I mean the Bz4X, Solterra, RZ are not terrible cars, they are just not competitive at their original MSRP when VS the competition. I would say Tesla is still way ahead for someone our age going into the 1st EV experience, but if you can pad my pocket with $19K, I can overlook alot of shortcomings...

Did the customer say how the $19k is determined, like $9K government rebate + $10K from the manufacturer / dealer? Getting a base Solterra for 19k or $15k (without bc rebate) off seems pretty solid despite the specs.
The Toyota EV triplets are serviceable cars and I enjoy driving them, but the bz4x/solterra won't be my first choice in the group at MSRP. I think the RZ is priced alright in the mid-spec trim - the powertrain trade off for better creature comfort is worth it to me.
