Finally found the time to get this test done, did extended charge from 70% or so SOC to full on the 120v trickle charger, unplugged the battery for about an hour (all the time I had) and upon reconnecting saw 139mi on the GOM. 139/146 = just over 95%. Car has 34.5k miles on it and outside temp...

Oh this is tempting...

Congrats! Post a photo. :)

Copy that, figured as much. :) Tony- can't wait to buy one of your Jdemo units! Already missing the QC capability I've always had on the Leaf. Think that will be a real game changer for the RAV.

What’s the consensus on actively switching between D and B modes while driving? I find it really helpful while driving in the city and in traffic, but I don’t want to do any damage to the car if there’s an issue in doing that. Thanks!

I’ve had the car for three days and I’m in love. Headed 50mi out to Leo Carrillo beach tomorrow with the pup and sister, now I’m just looking for excuses to drive it! :)

I have read the Maxcare contract top to bottom and nowhere does it state that costs above the value of the vehicle or any other metric can be used to deny a claim. It's very clear that if the damage/repair is not in the 'named exclusions' category that it will be covered. We shall see... happy...

I'm still calling around to some local dealers to see if anyone will sell me just a warranty but no luck yet. And if at the end of the day I can't make that happen, and the Maxcare warranty is the only real option, I think I'd rather do that and have the car than not have a RAV4 at all because I...

I think that's a dicey situation. The owner had taken a vehicle sold only in California out of state, to an area where there was no local Toyota dealership with an EV technician, and then when Carmax told him they could do the work, but that the closest dealership was in CA (where the car was...

This one was actually at Ontario Carmax! Pretty sure I remember seeing the one you got on the website, congrats! :D

What was the vin? I just called my sales consultant and he assured me the vehicle is still on hold for me.

Yeah, thanks for the info! I'm very tempted by the Carmax deal and even spoke with the warranty manager, he was very insistent that EV or otherwise, the 'Maxcare' warranty covers everything on the car minus your usuals like wiper blades, wheels, 12v battery, etc. most other aspects of the...

Found another at Carmax for 15k w/ 35k miles... Still has powertrain warranty till June of next year... Going to see it today, can't help myself.

I would consider a potential Toyota owner emailing about a warranty question 'national customer service'. :)

I've also emailed Thorn for clarification on this, hopefully I'll hear back.
