    10 weeks and still waiting for traction battery from Tesla

    I'm in a similar situation. (But only a month so far without my vehicle). A new Drive Unit was supposedly ordered for mine and they gave me a ship date/approximate arrival date. Now, nobody knows where it went. The dealer never got it, Tesla doesn't know where it is. Corporate has no idea what...

    low traction battery AND Motor coolant!!!

    Mine was a little bit low after a motor swap. My battery coolant level dropped slightly over time as well. A couple of years ago I purchased the Tesla G48 coolant, so I just topped them off myself. I think it was around $25 for the jug, and it doesn't take much to bring the level up.

    Entunes problems

    Larry, I'm an out-of-state-er too. Kevin scheduled my seatbelt recall for me while mine was in for the axle popping noise. And an update - Paul called me back today, tried to activate climate while on the phone and it still failed. Now, he is passing me on to someone else who will call on...

    Entunes problems

    Not resolved as far as I know. But I'll find out tomorrow when Paul calls me with news. Toyota is using my app to do troubleshooting. Please call 800-331-4331 to open a case. They seem to require many complaints before taking it seriously.

    '16 Prius as a loaner. Toyota seems to have listened!

    I've been driving a new mid-level prius as a loaner while my Rav is getting seatbelt recall and axle noise fixed. The new prius has an interesting new behavior and a few other changes. This is great to see, as I have been in a 3 year focus group for Toyota specifically for the Prius. Many of my...

    ALL POSTS -CLUNK when braking and when going between D and R

    I also have this issue. I posted a video of it over on the Rav EV facebook page. Although it is not quite as noticeable in the video as it is in person. Mine has the clunk when taking off, when braking, and now even when turning. It has become louder in the past few weeks, to where passengers...

    Who is currently waiting for a drive unit replacement?

    Received an email that my DU has arrived! This, only six months after it was ordered! Tesla must have done a batch all at once, since it seems others have received theirs too. However, I've been a week now, waiting for word on when the tech will be in town to do the install.

    Who is currently waiting for a drive unit replacement?

    Kevin called me in October to let me know that my replacement DU was on order. He said at that time, the wait could be as much as 3 months or as little as a few weeks. He also mentioned that he would have no visibility into the status of the order, as it was an order placed in the Tesla...

    Headlight aim - horizontal, vertical?

    My local area has quite a few traffic circles/roundabouts. The LED headlight coverage is pretty good, but does not reach far enough to the sides. I would like to adjust the aim since I'm driving in an area with tons of wildlife & open range..... and joggers, bicyclists, oh my! Didn't have this...

    Rav4 EV - collision with Cadillac DTS

    Still waiting on the Toyota and Tesla engineers to formally advise on the drivetrain situation. Kevin has been engaged in helping me, but it's still slow going. I just don't know what could make this take so long!! It's not like they are going to open up the motor and repair it anyway. But I'm...

    Rav4 EV - collision with Cadillac DTS

    Thanks Larry! I actually passed along Kevin's contact info to the collision center too! It's hard, because I'm being told small bits of info. I suppose I'll have to get used to this rental Corolla.....really, really used to it.

    Rav4 EV - collision with Cadillac DTS

    :cry: As I posted over on the FB page..... On 9/28 I was cruising along when I was suddenly hit on the front left side. A Cadillac DTS came across the median at about a 90 degree angle from my direction. Didn't see him coming, no time to hit the brakes. When we collided, his car spun parallel...

    Grey interior cloth seats with random discoloration spots.

    Cpboy99, I used the 'smart mix' solution mixed with warm water. Still looking great! (delayed response.....just found that the forum was back up, haven't been on here for awhile) Maybe they can recall the seats as part of the main recall campaign ;) :cry:

    Grey interior cloth seats with random discoloration spots.

    This must be a defect in the seats. I keep my car interiors in perfect condition, but all of my seats in the rav have slowly developed this brown/coffee color staining. It's on the bottom portion as well as the backrest. This is sort of a disappointing 'development' :? Just finished using the...

    Production numbers broken out by paint color?

    Now that production has ended, I thought it would be very interesting to know the total number of Rav4 EVs manufactured in each of the available colors. Does anyone have this info, or know of a way to find out?

    Differences between RAV4 EV and gas version?

    What differences are there between the EV and gas version? (Even down to the smallest details) After having my Rav4 EV for a month now, it seems that there are many more unique items than I originally realized. It's surprising how many aspects of this vehicle have been "touched" in the...
