The following topic was no longer available for writing, so we have started it up again.
https://losangeles.vivinavi.com/eb/index/-?topic_id=_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005&show=all#_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005

I was just about to start the engine of a car that was parked on the street when I heard an explosion and someone nearby ran to my car and said, "The converter is I think it's been stolen. It was stolen from my car last night !."

I thought I had seen a post like this on Vivinavi... So I read the past topics.
I was too shocked... The prices are the same, but it's the holiday season and many mechanics are closed... Crying
I've done a lot of research and it seems that there is some kind of anti-theft cover, but has anyone actually worn or had one installed?
I asked because it would be very painful to have it stolen again even if I put it on newly, and I wanted to know if there is any countermeasure.
In addition, the garage only has space for two cars, and with three cars, one of them will inevitably be parked on the street.

If you look at the engine compartment of a Tesla car, you can see how it is built.

> Does the Prius run without an engine ?

Does it have a gasoline engine ? , if so, yes.

Does it run without engine ? ? This is called a "hybrid".

Also, at high speeds such as freeway driving, the air hitting the front of the car at constant velocity is not so ridiculous, in other words, air resistance reduces the speed, and the gas engine also rotates with more power to overcome it, so fuel consumption is lower than at 30 km/h - 45 km/h. Even so, when running at a constant speed of 60 km/h, the fuel consumption is much better than that of a gas engine car.

Lies start again. Enough is enough

Most Prius owners say they can run if they run out of gas, about 2 km
And Toyota's website says


Running out of gas while driving ( Running out of fuel ) If the vehicle runs out of fuel, as a rule, it cannot be driven.
Drive battery * 1 If there is some remaining power, the vehicle can travel only as far as waiting on the shoulder of the road with motor drive only. * 2
However, depending on the remaining power of the drive battery, the vehicle may not be able to travel that distance, so please refuel promptly when the fuel level becomes low.
Please note that plug-in hybrid vehicles cannot continue
EV driving ( or motor-only driving ) even if there is electricity remaining in the drive battery charged from an external power source.

If the hybrid vehicle runs out of gas before the hybrid system starts, the hybrid vehicle cannot run at all.
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, the hybrid system will start if the battery is charged from an external power source, but the vehicle can only travel as far as a safe place to retreat to.
Refuel until the fuel level warning light in the meter goes out.

* 1 Drive battery : Nickel metal hydride battery or lithium-ion battery. The type of drive battery depends on the vehicle model ・ year ・ specification.
* 2 The following vehicle types cannot run at all if out of gas.

Alphard Hybrid ( 2003/7 ~ 2008/3 model ) , Estima Hybrid ( 2001/6 ~ 2006/6 model ) ,
Crown Sedan Mild Hybrid ( 2002/10 ~ 2008/4 model ) , Crown Royal Mild Hybrid ( 2001/8 ~ 2003/12 model )

I'm not sure what #82 means.
Isn't that close to what #81 is saying after all?

I found this on youtube. It certainly seems to be able to run a few kilometers.

30-series Prius out of fuel ( Crazy experiment to intentionally run out of gas )

I thought the bartery was always fully charged while generating power from the engine, but it's not.
Prius is too advanced for me to understand.
