    i think toyota precluded a lot of aftermarket enhancements by creating the plug in prius. things were going pretty hot and heavy up to that point

    I'm just excited about all the new hybrid technology that's been released and the possibility of utilizing the new in the old. that's where we will find the best spike in aftermarket enhancements... at least that's how I'm seeing things as I embark into the land of the unknown.

    You know the more I learn and build on my PIP the more I realize how the potential and ease of getting a lot more out of it is... were you the one thinking of selling his PIP? My advice, hold on to it! This 2024 is about to be a fun ride on the side of things like a larger-than-Gen 5 Prime battery, chademo charging, and the 80mph in EV mode being propelled by a rear electric motor year... stay tunes!

    I already traded it in when the engine blew at 30k.
    I didn’t want to replace it and then have to deal with the brake actuator and etc
