    No Prius at my house but two other Toyota hybrids. My son has two. I now come for the folks here.

    I bet you're better off keeping these thoughts to yourself when friends and family ask what you like to do online? I mean everyone knows Prius owners are a little weird, but...

    Former Prius owners were refined in the crucible of false criticisms (i.e., "Dust to Dust".) Sure, some Prius owners have rightfully wandered off to other fields, some realized those who remain have rare and valuable insights to share.

    Do they have a BEV commercial truck?

    More likely they'll install some hydrogen stations.

    Or maybe just make them like VW and get put in the hell of forever trying to mass produce EV cars and failing?

    You went from from owning a car from a company that has donated to the party that tries to derail any and all climate change regulations to owning a car from a company whose CEO has openly shown support for the party.
