    Hello Everyone, I am so pleased to announce that I have taken delivery of my 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Advanced in Blizzard Pearl Exterior complemented by Moonstone Softex Interior. I will be posting more photos soon as I am adding the door molding, all weather mats, some tinting, and more. If any of you have taken delivery where are you located and when did you get it? Also if you are waiting where are you and when did you place your order?I am located in Charleston, South Carolina USA. It look about 3 weeks for my car to come in with a DPH fee of $890.

    Also if anyone has a question specifically with the Prime I will be more than happy to answer. One thing that I did notice is on the Color Heads Up Display. In addition to the Eco Bar and current speed it will also display navigation prompts and the Speed Limit on the road you are traveling. (Happy EV Travels)

    I ordered the same color combination. I ordered the protection group, security group (glass breakage alarm), a assessory to black out white on the shifter and console and the mat package. Car will be at the dealers in Kingston, NY on December 14. This will be my third Prius.

    Lol, one of the few quirks with the HUD when travelling down a road that has a posted speed limit of, say, 35 MPH or 40 MPH or 45 MPH the HUD will initially display the correct speed the a moment later display 25 MPH!:eek:

    Everybody gets a Prime while I still dream of one. Day 27 since my dealer said he ordered mine. I am about to go to the mall and sit on Santa's lap to make this quicker.

    my local dealer on Steven creek kept telling me that all prime sold out. There was no chance to test drive at all. If I want to buy, I will have to wait in line maybe 3-4 weeks if im lucky.... So I went to the next nearest dealer on Sunnyvale 3 miles away and they have multiple prime available (but not the white/option I wanted). This dealer is nice and wanted my business. He has asked me to come back to test drive since the battery is depleted.

    To make the story short, if one dealer doesn't have one (or not interested in doing business), just move on to the next dealer. Toyota Sunnyvale can actually get the exact package and option from another dealer... so I'm happy for only waited a day.

    I wanted to go for low cost so I bought a Plus version (cash deal) with Carpet package+bumper app. That's all I need.. the rest of options are not necessary. Drive out is ~$31k.

    Too bad Nebraska is smack dead-center of the country. At least I am only 400 mi away from Maryland where an entire flock of Primes have taken roost. I will likely drive over there next week and see about buying one. With that many dealers carrying the car I can visit several and get multiple offers before deciding on one.

    Looks like my best chance to see a prime will be at the Chicago auto show in a couple months...

    I placed my order for a Blue/Moonstone Prime at a dealer in Western PA on November 12th. Just got an email from him that it is still scheduled to arrive in mid to late January.

    Congrats! Looks like you got it just before they stopped shipping them to the Southeast before who-knows-how long. Looks like I won't even be the first person on here getting their Prime in South Carolina. Mine will be faster though, since it will be red :cool:

    That is awesome! You are going to love it!

    There are a few dealers around Columbia that have orders getting filled. I think they are getting another small shipment in before the end of the year. Where in SC are you? We should start a Prime Club!

    First Official Update:
    -Windows are tinted and floor mats will be in tomorrow. Also got color matching door guard trim that should be in tomorrow too! I have still not needed to use any gas or even plug it in. Once I have fully depleted the battery I will give everyone an update on how far I was able to go on a full charge and using the 'B' shifter setting while slowing down and being good about regenerative braking. (Happy EV Travels)

    Sharp looking car. The tinting makes it look great.

    One thing I rue: the PIP had (very nice, to my eye) cover-free 15" rims. They've shut that door: every dang Prius has "plastic enhanced" alloys now. :cautious:

    Using 'B' to slow down will defeat some of the regen capability. 'B' engages the ICE to help slow the car and is best used when the HV battery is nearly full and/or you have a long downgrade in front of you. 'B' will help keep your mechanical brakes from overheating. Keep in 'D' and you'll get more regeneration into the HV battery.
