    2022 Prius Prime or another Model 3?

    We sold our Ford Flex last year and have been living with one car (2018 M3) for the past 11 months. We're now ready to buy another car, and my wife's got a 2022 Prius Prime XLE on order.

    Using a Prius Prime custom cable setup with my MY -- temporary

    I traded in a 2020 Prius Prime Limited for a Model Y. I had a Prius forum member make a custom cable pigtail that plugged into my NEMA 14-50 50A 240V receptacle and ended in a 5-15 socket.

    Prius vs Model 3 Suspension

    I currently drive a latest gen 2016 Prius and overall I am happy with it but I am planning on buying a Model 3 this fall. I'm very excited for AutoPilot! I have read the threads about people's opinion of the new coil suspension but those discussions have been centered on comparing the old M3...

    Will former Prius drivers drive more aggressively in a Model 3?

    OK. File this under "random thoughts." It's been inferred that Tesla expects to get a lot of former Prius owners with the Model 3. My question is this...Do you think they'll drive more aggressively once they get the Model 3? My hunch is "maybe" for a couple of reasons. 1) There's no more...

    Model X Design: Ugly or Sexy? Prius?!

    Friends of mine are in one of two camps concerning design: 1. Ugly (looks too similar to a Prius due to aerodynamic design compromises) 2. Sexy Personally, I keep flipping between the two - what about you guys? Kinda sad the nose cone is gone, personally.
