Noticed this snippet as I was going through some old service records. Dealership couldn't find the cause of a noise coming from the front wheel. I explained it to them but they still didn't get it. Had to send them a link to the thread for them to figure it out. MyRav4EV forum saved the...

Got the car back about a few weeks ago. Spent almost 3 months at the dealership. I requested Toyota buy back the car under California lemon law. They agreed! Will update this thread when they provide me with the numbers.

El cajon Toyota I'll check the facebook group. This forum isnt as active as it once was.

Lost all power while driving on the freeway. No power steering no power braking. Towed car in and they had me replace the 12v battery. Told them it wasnt the 12v battery since I had experienced this before two years ago and both the 12v and traction batteries were replaced (took 5 weeks back...

Car failed to start/drive temporarily twice about a month apart. Took it in to elcajon Toyota to read error codes and they told me it needed a new 12v battery. They replaced it for 150 bucks. I picked it up and a day later it failed to start/drive but this time wouldn't start even after hours of...

Did prices go up? I called around and got these prices: 7/100= $1075+100+tax = $1286 8/75 = $885+100+tax = $1078 8/100= $1195+100+tax = $1418 8/125= $1555+100+tax = $1812 I am looking for the 7/100 or possibly the 8/125. I am in San Diego. Called Steve from Poway as Tony Williams recommended...

Its year end. At the end of the year... if you have generated more power than you consumed, you will sell those kwh's at 3.9 cents each. If you have generated less than you consumed... then I believe they calculate it per month and charge you based on your tier usage. I could be wrong about that...

SDGE buys your solar surplus at wholesale pricing which is about 3.9 cents a kwh. bottom line, you dont want to be producing less or more than your usage. Ideally, you want to break even. Selling it at $0.039kwh wont recoup the cost of the hardware for 20 years. Also, theres a 5 dollar...

Thats what I was trying to say.

dstjohn99, As far as I know, with Solar, you end up on Netmeetering and tiered pricing. I didnt know you could have Solar and choose TOU. Unless your not producing enough and you have more 200+kwh a month of usage from SDGE then it could make sense to switch to TOU. but at 14 cents for the...

5days/40 hours at $25 an hour is 1k. $40/h to $50/h is more of a realistic rate. A good guess is 1k to 2k in Labor. But I am doing about half the work so its only costing me 20 hours at 25 an hour.

I was looking on ebay. I saw bumpers with and without flares. What are flares?

It was the rear bumper... I need to install the tow hitch wiring so I need to remove the bumper anyways. Where did you get it painted? How did it turn out?

I am in the last steps of installing my own solar system. Going live after inspection next week. Summary: I got quoted $30,000 from Solar City for a 5.5kw system, did the job myself for about $12,000. I went with 4th gen enphase m215 and 24x230watt panels. Enphase inverters, Enphase...

Had a minor fender bender and I am pretty sure I need to replace the bumper. Anyone know if the gas version of our cars bumper works on our EV? Also, got a crack in my windshield from a rock. It spiderwebbed instantly so cant fix, must replace. 950 at the dealership. 175 at one of those replace...
