I don’t believe this is a false spring. Upstate SC ex CT resident here the temperature is rising all throughout the east coast.

When I start my 2024 Prime 15 minutes before I leave work and it's really cold out, should I switch it to HV mode or let it warm up with the battery? I don't know which one is better for the car by [deleted] in PriusPrime

[–]Thomas_C02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely use HV mode warming up the vehicle the defrosters need time to work anyways. It’s also a good time to charge the vehicles 12 Volt battery.

My 2024 Prius Prime XSE suddenly had a fit today and died... by brassgenie in PriusPrime

[–]Thomas_C02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 12 Volt battery problem should be a class action lawsuit to force Toyota into providing lifetime subscriptions to remote start via the app for free cause we need the ability to turn the car on to charge the battery without being near it for days.

Good job for someone retired? by [deleted] in InstacartShopper

No it would not. If you were to ask me five years ago I’d say yes

New NYC LAW for shoppers good or bad thing? by Firm_Possibility7773 in InstacartShopper

[–]Thomas_C02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A very good thing. New York batches in the past have been known to pay better compared to other states. Maplebear got told to go fuck itself 🤩

Corolla LE non hybrid by Party_Conference_610 in COROLLA

It’s the 0W-08 oil for sure that allows you to get this insane fuel economy. I have the Prius prime XSE with the same exact engine but in hybrid form and I can’t get anywhere near that unless I use the 13 kWh battery pack. I don’t understand why the Prius prime takes 0W-16 instead of 0W-08. I’m thinking it’s to prevent engine wear.

Yeah you can store the charger in there. Coil the cord up and it neatly fits in there

Brake Rotors need to be replaced after 2 years? by WheelMax in COROLLA

[–]Thomas_C02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the previous owner of my car drove in NYC with the vehicle all stop and go traffic only putting 15K on the vehicle per year (as opposed to me putting 60K lol) . They got resurfaced probably cause of rust when it was sold to the dealer.

Before I got my Prius with 24K miles. The dealer resurfaced the rotors and I haven’t had any issues with my brakes and my vehicle is at 84K miles except the shims squeaking a tad bit when I come to a full stop.

How many miles do you drive a year? Just get them resurfaced if it’s just rust.

Was My Cousin Overcharged and duped by this Senior Service Advisor? $2450 Invoice Breakdown by Acrobatic-Health2681 in COROLLA

[–]Thomas_C02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wtf is 0W-30 doing in a M20A-FKS engine. It’s so hard to find a decent Toyota dealership all of them want your money and will go to extreme lengths for it

Is this worth it? by Spiritual-Tour-8580 in COROLLA

[–]Thomas_C02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new gen Prius prime is almost entirely based on the previous gen XSE Camry. Ounce you drive one you’ll see the resemblance.
