LuckieDuckie: you completely forgot the mention one key difference between Rav4EV and X - Autopilot. To me that alone throws away all other EVs out of any contention except Model S. You need to drive it with AP turned on for a reasonably long drive for you to get over the initial nervousness. It...

The issue is, 'apparently' Toyota Corp will not reimburse the dealers that do any work under warranty. So I am surprised that your dealer is doing it. It goes me a glimmer of hope..

I don't mind working around anyone schedules, as long as there is a gentleman agreement that someone will take care of the issues. Do you think I can talk to your dealer and find out more about this ? I really need this car and I am willing to do whatever it takes as long as I am not left with...

So is there an official 'roving Toyota Field Technician' ? or was this one off, just for your incident and no more after this ?

Wellesley Toyota. Will they service what they sell ? Just curious

I called again and this time I asked for a letter in writing. A 'manager' came on the line and was much wiser. He read out a section from Toyota website (Toyota.com/rav4ev) apparently stating that "only authorized rav4 EV dealers can service this vehicle", and said there are none outside CA...

I called Toyota Customer Service at 1 (800) 331-4331, and a friendly lady emphatically told me that all Dallas Toyota dealers have the equipment and knowledge to service all Toyota electric vehicles. She recommended Toyota of Plano, based on my zipcode. And sure enough, I called and spoke to...

Well, I do... but not sure I can ask them any favours though. In any case, how could they help me..?

Dianne tells me there is no unlimited mileage offer on the leases for out of state buyers. I can't understand how could that be ..?

I am really interested in learning how this plays out. With days away from Leasing, this matters a lot to me. Are there any PiP certified dealers in the Dallas area ? Short of calling each one of them, it is hard to find out. -Jay

I am in active dialog with Dianne and would like to have the Lease deal done before the incentives end by Sep-3rd (?). Dianne is a little clueless as to how the Lease will be structured for an out of state (TX) shipment. I have spoken to two owners in Austin and there is one owner in the DFW...

Kohler: Thanks for you offer, and I may take up on it if the other owner in the Dallas area does not respond. Thanks Jay

I have seriously thought about, spoke to CA dealers a few times and almost pulled the trigger on buying one, but have been holding back worrying about service issues. Are there any Rav4 EV owners in the Dallas area that I can touch base with ? My Leaf's capacity is dropping like a rock each...
