This question was closed with the correct answer "Yes" with an end date of 1 November 2016. Good Car Bad Car reports that Toyota sold 103 Mirai in October, pushing their yearly sales total to 813.
The Mirai is Toyota's first commercially launched fuel cell-powered electric vehicle (Mirai, Forbes 1, Forbes 2). In late 2014, Toyota announced the goal of selling 3,000 Mirai in the U.S. by the end of 2017 (Forbes 3). However, only 72 were sold in the last three months of 2015 (Toyota).
