I wouldn't want and keep burning gas till then though. With new manufacturing processes like this, delays are common, and it'll likely be pricey at first. I'm excited, but don't use this as an excuse to keep burning gas.

Look at Toyota's lobbying history. It's a load. They push the hardest against EV mandates.
