@h2_view @CaFCP Not sure what planet your living on, but the last two years have been horrendous for FCEV drivers

@h2_view @CaFCP Hundreds of disgruntled drivers that suffer undue burdens due to fueling issues.
All FCEV mfg should step up and take back their vehicles if they have caused financial distress for their owners due to promises at time of sale that fuel would be available!
@NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 Now we’re going through yet another H2 shortage.These disclosures aren’t given to customers during the sales process! @ToyotaFinancial could care less & has no issue coming after customers running behind on payments with cars abandoned or stuck in garages

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial Interesting, just got off the phone with @Toyota Executive Office. Wanted to hear my concerns around #FCEV, fueling and my experience with the #Mirai. Didn’t sound promising, same old song and dance, but they will get back to me on Thursday, hope they have empathy 🤞🥺

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @Toyota #Mirai is a failure yet they keep hocking it!

By the end of September 2020 Toyota had sold only 11,100 of its first generation Mirai, almost six years after its launch. Most other automakers have eschewed FCV in favour of electric vehicles (EV).

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota Well as expected, I got blown off by Toyota Executive Office. Basically they want me to go through the Lemon Law process again, which I was denied a few months back.
What I truly find ironic is that the person assigned to me has "Customer First" as part of her auto signature.

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota 12/23/2020 Happy Holidays, NOT, if you need to drive your @ToyotaSoCal #Mirai the brick 🧱 on wheels

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @ToyotaSoCal @Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda, is blind with his own ignorance and can’t grasp the market has changed!

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @ToyotaSoCal Huge missed opportunity by @Toyota, they could have picked up @Tesla for pennies and truly been the leader in BEV.
But instead the world wants Tesla

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @ToyotaSoCal @Tesla Biggest mistake of Akio Toyoda career

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @ToyotaSoCal @Tesla @Tesla leaders continue to talk about their meeting with Akio and cannot believe it. #foolcell

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @ToyotaSoCal @Tesla Update 1/7/21 got a call from @Toyota exec office again today.
Once again Melody towed the corporate line and denied my request to take back their Mirai #foolcell due to unavailability of fuel. We relied on their sales pitch about infrastructure growth & now suffer undue burden!

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota Update 1/7/21, crappy New Year. @Toyota denied my request to take back their POS #foolcell vehicle, not only did I get the #WDGAF letter, but it was followed up by a call from Melody “Customer First” to tell me the same thing!
NEVER 👎 BUY A TOYOTA!

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend our 2021 Mirai averaged 63 mpg-e on our drive...we'd have only managed 300 miles on the tank. It’s imperative to take your driving style into account, especially for long trips!
👆🏻this sucks, at $16.50/kg it’s 5.6 tank = $92 or $3.2 a mile!

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla Model ≡ LR gets 134 MPGe, costs far less $46, is a rocket 🚀 and costs $.16 kW/hr to charge at home. Why would anybody in their right mind buy a @Toyota Mirai that get less MPGe, is slow, only really seats 4 & $6k more?

Our Tesla Model 3 Proves EVs Are Cheaper When Charged at Home

We've averaged 5.5 cents per mile assuming all at-home charging, but using Tesla's Superchargers cost the equivalent of nearly $9 per gallon and roughly double the per-mile cost.

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER Now @Toyota has to pay 💰 $180,000,000 over Clean Air Act violations! The hypocrisy is beyond belief!

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER Toyota also kissed Trump’s ass and wants to reduce MPG!!!!

Toyota’s Defense of Its Choice to Support the Trump Administration’s Auto Standards Rollback Rings Hollow
Sadly, @Toyota Has Ceded Its Place As the Industry’s Environmental Leader

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @elonmusk Sierra Club member Scott Lerner discusses the trial & tribulations around horiffic H2 fuel shortages,unreliable fueling, lack stations.
H2-ca.com reveals that in the 30 minutes it took us to drive the station has gone from online, to offline.

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @elonmusk It was eight at night. I’d checked the Station Operational Status System website before heading to the UCI station after work and then checked the station status again as I stood in front of a pump that read “see attendant.”

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @elonmusk As of this writing, there are 42 hydrogen fueling stations in California. Most are located in L.A., Orange County, and the Bay Area. At any moment on any given day, roughly 25 to 50 percent of stations are offline.
@truezeronetwork @airproducts

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @elonmusk @truezeronetwork @airproducts It’s sobering to learn that new stations can take 18 months to construct if, as Malone told me, “everything goes as planned.” Each can cost well over a million dollars. This is to say that change comes slow to the hydrogen highway, and with a hefty price tag.

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @elonmusk @truezeronetwork @airproducts For my family, the unpredictability of fuel availability has prompted us to drive my wife’s Subaru Forester on weekends or on short trips around town. Occasionally I cancel trips or factor an extra hour into my commutes. I’ve started to be highly conscious of every mile I drive!

@h2_view @CaFCP @NBCLA @CBSLA @ABC7 @ToyotaFinancial @Toyota @MotorTrend @Tesla @CARandDRIVER @elonmusk @truezeronetwork @airproducts @edmunds
The 2021 @Toyota Mirai #foolcell is an electric car for a small audience. Stations that supply its hydrogen fuel are limited in number and largely unavailable outside of California's urban center edmunds.com/car-news/drivi…
