IMHO Toyota has to fall because its not very smart CEO completely missed the electric vehicle boom. Please do not think I am saying this because I am a Tesla fan. I think Tesla is very overvalued. But the Chinese will do to Toyota and others what Toyota and the other Japanese OEMs did to GM and Ford. Of course Tesla will also feast on the body of Toyota and Honda, but it also will suffer.

"Missed" isn't quite right. Toyota knew about the problem and came to a different conclusion. For the foreseeable future, battery and Hydrogen power are not the answer. The grid isn't close to supporting cars yet.

Nobody sells more electrified cars than Toyota. They don't offer many BEV models (only CH-R/Izoa in China, Lexus UXe and now starting BZ4x worldwide) but they have HEV, PHEV, Mirai (hydrogen) selling worldwide. They know their way very well: there's no point to offer now an electric Yaris for the price of an hybrid Corolla or a BEV Corolla pricier than a Camry or RAV4 (and with a lower practical range, nobody wants to wait 30' in the charging station to be able to resume a long journey). People aren't stupid and will not buy it. It's a tough balance between keep selling about 10 Million car/year and develop the next generation of batteries and support the creation of an hydrogen supply network. Tesla Semi is still on the paper but there are Toyota Hydrogen Buses and Trucks already in service and final developing tests. All this is extremely expensive and requires huge know how, no way any newborn Chinese company will destroy well established and profitable automotive companies.

Correlation != CAUSATION.  Stuff is falling regardless... some loud mouthed greens do not mean jack for the share price.
