You can’t buy a Mirai, you can only lease them. And they’re only sold in CA because they’re a so called “compliance car” designed to appease regulators.

Personal story, when I tried to lease one they wanted me to share my social media info because they only wanted to lease them to “influencers.” Seemed like a bizarre way to run a business, and since I’m not an influencer I looked elsewhere.

Maybe it was true at some point, but not anymore - you absolutely can buy a Mirai.
