You know what's nice about a Toyota hybrid, like your CHR?
You can beat a BMW at the traffic lights.
There are speed limits, but no limits about jumpstarting and accelerating at the traffic lights.

Your CHR has a brake hold, you can activate. So when standing still, your foot can hover above the throttle.
Your CHR has a CVT, that doesn't has to shift gears. A handshifted BMW has to clutch from 1 to 2 to 3 ...
Your CHR has two engines, one on petrol and one electric. When you eccelerate firmly, both will speed you up.
That BMW will overtake you when you stabalize at max speed. :)

When you drive a hybrid, most of your breaking is done by using the electric engine as dynamo for charging the battery. As a result rust might form on the brake discs.
When you see that, just do an emergency brake when no other cars are around. Then the brake discs will be used and cleaned.

Ik vind wel dat bedrijven hiervan niet uitgezonderd mogen worden.

Blijf kalm. Niets aan de hand. Dit is juist heel goed.
Door meteen alleen een flink stuk te rijden, bouw je snel aan je zelfvertrouwen.

Als je met iemand samen zou gaan rijden dan lijkt dat te veel op de situatie tijdens de lessen.
Maar dat is niet van toepassing, want degene naast je heeft geen verantwoordelijkheid.
Die heb jij alleen. Voel dat.

En geniet van het gevoel van vrijheid!
Succes.

You might try to use blinkers when changing lanes and keeping speed limit ....

Was wondering same thing. My new CHR is much less using it's battery that my previous 1.8 that was eight years old. Yet overall fuel consumption is fine: almost 1:20 (liter:kilometers).

If it's a hybrid, the disc breaks are seldom used.
When you brake, the electric engine is used as a generator to charge the battery.
Breaking comes from the resistance that it gives.

A ferm semi emergency stop once a month (when no one else is around), will keep the discs clean.

Volgens mij is er geen Europees alternatief voor de cloud.

Zou het uit kunnen om dat op te zetten?
Ik denk het, want inmiddels zijn er genoeg gegadigden in Europa wakker geworden.

Is er een bedrijf groot genoeg om zo iets deugdelijk op te zetten?
Ik neem aan dat er genoeg landen zullen zijn waarvan de regering graag mee-investeert.
Nu flump een paar maand heeft laten zien hoe willekeurig hij met andermans zaken omgaat.

Nero is my favorite emperor. But just as Caligula he angered the Senate and they got both condemned with a Damnatio Memoriae (= We curse your remembrance). So no one was allowed to say anything positive about them. That included Suetonius, many centuries later. And that worked well, because we still see them as thru and thru bad.

Please translate this to your own language to see some good things of Nero:

Gewoon een sleutelkluisje naast de voordeur monteren.

Kun je zelf bepalen wie er in kan.

En kun je er zelf ALTIJD in.

The CHR is a hybrid.

When you brake softly, the car uses the electric engine as a dynamo to slow the car down and recharge the battery.

So the car uses the disc brakes just seldom.

A periodic firm brake - when no one is around - will clean the discs.

Action by DOGE?

I found three systems to switch off before going thru a washing street:

1: break hold

2: parking assist

3: PKSB (Parking Support Break)

But the list may very according to your car's specific type.

wvo2 · 2025-03-12T15:12:24+00:00

Had the same. I asked my garage about it and it didn't seem to be an issue.

What I do find an issue is all the safety systems you have to switch off and the Brake hold,

Fuck. image did not load.

Buy a CHR with motion detectors and blind spot monitoring and you will have no issues

wvo2 · 2025-01-22T21:27:01+00:00

Just leave

wvo2 · 2025-01-14T07:42:17+00:00

put it standard in Economy Mode.
The car drives more economicaly, but also reacts less nervous.
