    I went for a ride in a Tesla S last night and was really impressed with the speed. And the technology. What I like most, was the rear view camera was on while car was driving. Has any one done this in the Prius? How easy/not easy?

    Great idea. I'm always conscious about possibly holding up traffic when I'm hypermiling and the rear view mirror is always adjusted to my wife's settings. (PS: If there's a car behind me I always do limit and accelerate with traffic)

    This place can do it and has a link for the proceedure but it seems pretty mod intensive:

    Note - link is for a Gen II but may be similar on Gen III:

    You know you can move that mirror, right? :)

    More importantly, can he move it back to the correct setting?

    OK, I asked for that. I should have mentioned the car is mainly hers. I just try and 'fix' her fuel efficiency on the weekends.

    You can turn the camera on in diagnostic mode, but its not really something you could use while driving. But the camera is so hugely wide-angle it's not much use for anything more than 10 ft away.
