Well - I can tell you that some dealers buy the Post Lease California EV's in bulk to ship to states where they are not sold - that is how i have purchased both of my EVs.
I live in the Seattle Area and just now we have 3 choices, Tesla, Leaf and Soul EV. these post lease cars are a blessing...
I just purchased a 2013 Rav 4 EV - I live in Marysville, WA and commute to Bellevue - thank you for sharing your experiences here - quite helpful - I also detected the clunk in mine - I will reach out to Toyota of Kirkland - thanks.
