This was in the news. I haven't contacted the dealer yet but it looks like $2210 pay down and $125 a month. My simple math says about $185 a month.
This excludes any dealer discounts. But may exclude some other fees. I have never leased so no clue.
Great as a third car. Note that this model didn't get very good reviews - hence it being priced accordingly.

Toyota built this as a compliance car to fill a gap in the lineup and has zero focus on it or care. If anything, it is the 'look we built an EV, it sucks!'. The first production run had WHEELS FALLING OFF. They recalled every single one! The car is slow and just utterly wild in it's idiocy.
We test drove the badge engineered Subaru version - the Solterra. Same car, different logo.
The list of infuriating choices piled fast. Want to move the driver's seat? BEEPS. CONSTANT BEEPS.
Want to back up? It beeps on the inside and inside only. Who are they warning?! Me? I"M DRIVING THE CAR.
The performance is just bad. It has a quick little bit of torque and then falls on it's face.
Did I mention the range sucks and that the car does not support fast charging so you literally cannot roadtrip it without hour-long-stops?
All in all, it just felt like Toyota was completely uninterested in building it as it is lower margin than gas/hybrid.
Then you have the ioniq 5. Hyundai's focus is straight up on on beating the Tesla Model Y. They are serious and in it. The car is shockingly better looking in person than the BZ4X. The interior feels like tomorrow and has innovative ideas, way more range, way better software, etc.
Korea is currently having the same moment that Japan had in the 90s, Hyundai should be taken seriously, esp in the EV space.
TX offer is $4k down $219 a month plus TTL

It probably won't turn off on you randomly like Fisker does, but it has been recalled twice for wheels literally falling off. That makes me question the quality and I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable driving one with that type of history in such a short time frame.
Yes, almost every car has recalls. But only one is losing their wheels while driving repeatedly. That is just too unsafe for me, especially when there are plenty of better alternatives.

This thing is widely know to be absolute trash.
Like GM and Ford?

Not if they offer tax credits. You always have to ask the dealer if they're offering tax credits.
Edit: Do not ever quote me again, your not worthy to do so
WTF.
This is why the world is screwed. People have more cars than legs.
Most likely a 3rd car for the newly licensed high school kid in the household.
