Looks like he uses his car to advertise his company... if so the blue rims really draw attention and help in that regard. :) With that said, I wouldn't do that to my Rav!

Thanks guys, I will just turn it down completely; I won't bother going in. Normally there are no such things as great deals at car dealerships (unless going through Dianne of course :) )

Hi everyone, I just got a call from my dealership. They want to purchase my lease (remaining 24 months) and give me a 36 month new lease, same car Rav 4 EV, for slightly cheaper payments (~$30/month cheaper). What's the catch here? My assumption is, they are trying to get sales numbers for...

As an ex-500e owner, I would have to greatly disagree on that decision. I was very excited for this car when it came out but that feeling changed rather quickly. Pros: Fun to drive Cheap lease rate (well, not really.... see below) Stylish (???) Cons: Not practical for many uses This car will...

Yes, actually this has been discussed many times on this forum but I will give you a short answer. The range displayed is just a guess (nick named the Guess o Meter or GoM) of how much range you have based on how much electricity you have left in your battery and your driving habits. For...

I'm taking a guess here but hopefully a scientific one... Wider tires would also decrease your mileage since it increases the amount of surface area touching the asphalt which increases the amount of friction which means your car will "stick to the road" more... which ultimately means the road...

Sent you a PM

I agree, the optimal dimensions to have would be the area of the battery pack... but I can't seem to find that anywhere. I guess I could stroll into the nearest Tesla store with a measuring tape :) if they're busy enough they probably wouldn't even notice me measuring the battery. I still...

That's a shame! Good luck. Let me know if you need a Lemon Lawyer recommendation.

Yes, the 2,600 units figure is why I said "let's face it, that's not going to happen" which is, again, really unfortunate. If this was an on-going production vehicle there could be many opportunities. Speaking of replacing the battery, is the ONLY reason to replace the battery because of the...

*Edit: After reading all of this it seems this is a pointless post but I'd like to see other people's input on this or maybe start a discussion on it* I am trying to figure out the major restrictions we have on a larger battery pack. First off I need to say my knowledge on this subject is very...

Looks like I got lucky with my lease agreement/agents. He fixed the "0.00 per mile" portion but left the 36,000. Fortunately TFS caught it and corrected it with a confirmed letter.

Hey you may already know this but you'll get $750 rebate from LADWP for the charger and an extra $250 if you install a separate meter. https://www.ladwp.com/ladwp/faces/wcnav_externalId/r-sm-rp-ev?_adf.ctrl-state=8vh17cyua_37&_afrLoop=205324552149761 FYI they used to give $2,000.00 if you also...

Hi all, I was curious about how much I am actually saving compared to if I purchased a ICE Rav4 so created this spreadsheet. (Screen shot comparing ICE Rav4 and EV Rav4) You can download the spreadsheet here if you want to make your own comparison...

3) http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/30C (summary: you get 30% of your costs credited back to you) Also your Utility company may also offer cash back. For example Anaheim Public Utilities gave me a check for $1,500. http://www.anaheim.net/article.asp?id=4946 LA will give you $750...

Voice command works for some things... but so far my biggest complaint is having to use it to dial numbers while in a call. For example if I call for tech support and they say "dial 1 for customer service" I have to hit voice command, then say "one" then hit voice command and say "yes" I...

I don't know if Fiat has an Arbitration process or not (my assumption would be yes) but I think any car company can buy-back a vehicle at any time within a given timeframe (given the fact that you also want to sell the car back). With that said it's their call if they want to do it or not. If...

I understand the safety issues in using the center console while you are driving. That is why you are limited to what you are able to do (i.e. you cannot type in an address to the GPS). However, shouldn't the car know that a passenger is in the vehicle (weight sensors that alarm you when a...

I like this feature since I live in Orange County and a lot of the times I am forced to park my car in the sun. However I find that it takes a LONG time to activate (~1 minute or more). Is this the care with everyone else or does it happen quicker for some of you? My "screen off" on my phone is...
