This is hilarious, Toyota is just giving this pos away for almost nothing and still hardly anyone takes it. - https://www.motor1.com/news/464435/2021-toyota-mirai-big-price-discount/
So the old Mirai, which cost $60k, Toyota supposedly lost somewhere ~$90k per car. The new one, they reduced the price by $10k and then added $20k discount. Plus $15k in free fuel. Add $4.5k CA tax credit and the effective price is down to ~$10k. Plus add 0% financing for 72 months, making it a effective payment of $138/month. That should make it the cheapest car in California (or the costliest paper weight depending on time and day of the year). So how many do they sell at this super low price? A grand f#cking figure of 77/month for last 2 months.

But they did announce this today - https://www.motor1.com/news/493528/toyota-x-prologue-teaser/, which makes me happy and little sad. I was hoping they would just bury the head in the sand for few more years till it decays and falls off.

ps. I forgot fed tax credit of $8000. That would make it effectively $2000. Why wouldn't anyone want a $2000 paper weight?

This is waaaaayyy too harsh and over the top imo

The Mirai is a technical powerhouse and should be applauded.

Hydrogen is quite dirty according to experts and stupid according to California's Electric Messiah who even dubbed hydrogen fuel cells as "hydrogen fool sells".



And yet... California has the largest hydrogen fueling station in all of the USA. They've got fifty two H2 fueling stations and they have plans to open fifty five more H2 fueling stations

The whole irony, though is that hydrogen is said to be dirty and stupid and yet the most environmentally conscious state in America is betting big on this dirty and stupid technology.

But then again it's California... The state that wants to ban fossil fuel powered cars, but wants to burn more fossil fuel to avert blackouts. Fossil fuels to the rescue!

GM's entire BEV portfolio has been outsold by a hydrogen powered Toyota. ?

Not kidding, you can google that up. Sales of the Chevy Bolt EV and GMC Hummer EV combined against sales of the Toyota Mirai in the first quarter of 2022.

I’ve been in Oslo this week, what really surprised me was how many of these I saw driving around.

Google Trends shows that in the last 12 months, the Toyota Mirai has been mostly "googled" in Portugal, Netherlands, Latvia, Norway and Poland.

Hydrogen fuel stations are pretty scarce, so would it be possible to make a hydrogen fuel cell car that can also be recharged from a charging station?
