    Congrats!!

    A few things I didn't noticed before - the gas tank is pressurized now? It has an electronic release (instead of cable) and a warning that says to refuel within 30 mins or fuel may spill during refuelling!

    Also, what mods did you do to your vehicle to warrant that warning sticker on the door about cargo carrying capacity? Or is that on all PiPs?

    Yes it seems that when you press the button you have to wait a little bit for it to depressurize.

    The warning sticker was on it when I got it. Not sure how they were off by a kg or so. Seems like a trivial amount to have to add a sticker for.

    Yes it is! It was cloudy on the day i picked it up so more diffuse, whiter lighting. On the sunny day yesterday it was probably warmer afternoon sunlight and some other things that give it a more blueish cast.

    I'm sure yours will be even greener!

    My 2012 PHV got dropped off after sunset, so first photos were at night...

    That's quite a different look from the 2010. I really like it!

    Larger versions of the photos are available on this webpage.

    Can't you tell? :rolleyes:

    It's Clearwater Blue.


    It's very exciting. Of course, the battery was down to HV with just 3 bars. So the maiden voyage was 2010 like, but with HUD. Tomorrow will be quite different.

    Please, make a separate thread of PiP videos. Your videos are always excellent, but please make some without fast forward and let us see the EV range depletion, so we can see, how far and how fast can you go on EV power alone.

    My dad got his PiP last Friday (Just found out mine can be picked up tomorrow morning) but I took this pic with my phone once we got it to my house and I plugged it into my Wattsation to make sure it worked, which it does. :)

    Hello,

    I'm patiently waiting for my march build PIP. I would like to know from folks that have the base model the feel of the steering wheel. Is it hard plastic or is it wrapped in some soft touch vinyl? I've found that hard plastic wheels get really cold in the winter but vinyl or leather are just fine for me. If it's just hard plastic I want to talk to my dealer about getting it leather wrapped. I'll skip the leather coverings because i've got kids so it would probably get destroyed.

    How about more base model interior pics!

    Thanks,
    Dave

    A pack of Prii in the wild...I just picked up my PiP on Saturday from Putnam. It's replacing the Black 2009 in the picture - I believe she's off to a good home in San Francisco this weekend...

    While scouting out the charging stations at work last week for my incoming PiP I came across this plug-in:
    [​IMG]

    And then last night I found this hatchback charging next to me (notice the manufacture plates):
