How about the Chinese EV security risk?

Cars shouldn’t be communicating at all as GM proved with their insurancegate scandal, should be able to sue for any insurance increases during said communication

 

This is just like Tik Tok. If there is a legitimate risk here, then we should take steps to protect the country and people form all the corporations. Not just the ones that happen to be headquartered in country we currently are at odds with. Also extend those protections against our own government while we are at it.

i bought 3 prius

 

The exact wording is "Past Prius: 2017 Prime, 2010, and 2003". The operative word is "Past" as I used to drive those three Prius between Oct 2005 and Mar 2019. It is why I still have an interest in the Prius family of cars and a substantial body of posts in this forum. The Prius community where, "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and the children are all above average".

Me too and two out of three weren't bad:

Baby, we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
. . .
I want you (I want you)
I need you (I need you)
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad (don't be sad, 'cause)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad ('cause)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

He's referring to your profile listing under your screen name. At the bottom is a vehicle listing. You never changed it from when you owned the Prius.

 

That is because PriusChat shows that as a "required" field from a limited list of vehicles. So I chose the last Prius owned as 'close enough.' However, I see it now includes the "2018 Model 3" which was not an option in 2017.

Mine is a "2019 Model 3" but if it makes others happy, show it as "2018 Model 3" is fine by me. I'm not going to complain about a web page, limited set of vehicle options. We all have better things to do.

In an ideal world, there would be multiple parts:

• Year
• Make (or Make Model)
• Model (or Model Trim)
• Trim

Regardless, my signature shows accurately the two vehicles I have.

two out my three prius weren't bad either

 

Thanks... I always double-check the vehicle the person posting has while I'm writing a reply so I understand the context better...

 

Fixed that for you.

 

I test test drove an MG4 long range Trophy the other day. It was one year old with about 3500 miles on it. It looks really good and amazing acceleration. Price is about £23500 - it has virtually every bell and whistle from heated seats to blind spot detection and still has 6 years manufacturers warranty. It really was good to drive. The advertised range is over 300 miles and the dealer is only up the road from me. My hesitation is that I currently spend about £800 per year on fuel on my old Prius. Road tax is £10, insurance about £560. A service is about £200. So I could get a great bargain on a used luxury diesel car and the money saved on the cost of the car would more than compensate for the additional cost of even a "bargain" electric car. But I might just end up with a used Rav 4 or CH-R, or maybe a Honda. I am spending way too much time looking at virtually every option. Maybe just stick with my trusty 2008 Prius with 178k miles. At the moment the only car that gives me a slight feeling of excitement is the Kia EV6 which has a fantastic driver display and looks (in my opinion) very decent. The cheapest used ones are about £28500 so maybe wait another year
