P4ndaFTW Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Why can't we buy a Prius on the server? the cheapest electric car is $87k i believe. I just can't imagine any reason as to why we cant get one, or maybe its just that only a certain garage lets you buy one and im just haven't found out which one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storrent Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) I asked Serpico this a while back, and he said it was because it was being used for the driver's test. Because the driving portion of the test has been removed, there's no reason we can't buy the Prius. It's an electric car and a compact, two options where we're severely lacking, and it brings more low-end vehicles to the server, which is desperately needed. Also, the Surge, the only(?) available electric car right now is $78k, not $87k. Still not cheap, and it underperforms for its price, compared to other vehicles in its class. I could go on about the sedans, but that's not for this topic. Edited June 16, 2018 by Storrent Linked wiki article to Prius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 The dilettante was chosen as the vehicle for the driving test because only three people had ever purchased it at the time the DMV was added. It could be added to the garage now, but given how unpopular it was before, I don't think it's really needed. We would also need to find a replacement vehicle if the driving test makes a return in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storrent Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 The thing is, why even have a separate vehicle just for the driver's test? Why not use a Premier and train people for how their (probable) first car will drive? It seems counterintuitive to introduce people on a vehicle they'll never drive again.

There are a lot of anti-abuse measures tied to that car specifically to prevent griefing etc during the driving test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
