I had a look up close and personal with the Toyota Mirai. It was interesting. Some of you know these things but I will state them anyway:
1) Not a bad looking car and almost as big as the Model S. Plenty of rear leg room and nicer than most econo-boxes.
2) Under the hood is a full engine that burns fuel cells and no emissions. It has a water tank for the vapor burnoff which is emptied with a valve by the owner.
3) According to the rep. 350 mile range
4) He said Toyota is/will put in hydrogen fill stations all along the East coast ( Have not seen any yet)
5)Counts towards Fed tax credit
6) Turn wheel for the gear shift (hate that)
7) $58,000 before credits
Toyota is "all in " on the hydrogen train and spending hundreds of millions for a concept Elon calls "just dumb". I tend to agree but I assume Toyota believes this will be the future. Sort of like the Sony Blueray/ HD DVD format wars
I think Toyota is destined to be the HD DVD cousin
and may bring Canada down with them?
