    I watched and waited and got a very good deal on a MYLR. I’m keeping my Prius because the $3500 Tesla will give me for it Id rather have put a smile on my face when I drive it on the weekends.
    I’ll update with Pics if interested.

    Been there, done that. I fully agree.
    I had a 2010 Prius when I bought my 2014 BMW i3-REx, PHEV. Happy with the BMW i3-REx, I replaced the 2010 Prius with 2014 Prius Prime PHEV. Sad to say, the 2017 Prius Prime became "driveway art" as the 2014 BMW i3-REx was a better ride.

    I traded the 2017 Prius Prime for my 2019 Tesla Model 3 and never looked back. I have fond memories of my three, former Prius, 03, 10, 17, but no interest in going back. I also added a 2017 BMW i3-REx PHEV for my city car and reduce battery wear on the Tesla.

    I’m totally asea; are LRMY and MYLR one and the same? Then the bigger question: what are either of them?

    A case of “if you have to ask”?

    I figure they are talking about a Model Y long range.

    Don't care for the M for Model with Teslas. An M3 car has been around longer than Tesla.

    Got it, thanks.

    Obscure, cobbled-on-the-spot acronyms are always handy, if you want a narrower audience range, and lots of puzzled looks. :)

    Ah yes sorry about that Model Y Long Range.
    it arrived and I love it. Still love the Prius and I keep it to run around in. So with a BEV its running cost is cheap, the Prius is a cheap Hybrid and the wife's GL500 is the 14Mpg gas guzzler. We use all three for different uses so keeping them.

    Still love the Prius.
