How high does oil price has to be before you'll buy a Prius?

Why should I bother? I drive the company car...

my brother got on 5 years ago and battery is always dead

it's all about the iphone of cars the infamous tesla model 3

I will only buy a hybrid (any hybrid) once they get 100 mpg city. Until then, nah.

gas gusling Dodge Ram for me until Tesla produces a decent pick-em-up

why should i bother?
i either walk or fly

are you a birb

New priuses look pretty asthetic though. They've shaken off the stigma of being a faggot libtard car a while ago. I can't afford one so it doesn't matter.

I’d buy one now my dude

if you hypermile you can get 70 mpg already

sage

ugly as fuck

if tesla comes out with a really nice motorcycle I'll consider switching to electric but I already get really good mileage with pic related

how is your female president treating you

I would rather black market my oil straight from the arabian gulf than drive a prius.

>Prius

i'll buy a fourth fucking bicycle before i'll buy a hybrid car

i know you're probably just a lowly toyota shill being tasked with going market research on Jow Forums, so i'll help you out:

if you guys want to get the "environmental conscious-living hipster millennial" dollar, start making bicycles. NOT EVEN JOKING. keep making cars or whatever, but you'll gain much more cred with young people if you just start ALSO making bicycles. Fuck, I'd buy a Ford or Toyota bicycle if it was innovative, affordable and well-made.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm gonna wait for not only next gen technology, but the next gen after that, maybe they'll hit 100 mpg reliably

Will probably take a while. Not satisfied with hybrid technology in its current state

how often and how long do they need to be charged? can you charge them at home? if the cost of electric is not at least 50% less than gas i wouldn't be interested because it doesn't outweigh the advantages of having a more affordable, dependable, and powerful vehicle

It has to look less gay for me to buy it

Says you lmao

>buying telsa
>no certified mechanics
>mechanics wearing lab coats
That will be 2k to repair your door handle, you car is out of warranty so the 6th time we replace it is on you.

I drive a Mitsubishi mirage..
I average about 45 mpg...
The damn car is slow as fuck though.
0-60 in 11seconds

I dont give a fuck ill keep driving my c4

nope, all places i need to reach on the regular are either

Ill just buy a bike and wait for the gas Jews to get revealed
Fyi 100mpg was possible in the 50s with small block v8s

Wtf this was meant for op

Where you don't pollute with carbon emissions you pollute by nickel and lithium pollution. When the batteries go out there's no fixing them, they take the whole thing out and dump it.

I'll never buy a fucking electric car lmao. I don't care whatever the price of fuel or oil is.

I drive an XJ. If it gets too expensive I'll get a motorcycle. If that's too expensive I'll get a bicycle

Prius no thanks

I will never buy a prius. one day maybe a hybrid but not a gay nigger loving prius.

I doubt the doorhandle cost that much unless you have to repaint the door which could easily cost that much for just the paint.

>not driving full electric already.

>accelerate at snails pace into freeway
You fuckers should roped

I bought one a little over a year ago. Forty mpg in the winter and fifty in the summer. Now I can spend more money on guns and ammo. I'm well aware of the strip mining for the lithium for the hybrid batteries and it doesn't particularly bother me.

doesnt matter how high because im not a homosexual

why don't you save even more with pic related?

Thoughts on Hydrogen fueled cars?

Mai cjuntri iz poor, ai canjut bui a car.

But seriously, Finland has the oldest cars in the EU.

I think you mean how low do rice prices have to go. I can get plenty decent gas mileage in plenty of American manufactured cars from American companies, why would I ever buy a shitty rice mobile and give my money to some gook company?

no cupholder

>lithium pollution.

Lithium is perfectly safe to eat.

>When the batteries go out there's no fixing them, they take the whole thing out and dump it.

And waste all that expensive lithium and other metals?
They get recycled, duh.

what are you some sort of faggot prius salesman?
The manufacture process for those batteries used in those deathtraps are more harmful to the environment if that's what you're going to whine about.

Wow, that car is really ugly. This is what you are looking for

JUST CHANGE THE FUCKING BODY YOU FAGGOT FUCKS!

that is te only reason i wont buy a prius the body is FUCKING UGLY! SLAP a god damn 1990 ford CAMRY body and i will buy it!

>not having free charging at work
it's like you want big oil to win

Yeah, look at them shoveling all that highly toxic lithium! without those gloves they would get killed instantly!

How so? Its a combustible renewable resource. Pumps can be repurposed for liquid hydrogen easily
>cost effective
Yet.

I'd leave 2 hours early to work on my bike before I'd buy a fucking prius.

I don't think you can charge a Prius at all.
ie: it only charges when the engine is running.

There are "plug-in" hybrids (and maybe there is a "plug-in" Prius version by now?).
But those make even less sense and were just designed as a tax loophole in certain countries (including mine).

Only full electric cars need to be charged.
You generally charge them every day at home, so you'll start each day fully charged.
Many dealers will install a charging pole (basically just a weatherproof AC outlet) at your home for free.

i said hybrid you dumb nigger. no shit a 911 is more attractive.

Usually its just 1 battery that goes bad and sends an error message/prevents the whole battery pack fr9m charging correctly.
If you aren't a nigger then you are probably intelligent enough to take the battery pack apart and replace the dead cell.

Just disconnect the pack from the car and itself so you don't shock and kill yourself. Working on hybrids isn't that big of a deal.

That being said, Prius is a shit car.

It's not hybrids I dislike. In fact I like hybrids. I just don't like squirrely looking cars that are distinctive and how ugly they are. there have been studies showing that people who want to drive a hybrid like that their car looks squirrely so that other people will know they're driving a hybrid. They want social credit for driving a fuel saver.

>How high does oil price has to be
Whats the difference? I allways fill up for 10€. Not more, not less.

That's because you bought a car with a 78hp three cylinder like a fucking moron.

I agree, and I don't think they are even aerodynamically efficient.

Fortunately they are now making electric cars that look pretty much like normal cars.

I drive a Hyundai Ioniq EV which you can only tell is electric because it has no front grill (to reduce drag)
Nobody ever gives a shit.

Tell me how long the batteries in these things last and how much they cost to replace and you have your answer.

It not my car, I just laugh when my brother can't go anywhere because he has to charge the battery for 10 hours

they last for the life of the car*

*of a typical car ownership length

I own a part of that!

GXY.AX... bought at $0.30 now at $3.03. Just wish I'd sold when it hit over $4.40 six months ago, but I'm still up.

Don't you feel bad about the billions of deaths mining lithium is (apparently) causing?

There's been a plug-in Prius here in the US for a few years now. I know it's not available in Australia, but not sure about other countries. I think the current model has an 8.8kWh battery in it that gets about 40km of pure-electric driving or you can run it as a hybrid that gets like 3L/100km.

Tax dodge or not, it's better to have 100 of them on the city roads than 10 Tesla's because while the Teslas can go hundreds of kilometres, nobody drives that far in the city and you're still going to have 90 petrol cars spewing exhaust on the city streets.

The Ioniq seems to be the best EV right now

never my sunny is where it's at.

bih wha

There are other hybrids out there than a faggy prius

>Optima
NOT BUYING FROM BASED JAPS.

I only care about return on investment.

Besides, Australia has now overtaken South America to become the world's largest supplier of Lithium - accounting for over 50% of global production and growing.

A motorcycle costs $9 to fill and gets the same mpg.

Considering how it costs 4 times my annual paycheck, never. $10k jap cars are more popular here.

The main problems with plug-in hybrids are weight and cost.

Having both a reasonably big battery and a petrol engine makes it very heavy and quite expensive to make.
At that point it just makes far more sense to go full electric:
- no heavy/expensive petrol engine.
- no heavy fuel tank.
- no heavy/expensive/complex gearbox.
- no expensive clutch that wears out.
- if you're charging anyways, might as well charge enough for the entire trip not just for the first 30/40km.

You're forgetting about prices. A Prius is still cheaper than pure EV and has a 600mi range.

As batteries come down in price and improve in capacity, pure EVs will come down to a price point where it makes sense to switch over to them, but at the same time the EV capacity of hybrids will increase just like the Prius has since it first came out - the new models have 8x the capacity of the first model.

Toyota hybrids don't have clutches either - their CVT is a very clever bit of engineering. There's millions of those drivetrains on the roads of the world in various models of cars.

I used to have a Prius though, so maybe I'm a faggot, but these days I drive a Challenger Hellcat and a Landcruiser 200 so I don't even know why I'm going on about fuel efficiency or air-quality...

Its like a modern geo metro.

weld your exhaust back together - $150-200
clean your throttle body, air filter: $50
one tank engine renew, clean fuel injectors: $20
clear car computer: free
don't drive with accessories on
inflate tires with nitrogen

now you have 50% fuel mileage

Saw a motorcyclist slam into a car at 55mph on a busy street. I smiled as I drove past his bloody corpse. You fuckers deserve the high mortality rate that comes with being an insecure man child on a bike

Why can't the civic come in this color honda you fucking assholes.

Your post reminds me of this.

They are about the same price (don't make the mistake of thinking electric = Tesla, there are many cheaper brands)

Once you consider fuel and maintenance costs plug-in hybrids are more expensive.
Note that hybrids are particularly expensive to maintain because they are very complex, full electrics on the other hand are extremely simple and cheap to maintain.
