2022 Prius Prime gets better mpg than 2022 Prius, not worse.

And that doesn't count how much better things get if you fully charge the electric 25-mile range battery and measure the mpge.

Additionally, I offer into evidence what happens if you rent a Prius Prime and drive up to the valet at the hotel of your choice. Answer: they won't come and help you. Reason: they'll think you're an Uber driver. Upshot: the idea that Uber drivers could or would eat the cost of worse gas mileage due to dead weight is fatuous.

Toyota does a 10 year manufacturer warranty; the availability and price of used ones older than 10 years (I think they're called Prius Plug-in) should tell you that Toyota has a handle on the complexity of the system they built.

Toyota. Oh what a feeling.

Also, anyone who has one: hit me up if you're thinking about getting rid of one of these pieces of dead weight.
