Welcome to me...the newest PiP dude

I got 'er today. Blizzard White...so what's new.

Bought it from a dealer in Yakima, WA, and they were happy to see it go. Told me right to my face they were happy since the Plug In's weren't selling at all. I paid $31,150 plus license of $83. And WA tax. Total of $33,477.25

Drove it to our daughter's house an hour away where we're staying for the night. Got it plugged in right now.

Thanks to Allannde for his help in making up my mind....changed it once but then rechanged it back.

Two quick questions before I get the encyclopedia out that came with it.

(1) I just plugged it. Not on timer....will this get it a charge and will it shut off when the bat is full?

(2) On my old 2009 I had my accumulated MPG...I reset it each fillup. I don't see any accumulation of MPG on this one. Am I simply missing it?

Thanks for all your knowledge

 

Thankee. And Mark I found the trip puter .... guess I should have just read the manual...lol. Without knowing how to drive it I got 69.7 mpg. And that included 12 miles on it from the dealer...no telling what they did there. (I do know they had it idling with the air on when I arrived)

I loved my 2009 and I suspect I'll be loving this one. It does seem to ride much nicer.

Well, gotta go back out and play with it somemore.

 

I just got back from a trip to get some Coffee. (Any excuse to drive, right?) After last night's full charge it read 13.1 EV miles. The trip there was 5.7 miles, all on EV, and a big uphill, plus return. Still have 3.2 EV left. The engine never started. I'm loving this car. The people who have a daily commute of under 13 to 15 miles round trip must be smiling ... lol.

I do have a scan gauge from my smashed up 2009. Hopefully it will work.

I got the base package. Real base. The only option was the Blizzard White. Not even floor mats so I'll probably order them off here.

I had contacted the San Diego dealer everyone on here mentions ... and he was approximately $2000 more. And the other dealer mentioned on here with the initial "D" was over also...but not as much as the SD dealer.

Oh, just gotta mention this. When I got back from my drive, all smiles, I said to my wife ... all the way to McDonalds round trip and it was free. She sarcastically replied, "Except for the 33 thousand." Dern woman.

 

Excellent bielinsk.

I don't think we'll be able to match your mpg since we do a lot of long distance driving with no opportunity to recharge each night. (Unless I can talk various motels/hotels to let us run an extension cord out to the parking lot.) My logic when buying this one was that's it produces better than "normal" Prius mpg, with the opportunity of plug-in when available. It wasn't really an economic decision since our style of driving wouldn't allow a pay off until long after I'm errr, in the crematorium yelling ouch, ouch, ouch. I simply like the thought of being able to plug in. And I love the technology.

The dealer attempted a big sell on buying the extended warranty because of all the electronics and the possibility of water getting into them. I turned the warranty down by dazzling him with my promise to never drive it in the rain. He was speechless until he caught onto my attempt at humor.

Time to go back out to see how the second recharge is doing.

 

So you've driven yours over 10,000 miles? Just curious ... have you had ANY problems, especially with major parts?

Thanks.
