Other Vehicles You Are (Fo' Real) Contemplating...

I suspect people thought me nuts when I opined the CC air is 2x as efficient as the manual. IMO. My 2014 blows my manual 2017 away. Even with the plugged core the CC 2014 cools and HEATS the car better than the manual.

The primary reason I will retire/sell my 2017 is to have the CC in my 2014.

For vehicles with I guess supposedly identical compressors and air flows there is a world of difference between my two.

By CC are you referring to the Mirage automatic climate controls?

I may be wrong, but I don't believe the compressor cycling to have ANYTHING to do with a computer or computer programming at all. I may be wrong on that, but unless I'm proven wrong...

I have the auto-crappy-climate-numbers-so-you-think-it-is-really-something controls. And my compressor cycles frequently. But I don't think it's because it is programmed by the computer to do that. I've given the compressor cycling issue the ole Toyota 5 why root cause analysis. And the root cause was determined to be, because the compressor is chitty, leaky, and lower on refrigerant than it should be.

Fixed rate compressors have to cycle to regulate temperature. Variable rate compressors can run constantly and do some wizardry internally to make sure they don't get the evaporator too cold. When my 19 with manual controls was new the system was evacuated, weight checked, and refilled and it still just wasn't very good. We verified the operation with two different cars right off the lot and determined they behaved identically.

My other Mirages with auto controls also cycle the compressor but I've had no complaints with the a/c cooling the inside of the car.

I just stumbled across a Model S P100D for $27,000(usd)/ $36,000 canadian peso's with 150k kms/93k miles. What could go wrong?

Might be a southern BC car(OK sticker)

Looks like a nightmare to me...

I think you would like it. Remember, it doesn't have to be your forever car though your spouse might prefer it. Once a household gets an electric car, it becomes the primary vehicle.

I agree.
