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.

Agreed it does not matter on a lease.
I tried searching toyota.com for inventory but it wpuld ask you to look for *local* dealers which all want you to first sell yourself (I mean putting in info) before letting you know they don't have it. Scam!
Add insurance and registration… if both are negligible compared to your current drive then I'd say go for it.
74k fired this year so far

They might be decent enough products, but many social liberals and progressives don't want Teslas due to Musk's political posture, while many reactionaries and culture warriors don't want EVs at all because they think they threaten their freedom.
What a load of BS.
Opposition to EVs is a combination of petroleum industry astroturfing and reactionary nonsense.
1. EVs don't destroy the environment. They're an imperfect emerging tech that is rapidly enabling reduction of environmental impact.
2. ICEs have a far higher chance of catching fire than BEVs. Hybrids are worse than either.
