Serious questions about the solar option available in the Prime:

I've owned both of THE highest trims.
A Gen3, Level 4 could get the Solar Sun Roof option.
A Gen3, Level 5 could not get the Solar Sun Roof, but it could get the Advanced Technology Package, only available on the Level 5.
My first Gen3, Level 5 also had the optional Blizzard Pearl Paint.

I honestly don't know which one was THE most expensive possible Prius.
I don't know anything about the 'electric driver's seat' option. That's a new one on me....

 

That sounds like the original Gen3, the 2010.

The 2012 mid-cycle refresh pulled the solar sunroof option down to Level 3. Spouse likes sunroofs, I ended up with it on a Level 3 and drove it a dozen years.

 

Uhhh... What??! Photons in the light cause electrons in the semiconductor to move from the N-type across the depletion layer to the P-type. Gather all these electrons up and return them to the N-Type via a wire and you have electricity. There is no "radiation" or anything hazardous involved as it's all DC. The electric motor and inverter drive are throwing off much more EMI than anything involved with the solar panel.

 

You're talking about "EMI", but the question was about "whatever".

Who's to say the motor drive can't give off more of the EMI while the solar panel gives off the vast majority of all the whatever?

It's certainly beyond me—I never learned enough about whatever.

 

True. Maybe the point of the tin foil is to absorb the "whatever" and transfer it into the wearer's head? Clearly I'm out of my depth here...

 

You just need a widget to handle all that whatever. Toyota installed at least one.

 

Oh, oh....
I can answer this important question.
The chance of catching WATEVER under a solar panel is 100% the same as having your noggin under a patio umbrella.
There are all sorts of unsafe practices that can be done under either shade providing device.
And it can be a very quick exposure, if you're doing it right!
Be warned!! Play safe young man!

But I like the way you think!
What else is google spreading (erroneous or not) ?

 

Congrats! If you note the displayed EV range or take a photo, let it charge for a day exposed to direct sunlight, then come back, what is the range? Like do you see 20 miles but when you left it before, it had 17?
