Since Chevy discontinued the Volt I'm probably going to get a 2023 Prius prime. I get free charging at work so the 40 mile pure electric will work for my Mon-Fri commute. And the gas engine works for my weekend getaways.
Probably debadge it though to reduce the guilt by association with other Prius weenies.
Hopefully they've made the catalytic converter harder to pinch.
Based in the TeslaCam channel there's plenty of Tesla hate to go around. But I think we're getting close to the optimal car shape as far as wind resistance. They're probably all going to look pretty close to the same in the next 10 years.
If you have free charging just get a Model 3 man bro.
I love turning wrenches with regular ICE cars, but the Model 3 is the perfect commuter car. You can always supercharger in the weekends, but with ~300 range you should be able to get around to charge it again at work on Mondays.
I get your reasoning but I still would rather have something I can dump a few gallons of dino juice in and get a few hundred miles. I have a cabin way up in the hinterlands (Sonora California area).
Plus the fit and finish of the Tesla just isn't up to what they're charging. And based on a friend, my boss and consumer reports the reliability is pretty substandard as well.

The redesign looks pretty unPrius'y, though. I may be able to get by with it.
Looks weird with huge wheels and tiny brakes
