    ...but tuck in close enough and you can get a tow and close to pin the instant MPG meter.

    I have this coming Tuesday. I have no idea why these technologically advanced vehicles only have a light and not show pressures. If a tire is low or going low, I'd like to know which one.

    Its already fun to drive, get 39-40 mpg not knowing how to drive it yet.

    Mostly power mode and try to switch to Eco when up to speed but its too sluggish to maintain.

    I do get it to go to EV sometimes but I need to go back and watch videos to see how to make it go to EV quicker.

    Still fun to drive. Driving Uber/Lyft I'll learn quickly

    A bit of advice when waiting for a fare and running AC or other heavy energy draws; keep the vehicle in Ready mode and not in accessory mode. In Ready mode it will cycle the engine to keep the main traction battery happy. In accessory mode you are running electric system off the small 12v battery without help from the rest of the hybrid system.

    The warning in the owner's manual states" If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or ON mode (the hybrid system is not operating) for more than an hour with the shift position in P, the “POWER” switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely pre- vent the 12-volt battery from discharging. Do not leave the vehicle with the “POWER” switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long periods of time when the hybrid system is not operating." - page 176

    Do not leave the car while in ready mode though. Even if you take the key fob with you somebody can steal the car. They just cannot restart it.

    Some people leave the car in ready to heat or cool the cabin.
