You need to save one set of mats for the lease return. Also, GET THAT EVSE !!! No doubt, if you try to lease return without, it will cost you about $1000.
I take the stock EVSE out, still in the bubble wrap, and stored them just for the return. A 120 volt only EVSE has near zero value to me in the car.
Get a spare tire for long hauls and put it in a Hefty heavy duty trash bag. The bolt pattern is 4.5" (114.3mm) * 5 lugs. My spare happens to be off a Nissan Altima, 2002 or newer, $15. You will need to modify a junk yard "sciccors jack" (Walmart has them new) so that it doesn't hit the battery. Don't forget the Walmart 4 way lug wrench.
Take the slime / goop Fix-a-Flat out of the car and store it with the EVSE.
Get your road flares, tow strap, jumper cables, winter gloves, and whatever else you keep in a car normally.

IF YOUR CAR IS DELIVERED WITHOUT FUNCTIONING INTERIOR LIGHTS:
A pin is located in the engine bay passenger side fuse box to activate the lights. Inside that fuse box, there is a white "fuse" without any number and that is the "pin". Under the fuse cover, there is a location labeled "short". Put the "pin" into the "short" slot and interior function like light, garage door opener, external door handle switch will be activated.

IF YOUR CAR IS DELIVERED WITH A REGISTRATION FOR AN OIL BURNING CAR INSTEAD OF AN ELECTRIC CAR:
Make sure your dealership ticked the correct box for "motive power" on the registration. If they incorrectly entered "gas", you'll need to get it corrected. In California, the DMV requests that the dealership complete Sections G & H of form "Reg 256". For section G, the sample response given was:
"Due to a clerical error on the Report of Sale, the motive power was entered as "gas (G)", when the actual motive power for this vehicle is "100% electric (E)". Please correct. No fraud intended."
The dealer then signs and dates Section H.

IF YOUR CAR'S UNLIMITED LEASE IS REJECTED BY TOYOTA FINANCIAL
EXPECT THE DEALER'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE PROBLEMS INPUTTING THE UNLIMITED MILEAGE LEASE IN THEIR COMPUTER. MAKE SURE YOUR LEASE DOCUMENTS ARE PROPERLY REFLECT AN UNLIMITED LEASE FOR WHEN TOYOTA FINANCIAL REJECTS IT MANY WEEKS LATER. It should show "N/A" twice for miles and rate per mile in section 10 of the lease contract, "Excessive Wear and Use".

IF YOU WANT YOUR CAR DELIVERED WITH SPECIFIC SETTINGS:
You will likely want your dealer to set the reverse beeper to a single beep. I highly recommend writing this in the sales contract, particularly for an out of state sale. You will not like this distracting beeping in reverse. Also, I recommend setting the auto door locks to whatever setting you want prior to delivery (always unlocked, lock when in Drive, only unlock driver's door, etc).
If you don't want the navigation screen to automatically pop back to the map mode, press the "Home" button below the screen (like on an iPad / iPhone), then press the lower right hand corner symbol for page 2, then press the upper left hand symbol, then scroll down until you see Auto Screen Change.
