After a few days of research, I took a test drive then pulled the trigger last week.
I absolutely love the car and this is a bonkers deal.
I did a blog post where I pulled together everything I learned about the car and the deal. I also added my first fueling experience.

I hope the info helps some of you make your choice. This is a niche car so it's not for everyone, but there's a lot of benefits if you can deal with the issues of owning a hydrogen car.
what's your insurance like for this one? I'd be curious as to what the annual insurance and registration costs are...

Short term, electric is better, even with the finite resources needed to produce the batteries.

The answer maybe because Toyota can afford to.
TLDR:
Almost all car companies are selling their BEVs and FCEVs at a loss. All legacy car companies, besides Toyota, need to quicky reduce their carbon emissions required by all governments. Toyota's Prius sales provides them the luxury to scatter their eggs as BEV is a proven tech car model that they can jump in at any time.
1) Toyota is the #1 car maker in the world in terms of volume and revenue (not sure about profits but probably up at the very top).
2) Almost all legacy car manufacturers are paying hundreds of millions, and even billions, per year in carbon fines and/or purchase carbon tax credits from the likes of Tesla (that's how Tesla is profitable).
3) These legacy car companies have no choice but to fully adopt the proven Tesla model to make and sell mass production BEV cars. The cost of the carbon fines and purchasing these credits are continue to increase as governments keep raising their requirements.
4) Toyota is not just the #1 legacy car company but has also been the leader and #1 hybrid car company since the introduction of the wildly successful Prius in 1997 (24 years ago)!!! The Prius, and other hybrids, phev, and even pure small production pure Rav-EV (with Tesla battery and tech) have give Toyota a huge cushion on what direction they can invest R&D money rather than pay millions or billions carbon fines or buy carbon tax credits.
5) There is no doubt BEVs are the future but honestly the "future" just isn't here yet and ICE and Hybrids are the present at least for the next 5-10 years.
6) We will see an explosion of models and adoption of BEVs by 2030 as battery technology improves, still not there, and increase in charger infrastructure. There also the power grid challenge that highly populated states and metropolitan areas will have to address to accommodate all the BEVs that will need charging whether at home or at superfast charging stations.
7) Hydrogen is here to stay, maybe less likely in light passenger vehicles, but the tech has been around for a long time and it is more practical in other different applications such as heavy machinery, such as trucks and planes. There actually is a consensus that hydrogen is the future(future-most) for some applications. So Toyota says why not spend some luxury cash they have on this R&D.
It's generally not a good idea to have unpaid taxes beyond the end of the year. You'll incur unnecessary penalties and interest.
There's been a lot of discussion on this point but no definitive answer. I might just do the withholding change to be safe. Probably pay a bit of interest but, penalties?
People are purchasing assuming it will go to zero (worst case scenario). Take a test drive and you will see how nice it feels and rides.
Let's say hydrogen tech is gone 6 years from now, parts in this car are worth some good dollars. The platinum in the converter and the carbon fiber on the 3 fuel tanks alone are worth a lot.

I may have overstated the penalties and interest. If you owe taxes beyond end of the year as a one-off, you're not going to be penalized as long as your payment is received by Apr 15th.
