Got excited when i got the email, then realized it was for Cali.
Someone might want to take advantage of the deal.

Calling Cody to âexplain the deal in laymanâs termsâ
Hehe
Edit : Nevermind, this is already on his site and at a better price than this ad.
You get the $7500 but itâs still almost $500/month for a car.
Iâve shipped a couple to NorCal this week.
I see these every so oftenâŚlittle puffs of steam and some dribbling water out of the tailpipe, usually following acceleration.
The local station usually has 2-4 cars lined up for the single pump.
Have a question. Whatâs the point of making MSRP higher if Toyota is going to give $20,000 subvention?
Owners seem to be driving them rather conservativelyâŚusually lane 3 or 4âŚthey seem to want to stay out of everyoneâs way. Reminds me of when Prius was first introduced, before they migrated into the HOV fast lanes, and now go slow in lane 1, because they think they own it.
Production cost is like $150k.
Are these only available in Cali? None show in inventory for NJ.
You might notice that there are almost zero Stations outside of CA.

There arenât any hydrogen filling stations outside of CA. I assume Toyota wouldnât sell you a car you couldnât fill up.
Best hydrogen car write-up I remember⌠still, it may work for some folks.
Yeah, I searched and figured that out after I asked.
Another question, @Cody_Carter says production costs is $150k, MSRP is $50-60k and Toyota provides a 20k credit and 15k in fuel cards, so how do they make money with these?
They donât. I bet itâs to get some CA credits or meet some other goal that CA set.
And by acceleration you mean 0 to 60 in 15sâŚ
Itâs about credits. Every Mirai is like selling 4 Prius for credits
Per car, youâve got to be joking.
There WAS one for sale in NJ awhile back!
Are these a headache to own? My parents are shopping for an EV, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen fuel cell right now since they just qualified for the Clean Cars for All program in California, they are receiving $9500 award if they purchase any of those types of cars.
How many filling stations do they have in close proximity of where they live and where they normally drive? If the answer points to a single point of failure for fill stations, expect huge headaches at the worst possible time from the station being down, long refilling times, etc. Right now, the infrastructure for hydrogen cars is pathetic for all but a few corner cases.
