Had my jeep EV totaled and need another car thats cheap to drive. EVs are kinda slim pickings in the same budget (sub 300/mo). Considering getting a Mirai for 180/mo and becoming the next @dualipa . Any downside to this plan?
Somebody say $180mo Mirai?
Only downside will be Hydrogen Shortage-depending where you live… I SOLD all my other EV’s and now only rely on the 2023 Mirai and it has been great so far…Still have $11K left on my fuel card and only 8200 miles driven in 3 years…I do drive about 40 miles to refuel but not a huge deal. I haven’t seen the $180 but a $250/mo is doable with @Cody_Carter unless something changed since last month.
If fuel is not available Toyota will give a FREE RENTAL car on a weekly basis (if no fuel within 15 miles of where you live) I haven’t called them yet, but maybe I will this Monday to save the mileage and fuel card…
FYI-Heard that they may be only selling to previous Mirai owners because of the fuel shortages now.
Bad day: You have to take the bus to work because there is no fuel.
Good day: You waste an hour getting fuel.
Haha,
Yeah leases get no support, but purchase is like a cheap monthly “LEASE” with FREE FUEL
if you can “spare” some time finding fuel lol
Toyota rebates $35,000 ![]()
hope nobody considering a Mirai missed this.
This is the @dualipa lifestyle
Aren’t there Ioniq 5s leasing for sub $300/mo?
Yep-it’s just “temporary” 40 miles…I have a station two blocks from work or 13 miles from home that I use but due to the hydrogen accident at a distributor that resulted in a death back in March they don’t deliver to the gaseous stations until they deem safe to do so… I still don’t mind the 40 miles as I regularly travel that way anyway and if I’m bored go for a refuel hahaha
Still a great car FYI, very planted and quiet cabin. I’d get another one WHEN fuel stations get more stable and closer to me…
“Hydrogen accident that resulted in death” doesn’t dissuade you? ![]()
Nope-not a bit…it could’ve been a user error, old equipment, lack of maintenance on truck etc,
no details available
But the cars are the safest…bulletproof haha
Not as worried about the car.
Worried about getting kaboomed while filling up. ![]()
Naah, more dangerous to fill up GAS than H2 ![]()
