7:54 does the A/C blower kick off when you come to a stop and the combustion engine stops running? I have a 2002 Prius that has an ICE-driven air conditioner compressor and also has auto-climate control. It is able to run A/C (cold!) with the engine off. When the cabin is mostly down to temp, the ICE will be permitted to idle-stop and I'll get about 40 seconds of cold air (likely using up the capacity of some sort of "cold-sink" in the evaporator because I'm lucky if a nonhybrid gives me 10-15 seconds of cooling with IGN on and engine off.) Once the cold reserve in the evaporator is exhausted, I get about 5-10 seconds more slowly warming air, and then the ICE fires up. It runs JUST long enough to get the evaporator ice-cold again, I hear the compressor clutch snap off, and then the ICE shuts off. I've heard that idle stop cuts the A/C blower in these early Honda hybrids.
Have you driven it thru mountains? I have and its so much fun. You can make turns so well. So much room compared to a reg car. My gf, she thinks i drive crazy because the car is so zippy. That's with my EPS not working.
It is this product, I measured it and they made the model for me. www.ebay.com/itm/124983181964?itmmeta=01J4Q4H3YM0G0JHZMVKEVF4XKD&hash=item1d1994028c:g:NdgAAOSw8w1X4DUl&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HQv99yJkngnhX%2F6uzM1jB0Vc52HjfBU8%2BYsDvsuPrBFgtcNpJq8yPhYcoSmeb%2FAXugKe7RTvK0oHbvQKeWSv2Cckk4GPrBz%2BrDFcgixh8KbS%2BP34d0LFgICofM1i2ldBeMwfECcONLG1CcXfDTbx%2BAphZND%2Feuxw6PprM1qVckm5WTHp%2BAMwzo6YU4YHfzB5BbS6RnVCcxky9QEcGdYpwqzL6Wk2S6QTIrEYasd5b4iFQOVK4kZrsU8CAgDqDBRvZzngxjiP15DL5%2BgFN8rnaUhu19o0g3tmpIUhKr%2F7Cpk%7Ctkp%3ABFBMvL_E5KVk
Thank you for continuing your insight content even though it is a niche topic. I find these videos invaluable.

Loved it!!
Are you going to InsightFest this year?
Negative, I'd like to but it's just too far, I have a huge amount of other travel this fall. :(
The Honda Clarity is the closest to look like this.
Have you driven it thru mountains? I have and its so much fun. You can make turns so well. So much room compared to a reg car.

Yes, the insight is great in the smokies.
What are you using to make the small lip spoiler for the top of the rear hatch glass?
It is this product, I measured it and they made the model for me.

@@gray25xt Thank-you! I have been watching all your Insight videos while I consider purchasing one in the next few months. They have been helpful.
I would love an insight drive. Thru a mountain pass or a national park.
