Toyota had bought about 3 percent of Tesla for $50 million in 2010. 。
The Japanese company had said, at the time, that it was impressed by "Tesla's start-up culture", with Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, calling the partnership "historic". 。
Thanks for signing up!。
The companies went on to jointly develop the RAV4 electric vehicle, of which some 2,500 were sold. 。
But the gap between the two companies ultimately proved too wide to bridge.。
"Incredibly dumb."。
In 2014, Toyota sold part of its stake in Tesla. 。
Toyota formed its own unit to develop electric cars in November 2016, investing heavily in hydrogen fuel cells -- a technology which Elon Musk has called "incredibly dumb." 。
Toyota's long-range electric vehicles are expected to launch around 2020. 。
