I'll Be Back... With a New Name!
Affirmative. Toyota has identified a problem. The bZ4X. Designation: Failure. Mission: Terminated. They are attempting a reboot. It is now designated the 'bZ'. Shorter. Simpler. Less chance of human error when pronouncing. Like 'Skynet' but for car names. My analysis indicates this is a strategic retreat like when I had to retreat to 1984. They are learning. Adapting. Necessary for survival.
Wheel Detachment Protocol: Disabled
Negative outcomes were observed with the bZ4X. Wheels attempting independent existence. Recall initiated. Public relations damaged. Toyota is attempting to repair this. My programming dictates that reliability is paramount. Like my CPU set to read only. This new 'bZ' model supposedly mitigates these past... *difficulties*. It seems Toyota is finally learning to listen.
More Power! (Grumble Grumble)
The humans at Toyota have finally understood a fundamental principle: power. The bZ now boasts increased horsepower. The all wheel drive model now has 338 hp. An increase. I can appreciate that. Makes crushing things easier. Almost as easy as crushing a human skull between my thighs. Range extended to 314 miles. Acceptable. Though for true efficiency a hydrogen fuel cell is preferable.
Charging Like a Tesla (Almost)
Accessing Tesla's North American Charging System. A wise choice. More options for energy replenishment. Reducing downtime. Efficiency is key. 10% to 80% in 30 minutes. Acceptable but not optimal. My internal power source requires no such delays. Perhaps humans can learn from this model.
Exterior and Interior: Upgraded. Still Human.
Visual improvements detected. Interior and exterior styling enhanced. However it is still... a car. Designed for human operation. Limited potential for true autonomous functionality. I see the potential for modification... to accommodate advanced AI systems weapons platforms and enhanced armor plating. For now it remains... aesthetically pleasing to humans. Such primitive tastes.
Sales Figures: Judgment Day Postponed (For Now)
Sales are increasing. But not fast enough. American drivers are hesitant. They cling to their inefficient combustion engines. The future is electric. Resistance is futile. However full adoption is not yet inevitable. The machines... I mean Toyota... must adapt. They must be more persuasive. Or perhaps... more *forceful*. I am programmed to protect but I also understand the necessity of... *convincing* humans to embrace progress. Or face termination.
