A loaner Rav 4EV would have helped with my costs and expenses and as I said, I believe in the technology of the vehicle. It just didn't seem like the servicing of the vehicle was well thought out by Toyota and Tesla. I agree with Miimura's post that had my vehicle been Tesla only that it would...

My Rav 4 EV was a 2012 year model purchased in April 2013. It had an issue with the battery at 3,000 miles (car was completely dead) and later the transom motor was replaced (late last year). The issue that finally caused me to say "enough" was when I would plug it in and it would stop charging...

Hi All, it's been finalized and I have the check in hand. I really liked my Rav 4 EV but couldn't handle the amount of time it was at the Toyota dealer waiting for diagnosis and repair. The last time it was in the shop it was there for 58 days. Toyota offered a rental but I had a back up car and...

This week saw a Blizzard White one pulling out of Arroyo West School in Moorpark (Ventura County) where my daughter goes to school. She noticed it before I did! Karen 2012 Classic Silver Rav4 EV 2013 Chevy Volt 2007 Honda Odyssey

Picked up the car today. There were multiple codes U1146: Lost communication with electronic propulsion control system gateway U0293, U0146, P312F, 074001. The paperwork says that Tesla Firmware Update uploaded update. Did not specify which update or version. Is there a way for me to check?

My Rav4 EV is a 2012 that we bought in April 2013. Just heard back from the dealership that the car is ready and just needed a software update. Hopefully its fixed.

Unfortunately, as of July 16, I've joined the "Screen of Death.. Check EV System" Club. Car has less than 2,000 miles on it and had been driving great. Parked it at a shopping center and an hour later was greeted with the death message. I couldn't get the car into reverse but I was on a slight...

Hi Mike - AV Legends - I bought my Rav4 EV from the Simi dealership after you bought yours. I've had license plates for a few weeks and the stickers for about 10 days now. Probably time to check with Oxnard and see what's up.

Thank you for the info Tony. I've already ordered a frame from them and it's been done and shipped. Fast turn around! Looking forward to adding the 'Tesla' to my Rav4 EV.

Hi Everyone, Karen here. Thanks to everyone on this forum who helped with persuasive info to get my better half on board with purchasing the Rav4. Now that we have it he is completely sold and drives it whenever he can. This forum is a wealth of information. We were spending over $700 a month...

I would love to get the "Powered by Tesla" license plate frame. I don't see it mentioned where it can be ordered. Does anyone know?? Thanks!!

Bought the silver one at DCH Simi Valley this afternoon. They brought the car over from Oxnard to the Simi dealership tonight. We test drove it and signed all the paperwork. The charge was very low and we are leaving it to charge overnight. The Rav4 for is for me but the hubby had the big EV...

I was at DCH Simi Valley Toyota and their sister store is DCH Oxnard. I'm okay with any of the colors and really don't have a preference. I used Al Gaines' name when talking with Simi and they said he was with internet sales. Really, I think it came down to them not wanting to put in effort to...

Back early from an unsuccessful trip to our local Toyota dealer. Their online inventory showed as one 2012 and two 2013s. We arrived to find out that the 2012 was the "dealer" car and they weren't selling it and had sold their last 2012 a couple of days ago. The dealership has a sister store...

Any recommendations on current bargaining / numbers? I've put together some info for leverage. I also recall in one of the threads something about being able to have the "anti theft glass" $299 taken off. Can anyone update or provide info on that? I can't find it and we're out the door in an...
