Fool Cell pre-orders off the charts? Says who?
Says Toyota.
Toyota’s hydrogen car blasts 2015 goal in first month
http://www.slashgear.com/toyotas-hydrogen-car-blasts-2015-goal-in-first-month-15364791/
Toyota is already calling the 2016 Mirai fuel-cell car a success, announcing unexpectedly high preorders in Japan, and warning that as a result some drivers may have to wait longer for delivery. 1,500 orders have been placed in the country in the first month alone, far exceeding Toyota's initial goal to sell around 400 cars before the end of the year. The impressive milestone comes while Mirai sales are still limited to a single country, as the hydrogen-powered sedan isn't expected to arrive in the US and select European countries until later in 2015, and pre-orders are not yet being accepted.
There's a downside to all that unexpected demand, however, and that's when exactly the Mirai will show up in drivers' garages. "Due to the large volume of orders received," Toyota says, "some customers will experience longer waits for delivery than originally expected."It's unclear what sort of delay that will be, with Toyota not giving any specific timescales.
They are selling them faster then they can make them. What was the demand for the turd. half a percent in six years???
Probably costing at least $500k each to hand make!
Not sure what they cost to make. But they are selling them for 57,000 with three years free fuel. I would hope their cost isn't half a million per car. It hard hard to believe Toyota ever losing at anything.
But what is the problem. They will build them to coincide with the station buildout. At least there is a demand.
I think they will do really well in a city like Chicago.
