    Dec 2014 sales Rav4 EV - "37" Production Ended Aug 2014

    Looks like you know more information than me. I am just hoping that the price will continue to drop and they offer a purchase option which would make the price more enticing instead of a measly $2500 cash. I am building in Los Altos, and my house won't be done until late summer, and my rental...

    Dec 2014 sales Rav4 EV - "37" Production Ended Aug 2014

    There is only $5 million guaranteed, and the website says that they are allocating about 2500 cars per month. That means that there might be 24 days or so before the money runs out, and it has already been 5 days since they suspended the payments. So, if you buy your car at the end of April...

    Dec 2014 sales Rav4 EV - "37" Production Ended Aug 2014

    if the $2500 california credit is gone, that is a big price increase to most people. it looks like the incentive is the same, so they will probably sell less than 40 next month.

    Maybe they are trying to see if they can sell 0 units of a car in a month.

    So, I guess I win the informal pool. Although I had a big range of 50-100, and I thought it would be closer to 50 than 100, but still within my range. I agree with others. If they don't lower the price, the number of cars sold will continue to drop. At Costco on Coleman Ave in San Jose...

    That's the best thing about this whole "debate", we will know the answer in about 2 weeks. The thing that makes me feel better about my bet is the numbers that Dianne posted earlier. If she sold 48 cars last month out of 167, that is almost 29%. Earlier, she posted that she had 17 cars at the...

    The numbers that I see are about $10-15 less/month. minus the shipping fee, puts people in the $200-$300 range. Can you tell me what you paid versus how much you think it would've cost in northern california?

    Do you think it is logical to try and save $200 and buy a car from a dealer 300-400 miles away, and not see the car before buying it? And then say it is illogical to not want to spend $2500 more for the same car 3 weeks ago. People keep talking about other reasons other than price, but just on...

    We have a little side bet on how many RAV4EV will sell in the month of October. I am like you, and I think that number will determine the incentives for the following months, but then again, I am just one opinion who doesn't influence Toyota. I think the price jump percentage wise and on an...

    I just realized that my commute will shorten even more when we move to our new place. It will drop down to below 4,000 miles/yr for just the commute miles. If I round up to 15 miles per day, I am up to 3750 miles for 250 days of commuting. Currently, I am at about 30 miles/day. In about 1 yr...

    How can I convince my wife?

    Hi, Can you tell me which booster seat you are using? Will most booster seats fit 3 across? Are you using backless booster seats? Are you using the LATCH connection? thanks

    [moderator edit: delete] I can use the HOV lane because I am carrying multiple people in my car most of the time when HOV lanes are restricted to high occupancy. i am not comparing the rav4 ice versus the rav4 ev. i am looking at the rav4 ev, and i am making a judgement call for myself, not...

    If I want the cheapest overall cost, I will buy a highly reliable 3 yr old vehicle which gets good mileage. I feel that an EV has limited functionality, and so with most things that have limited functionality, I don't want to pay too much for it. Other people feel differently and there is...

    Maybe, that is the reason, maybe it isn't. Just a couple of quarters ago before he stopped providing this information, Elon Musk stated that there was a backlog of 15,000 cars and they were adding cars to the backlog as quickly as they were delivering them. He also stated that they are...

    I am not sure how you are counting. How do you arrive from $52k to $33k? Why are people taking it so personal? Obviously, there are many people and Toyota included who realize that the RAV4 - EV is not selling well. One reason is that people think the price is too high. Of course, there...

    I am not worried about it. I just think with the price increase, the rate of selling will decrease dramatically, and then they will have to add more incentives to encourage people to buy them. Of course, that is just my biased opinion. If they are all sold before I get mine, then I will look...

    I was not convinced that it was such a great deal, and I would guess that most of the population agrees. I am still considering it, but if I wasn't going to buy it last month at a lower price, there will be no way that I will buy it this month at a higher price. I guess some people will get...

    If we decide to get one, we will just wait until Dec or Jan or whenever. I can't see paying more for an older car. What is the current residual? I am not sure how the previous person calculated it as nearly the same. It looks like the $1400 difference in incentive + the reduced residual is...

    so, who thinks the number of rav4 ev selling in october will approach 0. The car is basically a one year old car, and the price has increased. Who will lease one now? Everyone that was sitting on the fence will probably wait until November to see what kind of new offer will be presented. At...
