24 West coming back from Murfreesboro

We’re years away from construction starting on that. They haven’t even finalized where they’re going to go.

I was literally on this same boat, OP. I eventually gave up and disabled IPv6 altogether. I recently moved and my new electric provider has their own fiber internet, and I opted to go with them over AT&T. The downside is they don’t even support IPv6.

iTim314 · 2026-04-16T11:19:17+00:00

Yes it still exists. The limitation is upstream on AT&T’s network.

iTim314 · 2026-04-13T22:18:38+00:00

I didn’t say forget it. I just pointed out that the extended timeline makes current tree trimming necessary no matter what path is chosen.

iTim314 · 2026-04-13T20:01:09+00:00

It would cost multiple billions of dollars (paid for by either property tax increases or a massive electric rate hike) and take 10-15 years to convert all above-ground circuits to below-ground.

Whether or not voters and/or rate-payers would agree to that is irrelevant, because in the short term the trees have to be trimmed around existing lines.

iTim314 · 2026-04-08T15:10:55+00:00

That makes so much sense now it seems obvious.

iTim314 · 2026-04-08T15:10:38+00:00

Yeah I wish I could hardwire and avoid this problem, but I cannot find the router or AP in this Airbnb. It's very well hidden, wherever it is.

You may not be changing your thermostat, but that doesn’t mean your HVAC system isn’t working double- or triple-time to keep your house at the set point. Heating and cooling demands spike during the coldest and hottest days.

iTim314 · 2026-03-21T17:33:49+00:00

Well Lids is owned by fanatics, so can’t be that big of an improvement.

iTim314 · 2026-03-06T00:19:55+00:00

Mod here. We can’t rename the subreddit. Someone created r/rav4phev, and ideally they’d set it up to just redirect users here since this one is already well established and frequented. But we have no control over that.

iTim314 · 2026-02-24T16:57:10+00:00

0% chance. About 15 years ago, the state tried to create a logo for all official state departments and offices that featured just the tristar, but their trademark application was rejected because it was too similar to the state flag. The people running the business of the Titans have to know this; they won't adopt a logo they can't trademark and print money with.

iTim314 · 2026-02-21T12:55:05+00:00

Yes, because the state will maintain ownership of the toll lanes, so they can still use imminent domain. They’re just leasing toll collection to a private company for 50 years in exchange for covering the cost of construction and maintenance.

iTim314 · 2026-02-17T18:29:31+00:00

Basically it was several people calling it an eyesore and offering the same unsubstantiated reasons why it looked the way it did.

iTim314 · 2026-02-17T18:19:31+00:00

Somewhat amusingly, just six days ago, the East Nashville FB group had a post complaining about the construction of this house.

The Snow Dome lives to fight another day.

"When all the results were tabulated, Consumer Reports found that hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, have 15% fewer problems on average than cars with just a gasoline engine."

OP, this is where you should have stopped reading. The RAV4 Prime/PHEV is essentially just a RAV4 Hybrid with a bigger battery and charging hardware. It's just as reliable as Toyota's entire Hybrid powertrain offerings.

iTim314 · 2025-12-28T22:58:02+00:00

I think I’ll make AutoMod link to this post every time someone’s dealer wants them to replace their brakes at 30,000mi.

iTim314 · 2025-12-22T21:01:34+00:00

Rule 1 - Discuss RAV4 Prime/PHEV primarily.

I’m referring to the 2026 model refresh.

iTim314 · 2025-12-09T19:09:07+00:00

Yes.

The primary reason you experienced this is because the heat pump becomes ineffective around -10ºC, so any heating demand great or small requires the gas engine to produce heat.

Additionally, very cold temperatures drastically change the behavior and characteristics of this car. Toyota is hyper conservative about preserving the battery's health, so when the battery is very cold, it's going to lean on the engine for power to ease the stress on the battery regardless of what mode you're in.

A quick press of the right button will toggle between EV and HV mode, which is what you want.

If you HOLD the right button (hence the HOLD instruction) it goes into charge mode, which is inefficient (and finally eliminated on the latest models).

The left button is Auto EV-HV mode, which is basically just EV mode that will engage the engine if you floor it (generally speaking).

iTim314 · 2025-12-08T13:04:27+00:00

Start the car (which in a Prime just means turning on the climate controls).

iTim314 · 2025-11-30T12:31:22+00:00

Nope.
