I went to Hamer Toyota and they had balls to mark those up 3k plus 1k gps add-on. Came to $56.5k with no negotiation because stimulus money is here and dealers wants it all. Sad state

Hydrogen Fuel cell is exempt from CA rebate income limits.

"The income cap applies for all eligible vehicle types except fuel-cell electric vehicles."

Hydrogen costs about $17/kg. The Mirai has a capacity of 5.6kg and can drive up to 400 miles, best case. $95/tank. For the same miles in an EV costs about $14.
Supercharger in socal is 35 cents per kwh. I average 316 wh/mi. Or 126400 wh/400miles or 126.4 kwh/400 or $44.24 for 400 miles. Which is about what I was paying for my 50 mpg honda hybrid.

A low-end Toyota is going to feel like a low-end Toyota. This car is built at the Lexus plant in Japan. It's basically a Lexus that got a Toyota badge. https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-...car-report [com.au]
Sounds like it might be a great candidate to switch back to gasoline.... When one cannot obtain hydrogen and it does not appear like electric is going to take a backseat with VW now coming on strong with partners to compete with Tesla that is all in house, what are you going to do with this?

I have no idea the cost per mile driven to produce hydrogen, but electric is relatively cheap... and both still require the so called fossil fuels intended to replace. There are so many wind generators broken and shut down across the country, without further taxpayer funding, they are just part of the landscape. Solar is great, but got to have sun... and none at night when people are charging their cars.

the catch is hydrogen is not catching on and you can't fill up anywhere. I was waiting and waiting for one of the "planned" hydrogen stations to open near me and eventually gave up this year and bought a plugin hybrid instead.

Does anyone knows if the Toyota finance works for people on Visa?

I live in bay area and I'm interested in the car, I can put a large down payment (as long as I can take advantage of the 20K for using their finance service)

Seems like a good deal and the car looks really nice

I'm about to finish my 3 year lease on my VW Jetta and if I can get this deal I will just return the car

Hi @ExtremeOak,
Quote from ExtremeOak :
California $4500 is a "rebate" first come first serve (with income restrictions $300k for married filing joint) and Federal $8,000 is a tax credit.
In your OP, I saw the following.

which is probably referring to
Quote :
Applicants are not eligible for CVRP rebates if their gross annual incomes are above the following thresholds: $150,000 for single filers, $204,000 for head-of-household filers, or $300,000 for joint filers. The income cap applies for all eligible vehicle types except fuel-cell electric vehicles.

For the post that I'm replying to, did you mean that the "income restrictions $300k" part does not apply for buying this 2021 Mirai, correct?

How does the availability of the Mirais and different colors from what you've learned?

Thank you.

What would be the benefit of putting down a large initial payment if there's 0% APR (and I'm assuming there must be some type of auto-pay mechanism involved so we don't have to remember due dates)?

Yes. You are correct, there is no income restriction on the Mirai for the California rebate BUT it is first come first serve until the fund runs dry AND there is currently about a 3- 4 month turnaround time on the rebate.

As far as availability, I've seen the larger dealerships have a good selection. I wouldn't worry about availability. The only concern is that the $20k manufacturers rebate ends by the end of the month.

Thank you for the quick reply and clarification.

I wonder if the dealerships will still have them a few days before end of month when I'll return to Bay Area. Maybe they'll be even more motivated to sell if that coincides with their month/quarter end.

One of my friends actually had a 3 year lease on a Mirai that just recently ended. After hearing about what they had to go through to fill up at the hydrogen stations, I'd never buy a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. An especially cringeworthy experience at the pumps was that the pin inside the fuel valve (pump side) froze while they were fueling up on a cold winter night in SoCal, so they had to wait 2 hours for it to defrost before they can disengage and go home.

The other items I will consider, are the cost of insurance and registration. Both of these items are going to be higher (twice as much) for the Mirai vs the Camry.

You don't have an L2 charger at home? I'm in the Bay Area, on the EV-A rate plan. About $0.15/kw if I charge after 11pm.

Yes, Superchargers are about the same price as gas, usually a little cheaper though. Unfortunately, for people without home or free work charging, driving an EV isn't as cheap.

I just noticed there is a thread about this in SD, and wanting to share our case in San Jose. We saw the 2021 Mirai deal on last Wednesday, and picked up the car on Friday. We opted to finance and not lease since we are planning for 5-6 years on this car.

Price breakdown: The car we got is XLE + advance tech package with MSRP 52.3k, negotiated 5k off MSRP. This comes to 47.3k + tax minus 20k Toyota rebate and took advantage of the 0% 72month finance offer. With both 8k Fed tax credit and 4.5k CA rebate accounted for, our out the door price is about $19.5k. In addition, we received the 15k fuel card for 6 years (purchase) and 21 free rental days within 3 year. The car comes with 3 years/35000 miles of ToyotaCare maintenance for free.

Use case analysis: The car will be used mainly for work commute and occasional day trips to Napa or Big Sur, and we have a Tesla plus a gas car in the household. Also, there are 3 hydrogen stations within 5 miles with couple more in permit phase. The nearest station is
Can you please share how much you put down and what your monthly payments are? Assuming is 72 months. Thx
