maintenance measure. But most of those costs were the basics: Oil changes, gas, registration fees, insurance, and tolls.

I also didn't quit using Uber or Lyft. I took rides to plenty of weekend bar hangs with friends, either because parking was a hassle or because I wanted to drink.

Suddenly, free parking started to lose its shine. Our little sub-compact was more expensive than I had expected.

Maybe, though, there's more to it.

'Ready to be driven at a moment's notice'I'm merely the latest person to compare whether owning a car makes sense in the era of ride-hailing apps. Even Sam Altman made the comparison in a blog post back in 2014.

His conclusion: Using Uber was cheaper than driving his Tesla Roadster — at least, back when the millennial life subsidy made fares on the app cheaper than they are today.

Doing a strict cost comparison isn't how most of us think about car ownership, though, according to David Keith, associate professor of strategy at the Melbourne Business School in Australia.

Keith is one of the authors of a 2021 study that asked drivers from major US cities how much they would need to be paid annually to give up their car.

The exact number — $11,197 on average — wasn't as interesting as why people said that they valued owning a car. More than half of that amount, Keith and colleagues found, was "non-use value," which includes having the option to take a car whenever you want, and a perceived status boost from owning a car.

In other words, drivers are okay if their car sits unused most of the time. "I can walk outside, and there's this box of metal sitting there on the street, ready to be driven at a moment's notice," he said.

I knew exactly what he meant.

For weeks after buying my car, I had to change how I thought about transportation. Questions like "How much are Uber rides?" and "Is my destination accessible by Metro?" were replaced by a single statement: "Just drive there now, stupid!"

There were also places I would never have visited without a car: For example, Fredericksburg, Virginia, for a day of antiquing, or rural Maryland to search the site of a Civil War camp with my metal detector. Being able to hop in a car whenever you want feels great. Those are trips that would have been difficult or impossible with Uber, and they're the main reason that my wife and I plan to keep our car, extra costs and all.

Recreating that freedom with modes of transportation that you don't own is an important aspect of reducing car ownership in the US, Keith told me.

Some places have tried it. A company called MaaS Global — that's "Mobility as a service" — operated an app called Whim, which offered taxi rides, bike shares, and public transit as a bundle for a monthly subscription. Whim operated in several European cities, including Helsinki and Vienna, before MaaS Global filed for bankruptcy in 2024 and ceased operations.

Meanwhile, in the US, car ownership has stayed steady over the last couple of decades, even as alternatives from Uber and Lyft to local bike-sharing programs grow.

"All of these things are fantastic, but none of them have really led to there being fewer cars in cities," Keith said.

Toyota Motor has a rare problem for an automaker: There is so much demand for its new RAV4 and the inventory is so limited that dealers only have a few days' supply.

"It is really unusual to see cars fly off the dealers' lots like this," said Jessica Caldwell, head of product insight at Edmunds. "It is not something that exists in that very practical, very suburban, small-midsize crossover segment."

At Colonial Toyota in Milford, Connecticut, the lack of RAV4s has left owner Bobby Crabtree with several open spots for new vehicles at his dealership.

"This lot can handle another 250 vehicles, so I am probably about a third full of that capacity," Crabtree said as he looked out at scores of new and used Toyotas.

Not all of those open spaces would be filled with new RAV4s during normal times, but there certainly would be more, he said.

Toyota's RAV4 has been a red-hot model over the past several years, with almost 480,000 sold in the U.S. last year. It was the third best-selling model in the country in 2025 behind the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado, two full-size pickups that have been top sellers for years, according to Cox Automotive.

When Toyota announced it would be rolling out new versions of the RAV4, two things stood out. First, the crossover utility vehicle would only be sold as a hybrid. Second, production would be limited at first and then steadily increase. In other words, there would not be the normal allotment of new RAV4s at dealerships.

That has not stopped buyers like Nancy and Ira Berman of Danbury, Connecticut. When they ordered their RAV4 in March, they knew they would be waiting a while before they got their new SUV.

"The wait was a slight annoyance," said Nancy Berman. "It didn't stop us from going and doing this because we do have our other Toyotas to drive."

Six months after placing their order, the Bermans will soon get their new RAV4.

For Toyota, the shift to an all-hybrid RAV4 lineup comes as more buyers are pivoting to those types of cars due to gas prices that remain elevated. In 2026, more than 18% of the vehicles sold in the U.S. have been hybrids, according to J.D. Power, still well behind the 75% of vehicles with internal combustion engines but above the 7% of pure electric vehicles.

watch now

With dealers unable to stock their lots with new RAV4s and customers being told they will have to wait weeks or perhaps even months for a vehicle, it raises the question of whether Toyota could lose sales. So far, Toyota's U.S. sales in 2026 are still up 0.3% through July. Given the appeal of the RAV4, Caldwell said the impact of dealers having a limited supply is likely limited.

"There are other vehicles within the Toyota lineup that consumers can go to," Caldwell said. "Toyota has a lot of brand loyalty, people who buy a Toyota usually stay with Toyota for many years not just one vehicle purchase but several."

Investors are betting negotiations soften the proposal before Toyota must rewire another North American manufacturing network. Summary

Canadian factories supplied approximately 17% of Toyota’s U.S. vehicle sales last year.

Toyota Motor TM, the global automobile and mobility giant, jumped approximately 1.7% to $197.60 Monday—even as President Trump threatened to double tariffs on Canadian vehicle imports from 25% to 50%. The clock is ticking: the new rate starts January 1 unless Washington and Ottawa cut a deal.

Toyota has billions riding on the outcome. Canada supplied roughly 17% of its U.S. vehicle sales last year, while earlier American tariffs already burned through approximately 1.4 trillion yen, or $8.8 billion, during the latest financial year. The company is countering with up to $10 billion of fresh U.S. investment, including a planned $3.6 billion Texas plant. But factories take years. Tariffs can strike overnight.

The pressure is landing as momentum cools. July sales dropped 4.8% globally to 856,125 vehicles, while the previous tariff hit equaled roughly 1.3 times Toyota's latest quarterly operating income. Yet the stock sits 4.68% below its $207.31 GF Value estimate. Monday's rally sends a blunt message: investors are betting the 50% threat gets negotiated down before Toyota gets the bill.

Taunton, MA, Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) proudly announces the launch of Rebuilding Lives Through Mobility, a national campaign supported by Homes For Our Troops, TOYOTA RACING, BraunAbility, and TRICON Garage through Johnny and Terry Gray. The initiative is dedicated to restoring independence and improving the quality of life for Veterans living with service-connected injuries by providing six Toyota Sienna BraunAbility wheelchair-accessible vans throughout the 2026 NASCAR season.

The campaign builds upon a shared commitment to honor the sacrifices of America's Veterans by expanding access to safe, reliable, and life-changing mobility. Together, the organizations will provide adaptive mobility vehicles to HFOT home recipients with qualifying mobility needs during race weekends nationwide.

The initiative is made possible through a $1 million gift from longtime philanthropists Johnny and Terry Gray, whose generosity fully funds the Rebuilding Lives Through Mobility campaign. The Grays have dedicated their philanthropic efforts to supporting organizations that create lasting change for Veterans, children, and families, helping expand programs that break the cycles of abuse and homelessness. Their longstanding commitment to improving lives also includes advancing healthcare through the Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute at Jupiter Medical Center, which opened in 2023.

The family's commitment to honoring Veterans extends to the next generation, with grandsons Taylor Gray and Tanner Gray representing the initiative throughout the 2026 NASCAR season. Taylor Gray competes in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving the No. 54 Toyota GR Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing, while Tanner Gray competes full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 15 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for TRICON Garage. Throughout the campaign, both drivers will race in Homes For Our Troops-branded vehicles, helping bring national attention to the mission of restoring independence for severely injured Veterans.

"At Homes For Our Troops, rebuilding lives means removing the barriers that prevent our nation's severely injured post-9/11 Veterans from living life to its fullest," said HFOT President/CEO Brigadier General, USA (Ret) Tom Landwermeyer. "Our specially adapted custom homes provide the foundation, and these wheelchair-accessible vans help Veterans get to work, attend medical appointments, spend time with family, and stay connected to their communities. We are grateful to Johnny and Terry Gray for their extraordinary generosity and to TOYOTA RACING, BraunAbility, and TRICON Garage for their partnership in making this initiative possible."

The campaign's mission is to honor America's Veterans by providing life-changing mobility through the gift of a Toyota Sienna BraunAbility wheelchair-accessible van. Together, the organizations aim to strengthen independence, empower lives, and create brighter futures for Veterans and their families.

2026 Campaign Schedule

Adaptive van presentations will take place during six race weekends:

August 28-29: Daytona International SpeedwaySeptember 18-20: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMSA Battle on the Bricks)September 25-27: Kansas SpeedwayOctober 3-4: Las Vegas Motor SpeedwayOctober 9-11: Charlotte Motor SpeedwayOctober 16-18: Phoenix Raceway For more than two decades, Homes For Our Troops has been dedicated to rebuilding the lives of severely injured post-9/11 Veterans by building and donating specially adapted custom homes that restore freedom and independence. Through partnerships with organizations that share its mission, HFOT continues to expand opportunities that help Veterans thrive long after their military service has ended.

Together, we drive change. Rebuilding lives through mobility. Honoring service. Delivering freedom.

About Homes For Our Troops (HFOT):

Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a publicly funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide to severely injured post-9/11 Veterans.

Electric vehicle makers Tesla (TSLA -1.71%) and China's BYD (BYDDY -0.43%) may be the industry's most talked about companies because they're the industry's two biggest names.

Yet, there's a third carmaker that both BYD and Tesla and their shareholders might want to start keeping a closer eye on since it's coming on strong within the electrified vehicle market.

That's automobile maker Toyota Motor (TM +1.29%). Yes, that Toyota.

Missing the boat (so to speak) Most investors probably know that Toyota has been tinkering with hybrids and even battery-only vehicles for a while now. What these investors might not fully appreciate is just how deep the world's biggest carmaker has waded into the electric vehicle market.

For the quarter ended in June, 1.41 million (or 51.9%) of the 2.71 million automobiles that Toyota manufactured during that three-month stretch were electric rather than combustion-powered.

Image source: Getty Images.

The vast majority of these cars were hybrids, which are distinctly different from all of the EVs made by Tesla, and roughly half the so-called new-energy vehicles manufactured by BYD. Teslas are only powered by a rechargeable battery, whereas hybrids combine battery power with a combustion engine, making them practical even when recharging them is impractical.

The thing is, Toyota's dedication to the continued development of its hybrid automobile business may be a brilliant one despite all the hype being generated by the proliferation of battery-only electric vehicles. For perspective, while sales of battery-electric vehicles (or BEVs) within the United States grew slightly to 1.26 million cars in 2025, according to data from the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), hybrid sales quietly but decisively topped that figure at 2.05 million, up 27.6% year over year.

And the U.S. market hasn't been particularly receptive to either alternative to conventional combustion-powered automobiles. Of the roughly 90 million cars that were sold worldwide last year, industry research outfit Imarc reports nearly 16.3 million were hybrids, up 24.8% year over year, easily outpacing sales and sales growth of battery-only EVs. Electric vehicle market leaders Tesla and BYD only delivered 3.86 million BEVs between them last year, for reference.

Moreover, Imarc expects hybrid automobile sales to reach nearly 126 million units per year by 2034, once consumers recognize this option sidesteps most of the concerns that are crimping interest in battery-only EVs here and abroad. Already the leading name of the hybrid market with last fiscal year's sales of over 4.6 million hybrid cars, Toyota stands ready to capture at least its fair share of this growth.

A development that's too big to ignore Only time will tell whether hybrids will displace battery-only EVs, or if there's room for both options. What is clear is that the demand for hybrids is very real, and growing, posing at least an indirect threat to Tesla, which is already contending with a formidable BYD on the electric vehicle front. In the meantime, BYD is also becoming a respectable contender in the hybrid business that's proving a marketable alternative to BEVs.

Arguably more than anything, though, Toyota may be an investment prospect that too many investors are looking right past, assuming it's no longer relevant. It very much is.

On August 24, 2026, we conducted a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis for Toyota Motor Corp
TM -1.17% 71

, a company currently trading at $197.35. Despite a year-to-date decline of 6.4%, Toyota has shown some recovery with a 1-month increase of 9.4%. The consensus from various valuation models indicates that the stock is significantly undervalued.

DCF Earnings-based intrinsic value of $341.94 vs current price of $197.35 (margin of safety: 42.3%) DCF FCF-based intrinsic value: not available GF Score™ of 71/100, indicating a reliable assessment of the DCF inputs What Is TM Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model Our DCF analysis employs a two-stage model to evaluate Toyota's intrinsic value. In the first stage, we project earnings growth over the next ten years, followed by a terminal growth phase. The assumptions for this model are outlined in the table below:

Parameter Value Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $19.09 10-Year Growth Rate 9.1% 10-Year Treasury Rate 4.71% Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 11% Terminal Growth Rate 4% The calculation summary for the two-stage model is as follows:

Stage Description Value Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 9.1%, discounted at 11% $206.33 Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 11% $135.61 Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $341.94 Comparing the current price of $197.35 to the intrinsic value of $341.94 reveals a significant undervaluation, with a margin of safety of 42.3%. It is important to note that GuruFocus utilizes EPS excluding non-recurring items, as research indicates that stock prices are more closely correlated with earnings than with free cash flow. For further details, you can access the TM DCF Calculator.

What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say? Unfortunately, the FCF-based intrinsic value for Toyota is not available at this time. However, the earnings-based DCF model and the GF Value™ both suggest that the stock is undervalued. This reinforces the findings from the earnings DCF analysis, presenting a consistent perspective on Toyota's valuation.

How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for Toyota is calculated at $206.16, which indicates a 4.3% undervaluation. This proprietary measure is derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. All three valuation approaches—DCF earnings, GF Value™, and the absence of FCF-based valuation—align in suggesting that Toyota is undervalued. For more insights, visit the GF Value™ page.

What Does TM's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ evaluates a company's financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. Toyota's score of 71/100 indicates a solid overall assessment, although it is tempered by a predictability rank of 0 out of 5 stars. This low predictability suggests that the DCF model may be less reliable for Toyota compared to companies with higher predictability ratings.

Metric Rating GF Score™ 71/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 9/10 Momentum 1/10 For more information on Toyota, visit the TM stock page.

Key Assumptions and Limitations It is crucial to recognize that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth and discount rates. Stocks with low predictability ratings, like Toyota, tend to yield less reliable DCF estimates. The terminal growth rate of 4% is a simplifying assumption that may not fully capture future market conditions.

What This Means for Investors In summary, the consensus from the DCF earnings model, the absence of a reliable FCF-based valuation, and the GF Value™ all point towards Toyota being undervalued. The presence of 6 gurus currently holding the stock, with 5 adding positions and no trimming, further supports this view. Insider activity shows no net selling over the past 12 months, which can be seen as a positive signal. Overall, these factors suggest that Toyota presents an attractive investment opportunity. For further analysis, you can explore the TM DCF Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions What is TM's intrinsic value based on DCF?

According to our analysis, the earnings-based intrinsic value is $341.94, while the FCF-based intrinsic value is not available.

Is TM overvalued or undervalued?

Based on the DCF and GF Value™ consensus, TM is considered undervalued.

How reliable is the DCF model for TM?

The predictability rank of 0 out of 5 indicates that the DCF model may not be very reliable for TM.

However, we can rely on the earnings DCF result of $341.94 and the GF Value™ of $206.09 to form a consensus on valuation.

How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for Toyota is calculated at $206.09, providing a third perspective on the stock's valuation. This proprietary measure is derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. All three valuation models—DCF earnings, GF Value™, and the absence of FCF-based valuation—align in suggesting that Toyota is undervalued, although the GF Value™ indicates a smaller margin compared to the DCF earnings model. For more insights, visit the GF Value™ page.

What Does TM's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ evaluates a company's financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. Toyota's score of 71/100 suggests a solid performance across these metrics, although its predictability rank stands at 0/5 stars, indicating that the DCF model may be less reliable for this stock. Below is a summary of TM's GF Score™ metrics:

Metric Rating GF Score™ 71/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 10/10 Momentum 1/10 For more details on TM's financial metrics, visit the TM stock page.

Key Assumptions and Limitations It is crucial to understand that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth rates and discount rates. Stocks with low predictability ratings, such as Toyota's 0/5 stars, tend to yield less reliable DCF estimates. Additionally, the terminal growth rate of 4% is a simplifying assumption that may not fully capture future market dynamics.

What This Means for Investors In summary, all three valuation models—DCF earnings, GF Value™, and the absence of a FCF-based assessment—indicate that Toyota is undervalued. The consensus suggests a strong potential upside based on the DCF earnings model's intrinsic value of $341.94 compared to the current price of $191.11. Additionally, the guru ownership signal shows that six gurus currently hold the stock, with five adding to their positions recently, while insider activity has been neutral with equal buying and selling. This indicates a level of confidence in the stock's future performance. For further exploration of Toyota's valuation, check out the TM DCF Calculator.

Toyota issued a recall for about 655,000 of its Camry vehicles globally over a display error that may deactivate safety indicators such as turn signals and hazard lights, the automaker announced on Tuesday.

The global recall involves vehicles produced between December 2023 and July 2026 across manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Japan and Thailand.

Among those vehicles, a total of 508,354 model year 2025-2026 Camry Hybrids in the U.S. are affected by the recall, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The affected vehicles are equipped with a 7-inch display combination meter that may be blank at startup.

Only the LE, SE and Nightshade trims have the smaller 7-inch display.

The XLE and XSE trims use a larger 12.3-inch driver display, so these models are not affected.

Turn signals, hazard lights and other warning buzzers, such as reminders to fasten the seat belt and remove the key from the ignition, may also be deactivated due to the defect in affected vehicles.

Toyota is recalling 655,000 Camrys worldwide, including 508,354 in the US, over a display defect that can deactivate turn signals and hazard lights. Bloomberg via Getty Images “The 7-inch combination meter may become blank at startup,” the automaker said in a statement.

“This can also deactivate the turn signal and hazard lamps and certain warning buzzer sounds (such as the smart key reminder and the driver/passenger seat belt reminder). This can cause the vehicle not to meet certain federal safety standards.”

“If certain required information is not displayed in the combination meter, if the turn signal/hazard lamps do not function, or if certain warning buzzers do not activate, there can be an increased risk of injury or a crash depending on the specific situation,” the statement added.

The recall affects Camry models that were made from December 2023 to July 2026 throughout manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Japan, and Thailand. Tada Images – stock.adobe.com The NHTSA warns that these display issues increase the risk of a crash for both drivers who may be unable to see telltale indicators and other road users would not know the driver’s intent to turn or indicate a vehicle hazard.

Toyota Motor North America said it will notify owners of the affected Camrys, so they can bring their vehicles to a dealer for a software update free of charge.

U.S. owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed starting on Sept. 21, with all expected to be sent out by early October.

Exclusive artwork inspired by Diaz's OMAKASE album and a special Toyota Music Den performance at Lollapalooza bring fans closer to the artist's creative journey

, /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota is partnering with 3x Latin Grammy-nominated Puerto Rican artist Álvaro Díaz to celebrate music discovery, cultural connections and fan engagement through a series of exclusive artwork inspired by his latest album, OMAKASE. The collaboration brings together Toyota's Japanese heritage and Díaz's creative vision, which blends Japanese and Puerto Rican influences throughout the album.

Toyota and 3x Latin Grammy-nominated artist, Álvaro Díaz, announce partnership to celebrate music discovery and cultural connections through a series of exclusive posters inspired by his latest album, OMAKASE. Conceived as a curated experience inspired by the Japanese dining tradition in which a chef guides guests through a personalized journey, OMAKASE explores the intersection of cultures, creativity and discovery. It debuted at No. 1 on Spotify's Top Albums Debut Global chart and reached No. 1 in over 16 countries on Apple Music. To date it has surpassed 200 million global streams. The album's themes made Toyota a natural partner to help connect fans with Díaz's music and artistic journey.

"At Toyota, we're passionate about helping fans discover the artists and cultural movements shaping what's next in music," said Paul Doleshal, general manager, motorsports and sponsorships, Toyota. "We're thrilled to work with Álvaro Díaz, whose creativity, ambition and originality make him an exciting partner. From exclusive artwork collaborations to his upcoming performance at the Toyota Music Den during Lollapalooza, we're proud to create experiences that bring fans closer to the artists they love while helping drive music discovery forward."

As part of the partnership, Toyota and Díaz collaborated with two distinctive artists to create a series of limited-edition posters inspired by the OMAKASE tracklist and aesthetic. Drawing from both Japanese and Puerto Rican artistic traditions, the collection features work from Shingo Yamazaki, a Japanese Korean American oil painter whose pieces explore identity, home and nostalgia, and Bikismo, the legendary Puerto Rican graffiti artist and muralist known for his vibrant, hyper-realistic metallic style. Together, the artwork celebrates the cultural fusion at the heart of the album and the partnership.

Fans will have an opportunity to receive a limited-edition poster during Díaz's special performance at the Toyota Music Den stage at Lollapalooza. The four-poster series brings the creative world of OMAKASE to life through a vibrant, street-style fusion of Latino and Japanese culture. Fans nationwide will also have opportunities to access the artwork through Toyota Latino social channels.

The collaboration builds on Toyota's commitment to supporting artists through unique music experiences that bring fans closer to the people shaping today's music landscape. Earlier this year, Toyota introduced OMAKASE to fans during a listening experience at Sueños Music Festival, also in Chicago, and will continue the partnership through additional projects, including Sounds of the Road, presented by Toyota and SiriusXM. This exclusive performance and interview series features emerging and established artists, and Álvaro's episode will launch later this year in Spanish.

The math has never been kinder to legacy automakers, and it has never mattered less to Tesla’s stock. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA | TSLA Price Prediction) carried a market capitalization of $1.423 trillion as of July 21, 2026, per FactSet data cited by the Wall Street Journal. The combined market cap of the next 37 largest consumer vehicle and parts manufacturers on that same date was $1.415 trillion, a list that includes Toyota, BYD, Ferrari, General Motors, Ford, and Hyundai. Tesla alone is worth slightly more than all of them put together.

The Profit Gap Behind the Valuation Gap Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) reported net income attributable to owners of the parent of $25.45 billion for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Guidance for the current fiscal year points to roughly $23.8 billion, down about 25% year over year, largely attributed to U.S. tariff pressure. Tesla, by comparison, posted full-year 2025 GAAP net income of $3.8 billion and non-GAAP net income of $5.9 billion. Using Toyota’s guided fiscal figure against Tesla’s GAAP result produces the roughly 6.3x gap referenced in the headline. Toyota’s calendar-year 2025 net income of approximately $31.45 billion would push the ratio closer to 8x.

Toyota also absorbed a direct hit from trade policy. The company disclosed that U.S. tariffs negatively impacted FY2026 operating income by $8.81 billion, and its North America segment swung to an operating loss of $1.23 billion.

A Gap That Keeps Widening The “worth more than the competition combined” phenomenon is not new, but the scope has expanded. At the end of 2020, Tesla’s market cap was $0.669 trillion versus $0.663 trillion combined for just the next 7 largest automakers. Five years later, it takes 37 rivals to match Tesla’s market value.

Per-Vehicle Economics Are Converging As a separate data point, per-vehicle profitability tells its own story. Tesla’s profit per vehicle fell to about $2,140 in Q1 2026, down roughly 40% from $3,438 in the same period in 2025. Toyota’s profit per unit for the comparable period was reported at roughly $2,078, nearly matching Tesla’s.

Scale Still Belongs to the Incumbents Tesla’s full-year 2025 revenue was $94,827,000,000. Toyota’s FY2026 consolidated revenue was $323.62 billion, with $132.70 billion from North America alone. Tesla trades at a trailing P/E of 346; Toyota trades at 10.

What Investors Are Actually Pricing Tesla shares are down 28.91% year to date through July 23, 2026, following an earnings report in which non-GAAP EPS of $0.33 missed the $0.5367 estimate by 38.51% and operating margin compressed to 1.4%. Management framed the spending surge as a bridge to a different business, telling investors that “Over time, Tesla expects hardware-related profits to be accompanied by an acceleration of AI, software, and fleet-based profits.” That is the bet embedded in the market cap, priced against future earnings power rather than the current-year income statement.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Tesla didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

El diseño exterior actualizado se caracteriza por un diseño más definido y determinado El nuevo paquete Trailhunter amplía las prestaciones todoterreno integradas de fábrica La última versión del sistema multimedia Toyota Audio ahora viene de serie con una pantalla de 14 pulgadas Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 estándar Está previsto que los detalles completos del modelo Tundra 2027 se den a conocer durante el otoño de 2026 , /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Toyota presenta una versión actualizada del modelo Tundra para 2027, con un diseño audaz actualizado, tecnología mejorada y más prestaciones gracias a la incorporación del nuevo paquete Trailhunter. La actualización de esta camioneta Tundra se basa en los comentarios de los clientes y en el estudio continuo de cómo viven, trabajan y exploran sus propietarios; asimismo, refleja la misión constante de Toyota de fabricar vehículos de tamaño completo que refuercen el vínculo entre los estilos de vida activos y la capacidad auténtica de una camioneta.

El nuevo modelo Tundra 2027 de Toyota se estrena con un diseño robusto y renovado, tecnología innovadora y el nuevo paquete Trailhunter La camioneta Tundra 2027 fue desarrollada por los equipos de Toyota Motor North America, incluida la división de investigación de diseño CALTY de Toyota en Ann Arbor, Michigan, y presenta un diseño frontal más moderno y funcional que destaca la solidez, el rendimiento y la autenticidad. El diseño actualizado refuerza el papel de Tundra como camioneta de tamaño completo concebida para clientes que esperan que su vehículo ofrezca prestaciones con confianza, a la vez que presenta un aspecto más refinado y personalizado que se adapta a los gustos cambiantes de los clientes.

Nuevo paquete Trailhunter

La camioneta Tundra 2027 incorpora el nuevo paquete Trailhunter, un sistema todoterreno resistente basado en la versión SR5 y diseñado para clientes que buscan un rendimiento mejorado en las carreteras desde fábrica. Este paquete incluye neumáticos Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18, suspensión mejorada de Old Man Emu, ganchos de rescate delanteros y protección adicional en los bajos para facilitar el desplazamiento sobre los terrenos más exigentes. Con un precio más asequible, este paquete Trailhunter contribuye a que las prestaciones para la aventura sean más accesibles para los clientes aficionados a la aventura.

El paquete además incluye tecnologías clave para la conducción todoterreno, como el sistema Multi-Terrain Select (selección de múltiples terrenos), el Crawl Control (control de arrastre) y un diferencial trasero bloqueable, las que mejoran la tracción y el control en una amplia variedad de condiciones difíciles. Por otra parte, el paquete Trailhunter se destaca por sus exclusivas llantas de color bronce y sus insignias únicas, las que le confieren una identidad visual distintiva a la altura de su equipamiento centrado en el rendimiento. En conjunto, estas características convierten al paquete Trailhunter en una opción muy atractiva para clientes que buscan un modelo Tundra más preparado para la aventura y con auténtico espíritu todoterreno.

Diseño funcional y moderno

El modelo Tundra 2027 refleja una filosofía de diseño basada en la solidez, la determinación y la capacidad. El diseño de CALTY se destaca por una geometría frontal nítida y cuadrada, con una estructura alineada verticalmente que transmite potencia y máxima confianza en la capacidad de carga. El resultado es un vehículo audaz, moderno y robusto que se mantiene fiel a la identidad de las camionetas Toyota.

En toda la línea, el nuevo diseño frontal resulta equilibrado y sofisticado, con una presencia ancha y estable, así como un diseño central de la parte inferior del paragolpes que potencia su aspecto robusto. Los faros antiniebla rectangulares se integran perfectamente al paragolpes para ofrecer mayor funcionalidad, mientras que los diseños de parrilla adoptan un estilo hexagonal robusto que se adapta a los distintos acabados y caracteres.

Además, la línea de modelos Tundra continúa reflejando cómo Toyota adapta cada vehículo al estilo de vida específico de cada cliente. Desde versiones todoterreno ultrarresistentes hasta variantes de gama alta, la estrategia de diseño renovada respalda una variedad más amplia de necesidades de los clientes, a la vez que mantiene la autenticidad y la robustez que se esperan de una camioneta Toyota.

Sistema multimedia Toyota Audio de última generación

La nueva camioneta Tundra 2027 cuenta con la versión más reciente del sistema multimedia Toyota Audio. Desarrollado en Norteamérica en colaboración con Toyota Motor North America y Toyota Connected North America, el nuevo sistema integra conectividad a la red 5G de AT&T. Este posee un diseño intuitivo, similar al de un teléfono inteligente, que ofrece widgets personalizables en su nueva pantalla de inicio. Además, incorpora nuevas funciones de asistente de voz que ofrecen respuestas más rápidas a las indicaciones "Oye, Toyota". Ahora, el modelo Tundra viene de serie con una pantalla de 14 pulgadas que ofrece una interfaz digital más grande y avanzada.

El sistema de última generación también incluye una cámara exterior integrada de serie. Cuando están activadas, las cámaras exteriores del vehículo (delanteras/traseras o monitor de visión panorámica, si el vehículo dispone de él) están diseñadas para grabar videos de 20 segundos tanto de eventos manuales como de eventos activados de forma automática.

La funcionalidad mejorada de la llave digital también está disponible en el modelo Tundra 2027 si cuenta con una versión de prueba* o una suscripción activa a Remote Connect. Además de acceder a la llave digital desde la aplicación Toyota, los usuarios ahora pueden gestionar la funcionalidad desde la aplicación de billetera digital nativa de sus dispositivos inteligentes compatibles (como Apple®, Google® o Samsung®), incluidas las operaciones de bloqueo, desbloqueo, arranque y conducción del vehículo Toyota compatible. Asimismo, los usuarios pueden compartir y gestionar permisos de uso compartido de la llave digital con hasta cinco conductores adicionales directamente desde sus billeteras digitales. Una vez habilitada la llave digital en la billetera, esta permite el acceso al vehículo gracias a la tecnología de comunicación de campo cercano (NFC, por sus siglas en inglés) durante cierto tiempo incluso si al dispositivo se le agotó la batería.

Por si todo esto fuera poco, el modelo Tundra cuenta con un inversor de 2.4 kW en las versiones i-FORCE MAX que ofrece energía para herramientas, equipamiento y material de ocio. Ya sea en el trabajo, en un camping o de viaje, el inversor aporta un versatilidad adicional a las ya completas prestaciones de la camioneta.

*Depende de la red 5G.

Iluminación mejorada

La versión Tundra actualizada también incorpora mejoras de hardware destinadas a promover la visibilidad y la confianza. La barra de luces LED integrada a la parrilla fue mejorada para ofrecer mayor intensidad de iluminación, y los faros antiniebla RIGID®, disponibles de manera opcional, mejoran aún más la iluminación en condiciones de baja visibilidad. Los ganchos de remolque delanteros disponibles aportan tanto funcionalidad como una presencia visual más llamativa.

Descripción general del modelo

La camioneta Tundra 2027 se ofrece en diferentes modelos para satisfacer las necesidades de una amplia variedad de clientes del sector de camionetas. Las versiones incluyen SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro y Capstone, además del paquete Trailhunter opcional para clientes que buscan mayor capacidad para aventuras en camionetas todoterreno desde fábrica. La camioneta está disponible con opciones de propulsión tanto de gasolina como híbrida; el motor V6 biturbo de gasolina ofrece un gran rendimiento en el día a día y gran capacidad de remolque, mientras que la propulsión híbrida i-FORCE MAX, disponible en forma opcional, aporta aún más par y capacidad de respuesta a clientes que buscan prestaciones mejoradas. En conjunto, estas versiones y opciones de propulsión permiten a la Tundra satisfacer las necesidades de clientes que desean una camioneta lista para el trabajo, comodidad de alta gama, rendimiento todoterreno y versatilidad para el día a día.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- #Evs--Satisfaction among luxury auto brands falls to match mass-market as hybrids remain the highest-rated vehicle type, according to the ACSI.

On July 20, 2026, we conducted a DCF analysis for Toyota Motor Corp (TM) to assess its intrinsic value in the context of its recent price performance. Over the

Source: The White House newsletter

The White House says the investments reflect the administration’s America First manufacturing agenda. For investors, however, the bigger question may be simpler: Which stock looks like the best buy?

Three Companies, Three Very Different Investment ProfilesToyota is investing $3.6 billion to shift Tacoma pickup truck production from Mexico to its San Antonio, Texas, plant. Micron pledged another $3 billion toward its U.S. manufacturing expansion, while General Motors announced a $275 million domestic investment commitment.

While the announcements share the same theme—more manufacturing in America—the stocks tell three very different stories.

Toyota Quietly Leads the PackAt first glance, Micron appears to have the strongest momentum.

Toyota presents almost the opposite profile.

The automaker earns a 99.44 Value score—one of the highest in the market—along with an equally impressive 98.75 Quality score and an 84.09 Growth score. Its only weak spot is Momentum, indicating the stock hasn’t participated in the kind of rally seen across many AI-linked names.

GM Sits Between the TwoGeneral Motors lands somewhere in the middle.

Its 71.94 Value score suggests it still screens as relatively inexpensive, while a 66.75 Momentum score points to respectable recent performance. However, the automaker trails both Toyota and Micron in Growth and Quality, making it a less balanced investment profile according to the rankings.

The Bigger Investment StoryThe White House is highlighting billions of dollars flowing into American factories.

Wall Street, however, may be paying closer attention to where investors can find the best combination of value, quality, growth and momentum.

Among the three companies making this week’s biggest U.S. manufacturing commitments, Toyota stands out as the strongest all-around fundamental play, while Micron remains the momentum favorite fueled by the AI boom. General Motors offers a traditional value proposition but doesn’t score as consistently across the broader ranking system.

La inversión permitirá el montaje de vehículos Tacoma, además de Tundra, Sequoia y ejes traseros

, /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) anunció su inversión de $3,600 millones en la ampliación de su planta de fabricación en San Antonio con una segunda línea de montaje de vehículos destinada a la fabricación de camionetas Tacoma. La ampliación permitirá generar 2,000 nuevos puestos de trabajo de alta calidad y añadir 2.5 millones de pies cuadrados a Toyota Texas, lo que duplicará su tamaño para 2030.

Toyota anuncia una ampliación por $3,600 millones y 2,000 nuevos empleos en su planta de San Antonio, una inversión que permitirá el montaje de vehículos Tacoma, además de Tundra, Sequoia y ejes traseros. TMNA efectuará el traslado de la producción de Tacoma desde Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California (TMMBC) a la planta Toyota Texas ampliada durante un período de aproximadamente cuatro años.

"La inversión continua de Toyota en Norteamérica es testimonio de nuestra confianza en la fuerza laboral, la innovación y el potencial de crecimiento a largo plazo de la región", señaló Ted Ogawa, presidente y director ejecutivo de TMNA. "Con la ampliación de nuestra planta de San Antonio, estamos profundizando nuestro compromiso con el sector manufacturero estadounidense, generamos empleos imporrtantes y sostenibles, a la vez que promovemos nuestra misión de entregar vehículos de alta calidad que satisfagan las necesidades cambiantes tanto de los clientes actuales como de los futuros".

Después de un proceso altamente competitivo, esta ampliación destaca el compromiso de Toyota con Texas como un centro esencial de innovación automotriz y excelencia en fabricación.

"Texas es el origen de la fabricación a gran escala y Toyota revalida esa convicción con una ampliación de $3,600 millones en San Antonio que duplicará la superficie de su fábrica y generará 2,000 puestos de trabajo nuevos", comentó el gobernador Abbott de Texas. "Esta inversión a la altura de la magnitud de Texas refleja la solidez de nuestra fuerza laboral y las ventajas comerciales sin precedentes que solo se encuentran en nuestro estado. Con el apoyo del Texas Enterprise Fund y del programa JETI, esta ampliación permitirá ofrecer oportunidades económicas a generaciones de familias de San Antonio y consolidará aún más a Texas como el principal destino de fabricación avanzada de primer nivel".

Esta inversión reciente permitirá añadir otra línea de montaje a la planta en Toyota Texas, la que ya incorpora una línea de montaje de vehículos y una nueva planta de ejes traseros que iniciará sus operaciones próximamente.

"Estamos muy orgullosos del equipo de Texas y de sus logros durante las últimas dos décadas", afirmó Frank Voss, vicepresidente del grupo de fabricación de camionetas en TMNA y presidente de Toyota Texas. "Los 2,000 acres de terrenos de propiedades en el sur de Texas donde se erige actualmente nuestra planta fueron seleccionados de manera deliberada por su potencial de ampliación conforme a la demanda de vehículos y esta fecha marca el primer paso para concretar este potencial. Nos complace enormemente sumar la querida Tacoma a nuestra línea galardonada existente y queremos agradecer al estado de Texas, al condado de Bexar y a la ciudad de San Antonio por su apoyo de larga data".

Esta ampliación eleva la inversión total de Toyota en San Antonio a $8,300 millones desde su fundación en 2003. El nuevo centro aportará mayor flexibilidad a la planta gracias a tecnologías de fabricación avanzadas y estará alineada con las operaciones más amplias de Toyota en Norteamérica. Toyota mantiene el compromiso con sus operaciones en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México, y promueve la resolución rápida del Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá (T-MEC) para lograr competitividad a nivel mundial en la región de Norteamérica.

"Durante dos décadas, Toyota demostró ser un socio leal y dedicado en esta comunidad", expresó el juez Peter Sakai del condado de Bexar. "Esta es la segunda inversión trascendental de la planta en dos años. Toyota sigue honrando sus compromisos aquí y esta interesante iniciativa evidencia la confianza que tiene una de las principales empresas del mundo tanto en el presente como en el futuro del condado de Bexar".

La plantilla local de empleados de Toyota ascenderá a aproximadamente 6,000 miembros del equipo, respaldados por 23 proveedores locales y sus empleados.

"Para San Antonio, es un honor albergar a Toyota y nos complace que nos hayan seleccionado para la ampliación adicional", comentó la alcaldesa de San Antonio, Gina Ortiz Jones. "Esto constituye un reconocimiento importante del talento que ofrece nuestra ciudad, así como de las inversiones que nuestra comunidad está dispuesta a realizar para apoyar el crecimiento de Toyota. Esperamos la expansión de la familia Toyota en San Antonio".

Durante casi 20 años, Toyota Texas ha fabricado camionetas y SUV de calidad superior; solo el año pasado, ensamblaron más de 197,000 vehículos. La planta de San Antonio es la sede exclusiva de los modelos Tundra y Sequoia, los que se ensamblan en la misma línea de producción y se comenzarán a producir en su nueva planta de ejes traseros este otoño.
