2019 Prime not getting a larger battery?

My 2x full-frame DSLR, 16-35 2.8, 24-70 2.8,70-200 2.8, 14mm prime, and 35mm prime fit in a backpack-sized camera bag.

Do you have like a 600mm f/4 or something?

 

hey felt, good to see you!
when you say you took a long careful look, did you mean in person?

 

I took a 7D Mark II, 8-15L, 10-18STM, 18-135nano, 55-250STM and Sigma 150-600C (that's the large one). I left the 70-200/2.8L IS II at home for this trip. I do have something huge (Celestron EdgeHD 11 + Atlas Pro) but I didn't take it. And it all fit in my ThinkTank ChangeUp plus the 150-600C's own case.

 

Now that I've seen several Model 3's in person, they're actually really ugly to me, because of two features - the angle between the hood and windshield makes it look like a Beetle from the front, and the hideous blank front bumper. I'm not alone in the last one as there's a cottage industry of decal makers to fix that blank front bumper.

I'm "in the west" (Colorado) and 99% of my in town driving is still EV.

 

Hi bisco .... it is good to be back and read comments from so many that I once corresponded with.

No .... I just became an avid reader (like I was on the Prius Forum). I read just about everything that was written, especially about paint defects and fit & finish. I was never in a rush to acquire one, and I presumed the QC would improve. Unfortunately, it seems to have gotten worse when the real push came. So many defects are being left to the Service Centers to correct .... and naturally they are overwhelmed. And now there is criticism of their work, where once there was nothing but praise for their work.

I personally like the looks ... and if the QC improves in the next year, I still may acquire one. We shall see. I'm still in no rush.

 

most owners are very happy. likely what you're reading is no different than what we see here on prius chat.
i saw a gorgeous one parked on a street where we walk. looked perfect to my failing eyes.
