    I live in Denver and no dealership did participate. I found one in Rochester ,NY where my brother lives and got the discount there.

    Super White is flat white (plus clear coat), easy to match, and touch up paint is available at any auto parts store. I had it on my Gen 2, which an auto broker got for me. It was an extra fleet car.

    Blizzard Pearl is a 3 step paint: 040 Super White first coat, 070 Blizzard Pearl second coat, clear coat. It seems a little more finicky to me.

    I have a little touching up to do and I'm not that good at it. I think I'd rather get a small spray can of 040, mask the area out and do it gradually before applying the 070. I'd spray the clear coat too.

    Thank you everyone! It is finally here!

    So far we have driven about 40 miles completely gas free, and that’s without charging at home! :) we hit the “199.9 mpg” milestone, haha.

    Love it, best decision !

    Quick question, does the plus trim support Entune?

    It depends on what you are calling Entune. Toyota uses that branding across the whole Prius line but AFAIK only the upper trim MFDs support the Entune mobile app.
    @bwilson4web or somebody else with a Prime Plus would know for sure.

    Mobile app.

    Also is it bad to use B mode on EV for city driving?

    B mode is only designed for long downhill stretches that may overcharge the battery with normal brake regeneration. B mode uses the engine to burn off some of the excess energy caused by the downhill braking.
    Unless your city center is on the top of Pikes Peak, I do not think using B mode is appropriate.

    Well it still has the Entune App Suite, doesn't it? Like Slacker, Pandora, OpenTable.com and MovieTickets.com

    I really don't know.
    I know they say my Gen 4 Trim Two has Entune but not the App Suite.

    That's the Gen 4. It's my understanding that the App Suite is standard on the Prime.

    I'm just thinking whether Entune is even available in Hawaii or whether it's only available in the lower 48.

    What shows up in the Apps page?

    Yeap! I did some testing in city driving, and my ECO score and range seems MUCH better with B mode! I'm using it now for city!

    I'm hitting 90s and up :)

    It seems like the Entune App Suite isn't available in Hawaii then. That might explain why you can't sign up.
