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

Is Your buddy is a moron and don't know how to read simple battery indicator or plan a trip? How would that even happen, huh?
Also, depending on residual value at lease end, may even worth purchasing to use to trade in another car with as the $14k - $16k credit applied gives the car enough value to make your next purchase cheaper if you decide on not keeping it.

Its got poor range relative to most new EVs. Slowish charging too. What else?
But yes the range isnt that great but as long as your daily commute is not long then it doesnt really apply much. Mainly affects you in road trips as charging takes longer
Without the tax advantage then it is not worth it to lease (unless you want a new car every 3 years). But in this case if someone can get it at this lease payment of < $150 per month, it is still worth it.

You don't get this for long trips. It's designed to be a daily. If you use it as such, I doubt you'll run into many problems.

*only in the EV space. Their gasoline engines are trash and prone to fires that would make Bolt owners blush.
