    Latest firmware? Tesla-1.3.101, Nav-VB503200, GPS-6/1/13

    Is there a way for we consumers to such the updates? At the bottom of that photo is the "Update Software" button but when you push it, it looks for a flash drive attachment. Any ideas?

    Check EV System warning message

    Hey Starlight- That RAV 4 EV at Stevens Creek Toyota that was brought in on December 8th is mine :) Also, I spoke with Kevin at Toyota Corporate in SoCal and the wait is unfortunately just that - the wait.

    Check EV System warning message

    I figured they'd be changing their tune with you too. I've got a case filed now with the 800 number. Thanks and good luck!

    Check EV System warning message

    My RAV4EV had that warning light and the car wouldn't start. When the tow truck finally arrived, I gave it one last try and it started. However, after going into the shop two weeks ago I was told the gateway ECU needed to be replaced. It was supposed to be completed today, but they called...

    Charger Advice

    Yes, the preinstall kit has the required wall hanger for the charger as I mentioned, and it is basically essential. I wasn't offered it as a bundle from Leviton. As I said, Leviton has a video posted for how to do the wiring as well, and here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-t6VYevmno...

    Range on RAV

    Charger Advice

    For any 240V charger you will need a 240V line coming from a 50A breaker dedicated to a 240V outlet. Leviton sells a way overpriced outlet installation kit for under $100 which is simply a plastic outlet box, a 240V receptacle, a weatherproof cover, and a wall mount for the charger itself. Now...

    Autodimming of Multiscreen

    Wow - you mean they went ANALOG in controlling brightness of a digital display panel?! How can they have NOT incorporated auto dimming since it is in my wife's ten year old cheapo Prius?! I wonder if it can be "upgraded" with a software fix from Toyota, or if your "lock point" avoidance allows...

    Autodimming of Multiscreen

    Hi All- My wife's Prius screen auto dims at night but my new RAV4EV doesn't. It's too bright even dimmed down. Is there a setting I've missed or does Toyota have to add on the feature that makes it adjust for day and night modes?
