Kind of surprised they sold the car today him in the first place. In the US, as I understand it, the Toyota Hydrogen program, all of the vehicles are leased, perhaps to prevent just this thing but also to actually protect the consumer from having a worthless used car.
Perhaps the original vehicles were subsidized by Hyundai, but this part is “actual price “ with the expectation that we’re it ever to be used, it would be under warranty.
Could just be on the wrong side of accounting gimmicks that companies use, especially on experimental development vehicles.
- sbradford26 3y agoI believe you can purchase a Toyota Mirai but it doesn't make much sense to. On lease you get $15000 in free hydrogen to be used in 3 years. If you purchase it outright you get the same 15k but you get 6 years to use that. But your resale value after that is going to be terrible since the next owner will actually have to pay for hydrogen(And it isn't cheap), so you are better off just leasing.
