My breaks went out! Could have crashed in to cross traffic! Plus I could not accelerate!

The OP is shopping for an H1 Alpha. Then it won't matter whether they brake or break. The H1 Alpha breaks other cars when it rolls over them.

 

Unless it hits a school bus. In that case the H1 driver dies.

 

Agreed!

And in case you don't know the difference I'll illustrate for you.

Brakes



Breaks

Awesome video.

 

Actually, it looks like an H2 that hit the bus. An H1 would have done some damage to the bus. H1s and School Buses are constructed in a similar fashion - liberal use of steel.

 

Very sad, a respected member turned into a troll.

 

Seems to me that the system reacts to losing traction - lose traction while braking, the system makes the inverter go neutral, thus turning off regeneration - which under most circumstances is the actual braking force used to slow the vehicle.

When this happens, it feels like losing the brakes. The OP then says he stomped on the brakes harder and it felt like they were going off/on/off/on. This is the ABS system doing what it should be doing. The OP was probably on ice at the moment.


And they are BRAKES. BREAK is when you DESTROY something

 

Why isn't this in Fronkenstein's Hovel of Pastiches, instead of a real forum?

I thought this was a brake:



Tom

 

is it already april the first?

good one i almost believed it untiel the hummer en give away price for your prius

 

You got me there... until I realized you were trying to make a $120k profit.

 

Listen, I don't mean this as a personal shot at anyone. I make mistakes, guilty of clumsy wording...whatever...but as part of the Recall Education Project, could we get people to understand it's "Brakes" not "Breaks"?

It's Brakes...Braking..Braking System..not Breaks, Breaking or Breaking System.

I frequent a local sports teams forum for discussion and often marvel at how many people come into the discussion with "Looser". The Team is full of a bunch of Loosers!...Come on people...Lost...Lose..Losers...

Sorry: End Rant: Pet Peve of mine.

Guess I just need a Brake from all you Loosers....

 

Have you written to the Pope yet?

:brick:

 

In case anyone hasn't noticed, the post was a joke. The use of "breaks" is probably intentional.

I wish my Prius could do 170. I think mine is defective.

 

I'm guessing that you got a little smoke from the tires.

 

Actually, yes I have done that before. Have you done this one of these yet though:

- When going from driving your Prius to another car, pull on the handle and wonder why the door won't open? Then realize you actually have to reach into your pocket (or wherever you keep the key chain) and actually pull out the fob and push a button first.

- Same scenario, but you randomly push on the dash and wonder why the car didn't start? Only to realize you have to insert said key into a slot on the dash and turn it. Then you get startled at the loud noise starting the car.

I've had issues going from the Harley to the Prius. I keep trying to turn the key to shut off the Prius. Or, in one instance, turned the bike to "on" and walked into the house. Turns out that's a great way to drain your battery in a week! One reason why I now own a spare harley battery that sits on the trickle charger. And yes, I made the same mistake about a week after that as well. Doh!

 

I'd be more interested in how he got a Prius up past about 110 mph! I bet he could smoke anyone off the line with that much power in it! I'm jealous lol

 

$150k for a Prius that can go 170MPH? I'm on it, that's a bargain !

Or maybe not - I'm rather going to sue Toyota because my Prius is faulty. It can't go 170MPH! That's a scandal! Toyota, are you listening? I want another recall to upgrade the HSD!:spider:

 

Dude, Force, Wth? This isn't like you at all... This has GOT to be some kind of joke or hack...
