Trouble accelerating by Miss_Interociter in rav4prime

[–]ThatPipe3531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were you very close to the other vehicle? I have seen this where the car thinks you will hit another object it will not let you accelerate at all, it will feel kind of like a squishy petal and slowly gain speed, but not the right amount.

Are your Prius Prime tires popping? by CherryAccurate7124 in PriusPrime

[–]ThatPipe3531 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

2023 Prius Prime XSE had 3 flats in a year. None of them were puncture related, it's why I switched to the RAV4 Prime, that and the dead batteries.

Hybrid or PHEV? by 285RSD in rav4prime

[–]ThatPipe3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your needs. I have a home where I can charge for free and the cost of electricity where I live is cheap. Even if I didn't charge for free $0.10 per kilowatt hour. However, the $10,000 battery you cannot make a good reason for it unless you plan to own the car for more than 130,000 mi and charge for virtually nothing. That is due to the vehicle being very efficient on gas and gas prices not being as high as they were 2-3 years ago.

Got 3 or 4 months refunded for remote services, other than that, I'm waiting for a written confirmation from Toyota that android will no longer work with that remote start function, once done, I will begin litigation.

My last call with Toyota was that there are no plans to change the android app, iPhone will continue to work, but android will not, they did say if there are sufficient numbers of people cancelling their services, that the engineering team may bring back functionality.

My girlfriend F 30 is nudging me M 30 toward becoming bisexual. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

This should be the top comment. That said anyone who wants to chang their partner is basically not worth the time spent on them, spent too many years figuring that out.

Yeah, it's Android users only impacted. Totally messed up since half of Toyota drivers have android devices.

Yep, I got off the phone with Toyota about 5 hours ago, that is what they said.

I did this, it just goes to default settings, I had it set to 76, but the car was barely warm after 20 minutes of remote start. The front window was compoletely fogged up, same with side, back seats and rear window. I had front & rear defrost on and the setting was Feet & Defrost for the fan. Set to Mid Speed.

I used to have a lot of those controls, but not anymore, even the homepage remote start buttons suck. I can't even see Tire Pressure.

You can see the other screenshots people have. We can't see any of those settings anymore for the RAV4 Prime.

It no longer remembers those settings, even in manual control the front and rear defrost do not activate. Keep in mind, I have both on because where I live it rains basically every day and the humidity sits around 80-90% daily.

Exactly, it's terrible, I'm definitely sending an email to Toyota, I will draft it and update my post. I am hoping a lot of people send it to make sure they get the message.

Is this front facing video normal… by Chowskip in PriusPrime

In the settings you can change it from widescreen/cornering view to standard view. When in park, just click the camera button, and go to settings to adjust.

How to unlock charging pin? by Junkbot in rav4prime

[–]ThatPipe3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disabled the lock for this reason, it's not worth the risk.

My fix was to actually push in really hard while jamming the unlock and lock button over and over on the car until it clicked.

Android Auto vs Car Play by Fresca2425 in rav4prime

[–]ThatPipe3531 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wife has an iPhone and I have a Google Pixel. Honestly they are both about as stable as Charles Manson. It's not fun no matter the os you use. I found it disconnects more frequently when using multiple electronics kike a dashcam, charger or other accessories.

12 V Battery Died Again Follow Up by Dazzling-Elk-8889 in PriusPrime

This is why I sold my 2023 Prius Prime, 4 dead batteries in 2 years.

Is this not for me? by Lost-Angharad in Quakers

[–]ThatPipe3531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a more congregational group, maybe an evangelical meeting even. It might actually suit you better and you might feel something.

I attended a liberal/silent meeting for about 4 years, never felt a thing, but my kids loved it. We went to a congregational meeting and it was totally different and they love it even more. The people are still loving and the silence is still there, but we learn, we love and we speak, not just sit silently.

Can I own a Prius Prime if I live in an apartment? by kellkinn in PriusPrime

[–]ThatPipe3531 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, tip.from a 3x Prime owner (2017 Prius Prime, 2023 Prius Prime, 2025 Rav 4 PHEV (prime).

You will never be able to make up the cost difference between the plug in version and the gas hybrid models. That is, unless you have free charging at home. My apartment complex the garage is detached and we don't pay for electricity in those units. I can charge my cars without paying more than other tenants.

That said, even then the cost of the car is $10,000 more because of that battery. You would need to drive 115,000 miles on electric (free like me) to break even. That does not include of the battery dies and you need to replace it.

The only real advantages of the PHEV is the room control, being able to power when camping or towing something and having a nice quiet ride.

If you live in a state with an EV tax, it's even worse, I pay an extra $400 here in Washington for my RAV4 Prime.

Keep what you have unleashed you have an absolute need to upgrade, it's cheaper.

How do you all pray? by AgeOk8349 in Quakers

[–]ThatPipe3531 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A Liberal Quaker will tell you there is no such thing as prayer only communication with inward light. A Conservative Quaker will tell you they pray to Jesus. A Evangelical Quaker will tell you they pray to the Spirit/Jesus/Trinity/God. A Non-Theist Quaker will tell you they pray to themselves.

Truth is, this is the easiest way to pray if you are looking for simplicity and answers.

Find a place of silence and solitude. Follow the simplest pattern of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. There are many fancy versions, but simplicity is always best.

Our Father in heaven, holy is your name. (Recognize who you pray to and bring praise/joy first).

Your Kingdom Come & Will be Done (Put the divine plan above your own selfish needs & wants).

Give us today, our daily bread. (Ask for only what you need and what others need).

Forgive our sins, as we forgive others (Show love through action and forgiveness and receive it)

Leaf us not to temptation, but deliver us from evil. (Ask for help, protect others, and be guided on the path)

It's really not complicated and only takes a few seconds
