Toyota's white elephant

When i first saw this car on the lot and all the high end features it had i thought it was an insanely cheap price. it was not certified so no 15k fuel card with it but i dont drive a lot so i figured it was worth the 12k i paid for it with only 8988 miles on it, it was pretty much new. then a few times i would go to fuel it and the fueling station pump would be out of order. This got worse and worse and the fueling stations were a 60 mile round trip to fuel. at $70 cost to fill it, wasting money driving to a working fuel station wasn't worth the aggravation. The fact that this car is only drivable in northern and southern CA , means not out of state trips (except for Reno if the Sacramento & lake taho hydrogen stations a working). I finally got fed up with this problem and traded it in for a gas powered camry. Save your money and forget about hydrogen, it is not worth the irritation you will constantly suffer owning this white elephant. it's trade in value is horrible! i lost about 5k on the trade in value of this car & it's also only good for ten years as printed on the gas lid. i guess the tanks aren't supposed to be fueled after that time. The dealer conveniently left out that part when i purchased the car. Also this car does not get the reviewed mileage per tank that's is bragged about all over YouTube. It is stated that this vehicle is supposed to get 300+ miles on a tank fill. The most i have been able to get is 250 miles per tank and if you're going uphill, expect even less.

High Price for no infrastructure or support

When I bought this car the dealer showed me a bunch of stuff comparing the predicted resale value against other green tech. This car costs $60K, 2.5 years later it is worth less than $10K. Fuel costs have gone up and there is even less of it available. Despite the ridiculously high fuel costs Toyota offers no continued support and you will have no way out because the high price tag and plummeting value mean that you are stuck. Don't buy this car until the infrastructure develops another 5-10 years. Update 2/7/22 - Ended up paying the difference to get out from under the car. Rating is the same.
