Separate names with a comma.
My only thought is do what the manual says - use the TE. There are cases where you could plausibly argue that previously a car was specced for...
Okay, I guess we can go back and try to dig through some of Paul's earlier work, having swapped in MG2. Even if we can't get through to Paul,...
Has Paul got MG1 and MG2 the wrong way around all this time? o_O I guess that answers my question about why the obsession with MG1 and ignoring...
The engine isn't prone to start in N. That's one of its key characteristics, and why leaving it in N is a bad idea. It will discharge the HV...
Yes, it must provided the desired amount of torque to the wheels - zero (or at least negligable drivetrain losses comparible to any other car in...
The older Prius manuals told you not to tow with the front wheels on the ground, but people did it anyway. G5 manual is more relaxed. The only...
While also making a Prius impossible to tow. o_O
Another point, while we're at it. In your fantasy world, why would the system run MG1 to compensate for drag? It's MG2 that is connected to the...
Those are your two contradictory misconceptions* next to each other. As you said about the first misconception, "If MG1 were allowed to...
I still want to know what the mechanism is that stops Paul's drag happening when going downhill, causing Paul's out-of-control runaway downhill...
You do have to have a feel for the forces involved. Like ChapmanF, I had the experience of powering a motor-generator via a hand-crank connected...
Is there any Prius gear Paul understands? Two down, only three remaining. And I've just realised he's got contradictory misconceptions. His whole...
Fancy linkage on the passenger wiper to cover more area than a simple rotating arm. Was also the case in at least one previous generation. Maybe...
What vvillovv said - it's complicated - but there are approximate hand-waving temperatures at which the behaviour shifts happen. Heat pump gives...
I had a similar annoyance, but it can be solved by configuring the car to fold the mirrors when turned off rather than when locked. It's one of...
In the G5 low fuel comes on with some range left, and some fuel gauge bar remaining. Range indicator continues counting down. When range would...
Are you sure they said "past zero miles" or was it past the low fuel warning, which happens considerably earlier? The low fuel warning in the...
Must say though, it's a bit different here. I can go a whole week without the engine ever stopping in EV mode, with the temperature below -10°C....
Why? It's unrelated to how often the engine starts. It's just about fuel going stale. They are so specific about "total over a 12 month period"...
How so? The fuel-use-over-12-month spec (user instructions) is separate from how-often-to-start-the-engine (managed by the car, I believe). BTW,...
