Toyota recalls 625k Prius models for faulty hybrid software
- 1. Toyota recalls 625k Prius models for faulty hybrid software Toyota recalls 625k Prius models for faulty hybrid software I agree with you somewhat but the reality is simple: You're missing out. Unless you're strapped for cash and/or really see a car as a transportation appliance, it's going to become quite obvious you're missing out sticking to that philosophy. Getting the cheapest car on the lot may be wise economically, but you're also likely getting the worst car on the lot. It's less safe, less refined, less comfortable, etc. I'm not saying they're bad cars, but most people can tell the difference in quality and refinement even from a compact car to a midsize within the same brand. I sure can. Also, hybrids have been around for about 15 years now. That's hardly new technology. The Prius is in its 3rd generation and about to debut the 4th. Also, it's not only new technology that runs into problems. All car makers have recalls and they are often for things not even related to cutting-edge technology as the GM and Takata recalls have exemplified. Also, while there are considerable drawbacks to owning a car like the Tesla Model S, consider that these cars have the #1 highest customer satisfaction rating out there. If they were problematic cars that frequently inconvenienced their owners, such a high rating wouldn't be possible. Not only that, early adopters of technology allow companies to further R&D and then release products that are more affordable. It's the current Model S owners that are largely to thank when the Model 3 comes out in a few years. Without them, Tesla wouldn't have bothered making it. While I do have an appreciation for tried and true technology, it's not exactly innovative to cling onto something from decades ago and reject everything else that's new. Today's technologies are allowing vehicles to be more efficient and run cleaner while also outputting more power. Some people appreciate this and will get on board with it to help pave the way for others.
