Prices are crazy. Someone totaled my old car so i didn't really have a choice. I am glad i got the 2022 and not the new version, that one looks like has way less trunk space and if rather do an ioniq than no trunk space prius.

I got the prius prime 2022 because I'm a small car guy. It's good. The Rav4 has more range on it in electric mode, but the prius still gets ~52-58mpg in gas mode.

The one thing you gotta watch out for is the infotainment. I have the xle, which has this big beautiful screen, but only works with carplay. Yep, DOES NOT WORK WITH ANDROID AUTO. It's insane. This is an aspect ratio thing, so might be fixed in the future? Not holding out hope for that though.

I do love the map thing, but man its so annoying not to be able to connect my phone with Google maps since their nav system is worse.

I have a prius prime! Works perfect for my use case. Everyday driving is full battery with maybe a bit of gas. Big long trips require no extra planning or stops.

Not for everyone, and i figure will last until EVs are nice and developed with better infrastructure up where i live.

Honestly i e yet to hear someone who owns an ioniq5 not love it.

I couldn't pull the trigger on a trade. Not enough range and infrastructure, plus the rate of tech improvement is still pretty quick. I went with a plugin hybrid with the hopes that i can trade it in once evs get a bit more settled.

Fair point. There are bigger fish to fry but this is a change people can easily make 👍

Dont think they can, it's a real key for the software, the distributor just gets them bulk and through "grey" channels. There's a whole writup on it.

Regardless i used to full pirate the whole office suite and hadn't had an issue for 20 years, I'll just go back to that if they somehow decide this key is illegitimate

Yea but i don't like sync for privacy, ad, and pricing reasons right now.

All i want is a client that has posts as list mode and the ability to have different accounts with different settings and blocklists.

Connect is not the business for this, blocking one instance blocked it across all my accounts.

You can still buy liscenses for office. I just bought a key off a shady vendor for $30 and have a fully activated, non subscription office 2022

This is so true. But also range is a big issue. Charging takes 6-8 hours at home and on most chargers available. Charging faster is bad for the battery. Topping up is bad for the battery.

So I've got to make SURE i know how far im traveling today and tomorrow so i can keep charged. I need to make sure i can spend enough time at a charging site.

EVs are still limited by thier range, though it is improving. Once they hit about 400 REAL LIFE mi for a 30k car, it'll be much better. EVs say 300 mi range.
But you shouldnt take it below 10%, shouldnt charge above 85%. So that's 25% gone.
Now 225 mi range. We're gonna be running that air conditioning, that'll knock efficiently by, conservatively, 5%.
Now 215 mi. The weather is often cold in the upper 50% of the US. This drops battery by another 15% in my experience.
Now 183mi. We're not driving on flat land, nor are we driving perfectly efficiently. Lets be generous and say that probably knocks off 5% from the total possible range determined by driving on a track.
Now 168 miles. Lastly, we have degradation. Usually 2-5% per year, at best, then slowing. So after 2 years we'll say we lose 7% of the total capacity (assuming we're practicing BEST battery charging practices).
148 mi.

So a "300 mile" car can, under real world conditions and assuming you keep your car for kore than 2 years, healthily get about 150 miles before you should recharge it (but not right away and not drive right after because that's bad for battery health).

We're getting there, but there's a ways to go.

It's gonna take some improvement, bit we're on the right track.
