Here's the Toyota website. $7500 Trailblazer Cash and $15k in fuel.
Offer Details | Local Toyota Offers | NorthernCalifornia.BuyAToyota.com
Edit in case the link is location-based. $7500 + $15000 + $5000 = $27,500 of incentives. These things are going to be flying off the shelves.

You said $15k fuel card is for used Mirasi, that I quoted at around $15k.
The link is for "An ARTICLE" about new Mirai deal during a brief period of fuel shortage.
You guys need to do better here.
And the article just talks about hearsay but posts no solid proof. These FUD authors also need to do better.
@ohmman, that $7500 is there ever since fed tax credit of $8k was withdrawn for FCEVs. Notign new there.
The article speaks of an additional $15000 discount for a NEW Mirai, for a brief period, and still has NO LINK.
But the original message made it sound like those free cars are plentiful and I could find one easily.

It's still a $15k fuel card for a Mirai. Although I do question the value since that $15k is going to go quick of if costs $20 in fuel to drive to fill up... IF the nearest H2 station isn't offline
Although to some extent I have to hand it to toyota. The H2 lure is tailor made for intransigent people that hate change. Give's them the perfect out. 'I'm waiting for a fuel cell car to kick the petrol habit'; 'There are H2 cars you say? Unfortunately I live in not CA... ' I have an uncle like that.... he really likes fuel cell cars because he can't have one and it's the perfect excuse to keep his current gas guzzler

I gave you a link to Toyota’s page. And a graphic screen shot. Give it up.

?? Give up what? @nwdiver claimed $15k free hydrogen on USED Mirais., but produced no link.
Then you post a link of $15k fuel card on a NEW Mirai, that pretty much everyone knows about.
Did you read the prior posts and understand the context?
Post a link of USED Mirai selling for under $17k with $15k fuel card.
I quoted what you said. You suggested that it didn’t exist for a NEW Mirai (your emphasis) and I showed it.

@ohmman, please quote my message. Don't just say that I said something. It doesn't look good that you claim I said something but can't quote that message.
Who doesn't know about $15k free fuel on new hydrogen cars? It's even there on cafcp website.
were you thinkign that I am not aware of this so commonly known fact?
To get back on topic, here is some new development in China. Not sure anyone posted it earlier.
China’s ‘Elon Musk’ Sees Big Future For Hydrogen Cars | OilPrice.com
Key points:
* Only 12 stations with 1500 FC cars today
*1 mill car chargers for 2M electric cars? That's crazy 2:1 ratio!
* Shanghai opened up 1920 kg/day h2 station
* Toyota working with Foton to bring cars, vans, trucks.
When will Real Elon Musk switch sides and join #teamhydrogen?
* Signing off for today. Gotta get some work done.

I'd say act now before it's gone... but let's be honest... there's probably no rush.
When will Real Elon Musk switch sides and join #teamhydrogen?
When you can drive a FCV >200 miles with 100kWh of Electrical grid energy. So... when the laws of physics change.

There you go. Maybe English isn’t your primary language (Arab American News/Breitbart) and you misspoke. But you did indeed say it.

That is a curious advertisement.
If the car has 36,000 miles on it, and it costs about $70 to drive 300 miles...that card should have ~$7,000 left.
The owner getting free H2 from somewhere? Do not all stations take the free fuel cards?

He has me on ignore, so he can't see it. Therefore it doesn't exist. For him.
If it weren't so ugly I would jump in. We need one more car in this price range.
I will back up @nwdiver on the San Francisco thing. Toyota screens people before leasing the Mirai. You have to either live or work within a reasonable distance from a filling station. So, imagine someone who lives in San Francisco and works in San Mateo. They drive past the South San Francisco filling station on their commute. When that station is working, it's fine. Not much different than filling gas. However, when that station has no fuel supply for 3 months, there's no way they're going to drive all the way down to Palo Alto for fuel. That extra distance is hellish during commute hours. I would ask Toyota for a gas loaner car because the Mirai is unusable in that situation.
Not so far from the truth... Sewage-powered hydrogen fueling station opens in CA - Roadshow
And this is what they said a decade ago... Hydrogen Vehicles Coming Soon? Two Million Could Be On Roads By 2020

@ohmman You are just digging a deeper and deeper hole. You missed the context entirely. I reserve comments on your comprehension skills.
@nwdiver was feeling all excited to have found proof that no one wants these cars in CA.
@nwdiver Did you just pick this from another H2 FUD article on some other pro-EV site? Another of the bogus posting by the author?
It looks like a scam for sure. First clue was already pointed out.
Second clue: 99% fo Mirais are leased. What is the chance some odd private owner buys it and posts a scam like ad?
Third clue: It is near Santa Monica. That doesn't have the fuel shortage.
The card also has name, and it comes in two chunks I believe. There are some doubts about teh card claim also. If ti was from a dealer, I could understand.
i looked it up on cars.com. No such listing.
I contacted the seller. but I doubt I hear anything from the scammer or author.
Exactly! I will give @nwdiver credit to have even found this scam post, true to his claim.

Must have missed it among too many heckler posts, some by yourself. You gave me a good idea.

True. These are the 25% people most severely impacted and are the most unhappy ones.
Toyota etc. are giving them free rentals. Which also helps relieve the fuel shortage for others. HOV access can be the issue for some. Some exceptional ones are driving all the way to San Ramon from Mill Valey, Oakland etc.
But they don't have to commute exactly during the commute hours. They could go out at lunch hour, decide to have lunch at Palo Alto, for example.
Good news for that area. At least 3 new ones expected to open in San Francisco late 2019. 3 more on other side of bay.

'proud' of her car? that is just strange./YAY!.. you found 1
I like my S a lot. proud of it? that is just really weird.
