Thank you so much!!!😀

I had a dealer tell me that I needed a new air cabin, new engine air filter, and windshield wiper blades. Ironically, I had changed all 3 myself about a week before going to the dealer. Be careful, they will try to scam you with unnecessary parts and maintenance.

I think you can measure your kw usage for free: Yes, Con Edison customers can access their smart meter data online through their My Account. Con Edison's smart meters provide detailed information about energy usage, which can help customers save money and make better energy decisions

Can I significantly charge in charge mode and then run ac on EV mode when I have to wait in parking lot for 15-20 minutes etc?

How would you be able to turn off Adaptive cruise mode ? Just by hitting cancel on the steering wheel isn’t working. The car had some repairs done, got calibrated and now new sensors are coming on that weren’t on before. Manual wasn’t clear. TIA

Ill NEVER own a car with a camera facing inward unless its a camera i put there.

It has blended brake, so light brake pedal will use the regen to slow you down. Heavier brake will activate the brake pedals.

No it’s not worth it, a small accident and the car will be a total loss. Had two priuses.

No way Tesler can beat this!

Thank you for all your videos! I'm considering a Prius Prime, and it's nice to see you focus on specific aspects of the car (e.g. cruise control, lane keep, etc.) and how to operate them. Most reviews are just an overall glance at the vehicle; I appreciate that you deep dive into certain aspects. Thanks again!😁

This is a bad test. Why are you testing 0-60 in pure EV mode? At least put it in HV mode first. Otherwise what's the point?

I'm in Ottawa, Canada. Purchased my Prius Prime in February 2024. I just love this car. However, a few quibbles: - Front display is blocked by the steering wheel, unless I lower the steering wheel so it is pressing against my thighs - I have Level 2 charger in my condominium parking spot, which is capable of charging at 19.2kwh, but the Prime can only charge its own battery at 3.3kwh - Cruise controls are located on the steering wheel, meaning I have to lower my gaze from the road ahead of me to find the buttons. Also, in bright sunlight the set speed is hard to read on the dashboard. - No rear windshield wiper But aside from these, the car is perfect for my needs. In Canada, the government imposes a carbon tax on gasoline purchases, but then sends you a "carbon tax rebate" every three months. I use so little gasoline that the last carbon tax rebate (which is based on your having filed an income tax return, not your driving history) exceeded what I had paid for the previous quarter in gasoline! In other words, not only have I been driving on cheap electricity, but I've been driving on free gasoline.

You’ve only driven 17k miles in a year… seems like you don’t drive a lot. Mine’s going up pretty quickly.

How does this do when driving in town or in stop n go traffic? Im wondering what the difference is between LTA and JTA

Thanks so much

So, just watched your video as I am trying to get a Prius. Just not sure on which one to get. I want the car for commute purpose. I drive about 55 miles each way. (So to and from work). My route is about 90% highway. I do have the capability to charge at home with the factory level one charger and about 25 cents per KWh. So which do you recommend in my situation?

Gen2 for life

In order to remote start the prius using the app does the car needs wifi subscription too.?

Thank you. I would not have looked for that setting. I would just live with the percent setting.

Amazing video thx. Does it have collision avoidance?

Mark, You and I communicated before, mostly about the EV range we were getting with our 2024 Prime. I noted with interest your comments here about how your range diminished in 90'ish temperatures. And, your opinion that there's a temperature "sweet spot" regards the battery performance. Well, I strongly suspect you are correct. Back in March when the car landed it was still cool here (day time highs around 42f). Never-the-less, we still got 80Km on a charge (no heat or other high resistance loads). That's about 10Km more than advertised. Now, it's summer and we are seeing most days around 25c (80f +-). On the best day yet, I drove 91Km (56.87m), in EV Mode, and there was 6% SOC left. The car would have hit 95Km for sure. This morning after a charge, the computer indicated an EV range of 96Km (60m). Where we live a 90 Deg. day is very, very rare. So, we need not worry about a shortened range. It will be interesting to see how the battery works in our weird winters.

I have had a Tesla for 3 years, I did need to replace tires at 35,000 but I think it's because the tires Tesla shipped with a few years ago came with non-EV tires so they did wear faster. I'm running EV specific tires now and Tesla ships them with new cars. They do wear a lot slower since they are manufactured to accommodate for increased vehicle weight. In terms of range anxiety it's honestly something you fear going into an EV, but once you actually start using it, you realize it's kind of a myth. You never use anywhere near a big percentage of the cars battery during commutes or day to day stuff. People talk about the speed of charging or lack of charging but when you go home you just plug it in and it's ready at 100% the next day. I feel like it's even more convenient than having to go to a gas station in this respect. Heck even on road trips it's okay, I can drive for 3 or so hours and just need to plugin for 15 minutes, use the restroom or take a break - and I'm back on the road again. I also have had almost zero maintenance asides from the replacing the tires at 35k - the only work being changing cabin filters and rotating tires. My brakes are still brand new and you probably know why as a prius owner. Not to mention electricity from home is still much cheaper even here in Houston which is known for our oil and gas companies. Honestly people always ask me what problems I've had owning an EV but I'm pretty happy with it and I think if more people tried it they would be pleasantly surprised by them.

I don't think anybody really wants a hybrid, but settles because the charging infrastructure and price curve is too early for cheap evs. Prius is a tough sell over the model 3 imo, but Corolla / Rav 4 hybrids make sense because they nerfed the base engines. Too weak and underpowered.

Too many problems considering you’re paying a premium for “Toyota quality.”

People like the idea of an EV but it comes with too many problems.

I think hybrids and plug-in hybrids are the cars of today not EVs which are for the distant future…and Camrys are cool not the hybrid though it’s more powerful because there’s no more v6 because people want to save money on fuel and want it to have power so went with an all hybrid as standard?

Yeah i had that same error message and even though it went away as i was waiting for a new charging assembly part (about a week or less) it went away but my Toyota advisor said to replace it anyway

Have you ever had a chance to try on a Tesla? Thoughts?

Thanks for reviewing the SE. Most of the Prime reviews out there focus on the XSE and limited trims

As a driver of the last gen Prime that power is so nice

Gas here costs $6.89 per gallon ($1.838 L). Hydro is just .1325kwh (less really as that price includes the monthly service charge). We have driven our 2024 Prime 5,442Km (3,401m), and have used less than 1.5 tanks of fuel, about 15 gallons. Since the summer temperatures arrived, the engine has not started in two months.

All those icons are telling you are that none of the rear seat belts are buckled. If you have people in the back this is helpful with telling you who is buckled. The back seats do not have weight sensors. These icons are extremely common among many brands.

I have this car. The cruise control is annoying to me because I need to take my eyes off the road to find the Set, + and - buttons, and Cancel on the steering wheel. In my previous 2017 Prius hybrid, I could set these functions with the right-hand stalk. No need to find any button. Further, if I'm wearing sunglasses the green display is hard to read, and the Adaptive Cruise Control buttons are sometimes also harder to read. Once it's enabled, I agree with you that it dramatically improves comfort on long-distance drives.

Be careful of the kasa app from tplink

Toyota service manager was unwilling to share the reason for the charging system failure. Operation manual states nothing about a necessary charging temperature/humidity range. Sounds like another recall likely. 😥

I recently had the same issue, however check engine light remained after charging. Toyota service ended up replacing the entire charging system under warranty (3K+ job). Hopefully Toyota will do the right thing and extend the warranty on these faulty charging systems.

I had to have the charging assembly replaced too. Toyota service manager was unwilling to share what caused of the failure. $3K+ repair covered under warranty. Hopefully Toyota will do the right thing and extend the warranty on this system.

i need to do this. I guess ill pick one up from the parts department at the next dealer i drive by? can it be ordered on amazon?

I'm wondering: · How much did the new cabin air filter cost you? · Was it an OEM part that you got from the Toyota dealership? · Or is an aftermarket filter from Amazon perhaps just as good as the Toyota one?

I had the charging assembly replaced!

I got that too!

I tried to buy a fifth generation Prius. Damn shame the dealers marked them all up way beyond MSRP. Bought a Tesla instead.

Thanks for the review on the SE. Most reviews out there only cover the XSE

The batteries on the se and the xse are the same size. The smaller tires on the se account for the mileage difference.

Thanks for your continual journey with the 2023 Prius Prime SE. Ive just about given up on ever getting the XSE Premium that I want.....may your drag be low and your gas mileage be high. 🫡

If you went using a pure EV it would've only costed you 20 dollars.

Can you really call it a nuisance if you have the option to disable? Hilarious the way you folks describe things that are optional.

It’s not bad!❤

There's a mode to use that doesn't consume the electric battery?

Should have bought a Tesla model 3
