Not out of the realm of possibility. I once had to replace the radar in the grill on a Taycan. That part updated and required a new control unit. That wouldn't talk to the PCM/Nav, so had to replace that. The PCM didn't talk to the Connect Control unit, so a new one went in too. Btw been kind of lo...

Update 1:2 SA just messaged and said they are now replacing some sort of Telematics module now ?! :wtf: and it’s coming from Florida. I’m downright wondering if he messaged the right person. Calling 1800# in a bit. I had no issues with said module and it had nothing to do with the error at hand tha...

It’s a Prius. No such thing.

I’d probably take the a low 5 figure pay out and keep rolling in a broken IX. I still really like the car. But that’s likely not going to happen. I’d be shocked if the offer is anything over net 0. I also have $400 in mats :disgust: and still sitting on the new plates that I never even had a chance...

A waste at that point. Owner’s gone through the process once already. They’ll just go back to buying it back minus cash already paid. Manufacturer will lay down quicker than a cheap whore. Ah. Figured the lawyer might be able to help get them to not count the cash already paid. You sign it as part ...

Any cash accepted is factored in to future buyback calculations and credited out of the final amount. Can always take the cash and sell the car privately. It won’t have a branded title with a “cash and keep” offer. Makes sense. If cash is taken and a car does end up back in service for 30+ days it ...

My money is on them dangling cash in front of you in hopes of finally finding a fix. Nobody's buying a lemon/buyback EV with 50 miles on it. :gonbgud: If they dangle cash, and Max decides it’s worth taking and living with the car once fixed, how does that impact possible future issues? If some othe...

You're welcome to come over and take it for a spin.

-snip- Good update. How's the ride/overall comfort level? 195/50/19 low rolling resistance tires. It's a bit loud on rough roads (more of a Toyo tire issue, the Michelin's are quieter and I lost the tire lottery on that one). It's nicely isolated from the road, feels fairly stiff and responsive. St...

Update from the service manager: They are going sensor by sensor through the wiring harness now. “A lengthy process”. Still don’t know what’s wrong with it. that thing is going to be a rattle trap from this day forward, probably. It's a post Covid build German luxury EV. It already was going to be ...

I'm 375 miles into driving the Prius Prime in 5 days. It's rated for 39 miles on a charge (XSE has 19" wheels and loses 3mpg and 5 miles of range over the base car) I charge it overnight at home on a standard 110 outlet and it takes about 9 hours for a full charge. I have a 48 mile commute 1 wa...

Update from the service manager: They are going sensor by sensor through the wiring harness now. “A lengthy process”. Still don’t know what’s wrong with it. It seems like they should have done that earlier but … I’m assuming their hands are tied through some dumb process with bmw in Germany. I do r...

1800 # called today: 1. They initiated a “repurchase” not a buyback. Case is going to a case manager tomorrow who will follow up. 2. Dealer service manager called back and didn’t say much we’re playing phone tag. Trying to find out what the factory rep told him. Once I get an “offer” in front of me...

This was the drive home, with 60% charge remaining, and in auto/hybrid mode.

Drive to work today - 47 miles. 76.8 MPG, using about 40% of the battery (I over-rode it into hybrid mode for a long stretch down the highway). Averaging about 3.8 miles/kw so right around 40 miles on a full charge. The XSE has 19" wheels so it's rated for 39 miles BEV and 44 for the base mode...

MSRP for my Prime XSE (non premium) was $39073. I got it for $37,900. $4500 lease cash. The premium XSE runs around $43-45k and gets JBL audio, power tailgate, solar roof and surround view cameras. I did a 20k mile/year lease with inception fees ($1400) down and ended up at $490/mo. Sold the Fronti...

Prius Prime acquired. Drove it home and used no gas. It’s actually kind of quick and the 20-55mph full throttle mash in hybrid mode is legit :notbad: I saw a yellow one parked up the other day and ended up doing a double take. I like where Toyota is going with this. Congrats on the new whip! I wish...

Monthly subscription cost thru Drive is $3295 or $3695 for a GTS. Daily is $400 or $450. Includes primary insurance coverage. We have people who have ordered a car and are using Porsche Drive to have a 911 until theirs arrives. Any mileage limits ? 1500 miles. There’s the option of a “multi vehicle...

That all makes sense to me, it's a brutal commute to do in a truck efficiency wise. We are locked in at 2.5x% as well and I'm sticking with it as long as we can with the way things are now. $250/day for a 992 is pretty :notbad: :dat: $7500 a month. To be fair there are probably only 4 days a month ...

202x Toyotas are not pre 2010 Toyotas. Their quality went to shit I've yet to find a single flaw with the 86, it is very great quality... it is also built by Subaru :doe: Japanese built Toyota product has been mostly unaffected by Covid. Subaru’s plastic quality has changed, but it’s still built we...

No, but the manufacturer is offering $7500 lease cash to offset it. Leases only. I have a Prius Prime coming next week and get a $4500 lease credit. I think I’ll end up buying it out within a few months. You are quietly overtaking everyone on the :plac: spectrum :impressive: I rented a new Prius re...
