I bought my Prime Premium in 2017, to dip my feet in the BEV world, and because it only cost me about $21K new, after all incentives and tax...
Thanks, Charles, that's the first explanation of this system I've heard that I've actually understood! I've done my own A/C work in previous cars,...
I agree the gas engine/defrost mode is not needed in most situations. But I'm still peeved there's no plain-old-vent mode, in case you couldn't...
In my experience, even with A/C set to off, if you have the fan on, the heat pump will apply heat if the outside temp is below your temp setting....
That's how most cars work, but I think the Prime is more sophisticated than that. See the article I linked to. I understand the engine comes on...
Are you sure the A/C system can't heat and dehumidify at the same time, without the defroster on? The Prime has an incredibly complex heat pump...
Ah, good point... .
This article is worded pretty vaguely - I don't think it clearly says N.A. Primes are not included in the recall. In fact, since our Primes were...
I'm in Chapel Hill, and quickly realized the local dealers weren't interested in selling Primes. Last summer I rented a car for 60 bucks and drove...

My Prime never offers me the chance to turn on the traction cooler when I park the car. Last summer it offered it to me whenever it was hot out....
I bought a donut spare for late model Corolla from a local junkyard for $25. Drove with it a bit and it worked fine. I keep it behind the front...
I'll be surprised to see it happen in the fall (see previous posts theorizing why not), as it didn't last fall. .
A follow-up - I haven't had an ICE-on incident of this sort since that one in late winter/early spring. Curious to see if it happens again next...
