    For a research project at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands we want to conduct an Skype interview with a Prius owner about the sustainability of his / her vehicle. Could somebody help us out? from now until Monday 12th of June?

    welcome!
    perhaps you need to define sustainability, so we will know if we are qualified to answer the survey questions.

    Most posts like this are lead-ins to a scam.
    Be very careful.

    Dear Sam,

    I understand that it might sound a little strange a thread like this but it is actually quite hard for us to find a Prius owner. Imagine all the car brands around, and every brand has multiple models... and we need one specific model. Do you might be interested in a Skype conversation of 15 minutes? Today or Monday? (Our deadline is Tuesday)

    We hope you could help us,
    Ewoud

    Online we find a lot of data about intended miles per gallon but we want to verify it with end-users. Next to that we try to get an understanding of the behavior driver with regards to the hybrid power system.

    Kind regards,
    Ewoud

    I echo caution. Plenty of car dealers in the Netherlands. Plenty of Prius owners, as well. I used Google to check. OP, state your criteria plainly or risk being reported to the admin as a potential scammer. "Quite hard" ... need specific model? State your criteria NEW MEMBER.

    You do not need an owners view of mpg. USA EPA has that data, and there are plenty of legacy posts on PriusChat discussing the issue. Again, this smells ... something is rotten near Denmark...

    No sorry, never.
    Even if it was not possible to "push" destructive code via a Skype connection last week.......maybe it is now.

    If you want opinions, just post the questions here. There are many windbags on PC (me included).
