    Removing low speed proximity sound

    I wish I had these skills. I'm going to drop my car off on Monday and tell them it isn't safe to drive, etc. Wish me luck.

    Removing low speed proximity sound

    Just for clarification. 1. I do have the Tesla Milling sound as recorded in YouTube vids. Same noise but mine is louder. That indicates the drivetrain-bearing problem, correct? 2. The sound appears only when I accelerate and disappears when I coast. Is that the motor itself going bad? A...

    Removing low speed proximity sound

    Thanks for all the info, friends. My 2014 is at 52,000 w/ the platinum. I will see what happens next week at Roseville Toyota where I bought the car and the warranty.

    Removing low speed proximity sound

    Sounds like I am doomed. Update: I booked an appointment soon to have the 55k service and to have the noise checked out and documented - as if that will do any good. I do have the platinum warranty that is still good, but probably for nothing.

    Hello to the Remaining Rav4 EV Owners Out There

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I have an NX Hybrid and a 2014 Rav. I think that's a winning combination. Teslas have become too expensive to insure, not to mention repair. I am hoping for a better something from Toyota in the future or maybe a Ford ev.

    That's what duct tape is for!

    Hello to the Remaining Rav4 EV Owners Out There

    Sacramento here. Second owner of a 2014 with 52000 miles. Had my first service a few months ago. The coolant needed replacement and a strut or some-such was leaking. I also had the 12 volt replaced - shoulda asked for a new one upon purchase. I only wish that I could change the motor noise to a...

    I'm driving mine until the doors fall off or the battery gives up.

    Bay Area repair shop that can still work on RAV4EV?

    Roseville Toyota (Sacramento) services mine. Not quite the Bay, but they are very good.
