I negotiated 33k OTD financed at 0%/72 months for the XLE + tech package and pre-installed accessories. This is before the rebates and credits that we all qualify for. I thought I got a stellar deal but my family members were able to do even better! YMMV depending on sales tax zip code, dealer doc fees, etc. We figured that as long as the H2 pumps are around for the next 6 years (or life of the fuel card), the car can be worth $0 at the end of the 72 month 0% interest finance, and it would have served it's purpose.
Initial impressions: Luxurious and comfortable ride at the cost of interior space. This is strictly a work commuter vehicle for me so space is not a concern. I've been commuting 40 miles round trip in a Stinger GT2 so it's my only comparison. For the standard 5 days a week commuting in Socal traffic, I realize I prefer the signature plain Jane Toyota/Lexus sedan experience over a high horsepower, sporty sedan. I also prefer the silence of the fuel cell motor over the exaggerated combustion engine sounds of the GT2, especially in "Sport mode" the piped engine noises become somewhat obnoxious (to me at least).
Tech wise, the Mirai XLE has about the same bells and whistles as the GT2. Some differences here and there but about equal all things considered. The GT2 sound system is significantly better than the Mirai to my ears and probably the one thing I'll notice when swapping between the two cars. I haven't played around with the Mirai audio settings, but it lacks the soundstage and warmth that I'm used to with the GT2.
Build wise, the Mirai feels very well assembled given that it's one of the few Toyotas assembled in Japan. I realize this could be my personal perception of Japanese manufacturing though. Perhaps it's a new car thing, but the Mirai chassis feels taut behind the wheel compared to the GT2. Some parts of the Mirai feel very budget conscious while other parts have a high end feel. For example, the trunk and glove box in the Mirai feel like they're imported from a no frills Corolla, but all 4 doors feel premium as you would expect from a Lexus sedan.
All told, I intend to keep the GT2 and relegate it to the spirited weekend driver it was meant to be and daily drive the Mirai. Having two vehicles will alleviate the anxiety of H2 pumps going down for extended periods. I most likely would not have purchased this if it were to be my only vehicle. I have read that Toyota has taken great care of Mirai owners by fully covering rentals during weeks/months long H2 shortage for what it's worth.
Regarding insurance, YMMV, I was quoted 800/year through Costco/Ameriprise for 100/300k coverage for my driving habits. Includes $8 premium per 6 months for Costco's version of Gap coverage that replaces the vehicle in the event of a total loss.
I have 2 Mirais. I love them, but I'm also close to a station near home-UCI and near work-Diamond Bar. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient.
Right now I use as a commuter car and wife as a run around soccer mom car. Any road trip travel would be through the Toyota free rental program.
Look it up.. No one, I mean Toyota has never sold a Mirai without over $20k mark down from MSRP. How much money will Toyota lose before they decide to end it? Lease!!!
I'm not ready this limited use vehicle yet!

I has Toyota Sienna and a Kia PHEV. I was aiming to get the Tesla Y, still in my future. after seeing this deal, I did lots of research.
Here is my story:
1) Test drove
2) Negotiated with two dealerships (SF and Dublin)
3) Took a week to think about it.
4) Did more research about FCEV, fueling stations, chatted with other and previous Mirai owners, read and watch crap loads or articles and videos on the web.
5) Dragged my entire family to test drive it again
6) Decided to get rid of my Sienna for the Mirai
7) Turned in my leased Kia Niro PHEV and bought a used Leaf
8) I still have the luxury to buy another car if this experiment become too much of a headache.
9) My family doesn't drive very far often, and never driving out of California. We fly when we do.
* I have three hydro fueling stations within 15-20 mina. including a green hydro fueling station location in Emeryville. This is where the hydrogen is from renewable energy. let's be serious, most of us consumers priority is convenience and deals, green is just a plus.
* I can get all the incentives
* I've accepted that there's a good chance these are all the hydrogen stations that there ever will be for the entire time I plan to own this car 6yrs ($15K fuel)
* I plan to get rid of this car when my fuel card is up unless in the remote chance hydrogen fuel drops to at least gas prices
* I don't plan to get much if any back when I get rid of this car
* Rough ownership of this Mirai for 6ish years is about $7-15K and I am good with it because I just love how this car looks and drives.

EVs are clearly the way now, you wont find many legacy ICE products that will achieve the levels of efficiency or pollution by comparison, not even close, even in the most backwards states with the dirtiest energy generation.

Do California Vehicle Taxes Apply to Trade-Ins and Rebates?
California's vehicle taxes apply to the vehicle's full price before trade-in credits or rebates are applied. Many dealerships offer credits for trade-ins that decrease your out-of-pocket cost for the vehicle. For example, you may get a $5000 credit for a trade in that you can apply toward a $15,000 car. You will only pay $10,000 for your vehicle, but the state still taxes you for the full $15,000 purchase.
Similarly, a dealership may offer a manufacturer rebate or other incentive that reduces the price of your vehicle. As an example, you might enjoy a $1000 rebate for the $15,000 car. You will only pay $14,000 for the car, but you will still pay taxes on the full $15,000 sticker price.

A tax credit goes against the total amount of taxes you have to pay. If you have other tax deductions or credits that lower the total amount you owe below $7500 you will not get the full benefit of the tax credit being discussed here.
