Separate names with a comma.
Indeed. Well, *technically* any object with greater potential energy, via E=mC^2, has greater mass. However, that mass difference, being...
Interesting data point there! I can neither confirm or rule out that temperature was a factor, but that’s certainly not impossible. Generally...
Gotcha. Just curious. So it sounds like you’re getting a fair number of HV miles in addition to EV miles (not to suggest that that’s either good...
In short, “not yet at least.”
I personally haven’t seen mile/KWh numbers vary much since we bought our 2017 P.Prime. I have, however, seen considerable variation I how much...
How much do you put in when you go to the gas station?
Thankfully, we have 7 charging plugs at my workplace. Even better, they work in Austin Energy’s “Plug In EVerywhere” program: charge all you...
I typically go to the gas station to put in a 2-3 gallons once every 2-3 months. That is, unless I have road tripping to do, of course....
For me, the Guesstimatron typically reads around 10% too high. Work is 19 miles away, but I need 21ish on the GoM to arrive there with zero...
To clarify though, it’s hard to compare Model-3 EV-efficiency numbers to a Prius Prime’s. It has to haul around a monster battery pack, for...
Here in Austin TX, on our 2017, I’ve seen a long-term average of 4.6. I’m surprised you folks are seeing much more than that; I’m not at all an...
Cool! Congrats! Nowhere nearly that high on our 2017 here in Austin, TX. I think the highest I’ve seen is 35, and that was only a few times...
Yes, “Adaptive Cruise Control” is what we called it at my previous company, where we sold microcontrollers that Bosch, Continental, etc. used to...
To me, that just sounds like two companies choosing different acronyms, and slightly different feature sets, for what is fundamentally the same...
FWIW, on our P.Prime, I’ve seen 70-75MPG driving at a fairly-steady 60MPH, vs. ~50MPG in the 75-80MPH range.
Hopefully you’re at least half joking when you say that. As the Mythbusters measured fairly precisely, drafting can indeed drastically reduce...
Indeed. Rolling resistance is, proportionally, more significant at moderate speeds though, which is why tire inflation matters.
Indeed they do: Added weight and compromised aerodynamics... Not so good. An engineer on the gen-2 Volt made a careful point that aerodynamics...
Short version, we prepay for routine maintenance, for the initial ... I think it’s 60K miles, IIRC. The advantage to us is that we get that...
Ah, come to think of it, I do distinctly remember now that they did not change the oil on the 5K service. I’ve been assuming they’ve been...
