    I've never even seen the pip. I would love to go see and test drive one, but they are not here yet. When are they scheduled to arrive in KY dealerships?

    2013 Model Year is the schedule, but you can buy one out of state and drive it home now.

    buy one out of state now, cheap. or wait for them to come to KY, potentially expensive.

    When MY 2013's arrive availability of pip should occur for the rest of the US. Should is the key word as nothing more has been said except that the plug in website says availability will open up to everyone in 2013.

    Iirc, I think Dry Ridge Toyota might have received a PIP already.

    Will the 2013 PiP be any different from the 2012, other than being available in all states?

    Very very doubtful. Maybe a third package offered, but who knows. Otherwise, I very very very seriously doubt it would look different at all or have a different battery if that's what you were looking for.

    Why will it be less expensive to buy one out of state as opposed to waiting and buying one here.

    If I had the $$$ I would want to deal with a local dealer,
