2022 Prius XLE - power seats

Nope, no dice for the AWD variety. Toyota makes some really odd calls in what features they offer on various models. It’s really something I wish ours had.

 

You can sign up for MyToyota on Toyota.com, enter your VIN and print out a list of features your car has (my dealership did this when we bought our car in February).

 

You can have mine lol
I'm probably just kidding, but honestly, I do not know ? Maybe I will end up liking it ? I bought a brand new 2022 XLE with a drivers side power seat yesterday > because it had everything else I wanted, and just happened to have a drivers side power seat. Hmm. Okay. To be honest, I used to adjust the seats a LOT on my 2019 LE, as I do Uber and Lyft, so I was constantly moving it back and forth for max comfort for myself and passengers, depending on how many passengers, and how big / tall they were.... and I know I did it faster manually, than my new power one.
Played with the power seat a bit yesterday, but forgot to check if it will slide back 100% as far, and lean back 100% as much as the manual seat in my 2019 LE. This is 100% critical ! As I will sleep in my car a LOT. Sometimes for out of town Uber driving, and for my cross country car camping. If this is not the case, I will end up ripping this seat out, selling it, and getting some kind of high end Recarro or something.

 

Well I really just need to know (and I guess I'll find out in about an hour, my Prius is at my GF's house) if it will slide back, and tilt back 100% as far as the manual seat did ? If so, I will get used to the electric controls. If not, it will have to be swapped out.

Edit: Wow ! I just found out that the electric driver's seat slides back, and tilts, at least 100% as far, if not 105% ! When I was tilting it back, it got to where it was starting to smash down into the back seat, and the electric motor started bogging, which I'm sure is not good for it, so I'll be careful with that, but yes, it's going to great for car camping

 

I cannot express how disappointed I am about not having as many options for the driver's seat configuration as my 2013 Prius!! Not only is there not an electric seat adjustment option, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, the seat does not go as high. Yes - tall people need to have the seat low and with a lot of footroom, but those of us under 5 ft 2 inches need to be able to be comfortable too. I just waited months for my car and paid full price and now I'm not comfortable. I bought a new Prius because I couldn't testdrive any cars and needed to be able to have the car fit for my height, whcih many cars do not. Now, even the Prius doesn't work. Very very disappointing.

 

I look at all these extra bells and whistles as more things that can break…. May be better off without..
