Replacement drive unit came in last week. The mechanic at the dealership is completing the replacement today. I am told he is Prius certified. They will keep the RAV until tomorrow for testing. Other than the coolant flush with the Tesla diagnostics, is there anything else I should confirm...

Dealership still has my RAV4 EV. They now say a new drive unit should be here this weekend. They are going to have their mechanic replace the drive unit himself. Last time I believe they flew in a Tesla tech to do the swap. Should I trust a normal Toyota mechanic to replace the drive unit...

Two months later and the Rav is still at the dealership. They thought it was a bad 12V battery and we replaced it. They also calibrated a sensor they said was off due to possible low 12V power. Jerking stopped. However, as soon as I got it home I was not able to charge. Sent it back and...

Was driving home yesterday and the RAV started jerking like power to the drive unit was being interrupted. Coasted for a bit and then drove the last mile home - it seemed normal but I was taking it easy. Took it out tonight for a short drive, 2 miles at low speed, and it seemed fine until I...

Thanks, this was helpful in getting my Safety Connect new subscription activated.

I called the number to hopefully get more info but they are closed today for the Holidays, day after Thanksgiving. Will try again tomorrow or Monday.

I was thinking of renewing. Mine expired and I do miss the remote Heat/Cool feature. I followed the link provided earlier in this thread. https://www.toyota.com/safety-connect/#Subscription On this page the annual is listed at $80. I know it was $140. Have they lowered the price, or am I...

I realize this is an old thread but... I live in Houston TX. My Entune subscription expired and I am undecided about renewing. $140 a year seems like a lot to remotely manage the charging and climate. In any case I would like to know if anyone found a way to turn the AC on while charging...

Houston Texas. Local Toyota dealership Fred Haas send a video into Toyota corporate and they said the drive unit needs to be replaced. They said it'll be a three-month wait before the Drive Unit is here. Right now at 30k but it's been making the noise since 20K and just getting worse. Mine is...

Any news on the adapters? Took my 1st longer trip last week down to Galveston from NW Houston. Tried charging at 3 different locations in Galveston before I found one working to get a charge to make it home. At Moody Gardens the Clipper Creek would not work on the RavEV. There were 2 Tesla...

I get the same entunes notices when I charge with a Mazanita Micro EVSE at another location. I have been using the Juicebox for about 8 months with my Ford Focus EV and had no issues. This was leading me to think it is the Rav4. I thought about trying the 110V that came with the car just to...

Shortly after I posted last night the Rav4 started charging again. I have a JuiceBox and yes I can see on the Android App that it's pulling power before it stops. myentune message: "Our systems indicate that your RAV4 EV 42814 vehicle's charging process was interrupted. Charge may have...

Went to charge the Rav4 tonight and it starts to charge, runs for 1 - 2 min then stops. I bought the car a couple weeks ago and had it shipped to TX from CA. I have more than a few times received entunes notices that the charging was interrupted. Once or twice when I checked it was not...

Ordered new tires and wheels for the rav last week. They will be installed next week. Got the Bridgestone ecopia L/H 422 Plus tires. Going to be putting on Konig oversteer 18 x 8 Wheels. I spoke with Bridgestone about the difference between the standard Dueler ecopia and the Plus versions and...

Putting new tires and wheels on this week. I was thinking of picking up TPMS. sensots from ebay and wanted to know if I was going to have a problem getting them programmed. Realize this is an odd thread. Any new info?

Anyone tried the leather seat covers from CoverKing at Costco? I was looking at the black leather but they don't look that particularly nice. _

I currently own a Focus EV with the 23Kw battery and am completing purchase of a Rav4 EV this weekend. 30 Amps or 7.2Kw into the 41Kw Battery would be roughly C/6 where 40 Amps 9.6Kw would be closer to C/4? Most of the manufacture info about charging Li-on single cells( not a string)...

I have some questions about charge rates and it effects on battery health, longevity, and range. If this has been covered someplace else then please let me know. I am interested in all aspects of charge rate on the Rav4 batteries, but specially at this time in charging at a Lower Rate. My...

I hear what you are saying, but I don't see your point. You stated that higher miles have less of a technical impact than on an ICE, then you point out that one with only 96k had the battery replaced. Only a small percentage of the Rav4 EV's have reached 100k and battery replacements are a...

This article addresses mostly routine Maintenance, which is not the same as reliably or its affects as the vehicle age. It does not cover what are know to be common failures such as motor, battery, DC-DC converter, heater. Tesla, Nissan, Toyota have all had teeth cutting issues. Currently under...
