Has anyone found a good source for factory or aftermarket touch up paint? There are color codes: Blizzard Pearl: 070 Classic Silver Metallic: 1F7 Shoreline Blue Pearl: 8V5 I see sellers on eBay for around $11 or so.

My car had been soaking for 24 hours and plugged in for the first 12 hours or so. I went to drive it and it was in turtle mode for the first 5 minutes or so of the drive. I didn't pre-heat the car and it was 10 degrees outside. It wasn't a big deal as it takes me 10 minutes on residential...

There is upgradable firmware in the Tesla components (Tesla Gateway Control Logic Module), the Nav unit sofotware and GPS maps. Updating the GPS maps is expensive as you pay for the maps and the dealer to do the update, which takes around an hour. EV Gateway Control (Tesla Firmware): 1.3.101...

I bought my 2012 Rav4 EV at the end of last year and claimed the full $6K rebate on my tax return. After five complete denials and five protests, they finally agreed to refund the $6K to me. Then, a $4,995 check came in the mail. WTF? :cry: Apparently, they do the math different from me...

Toyota has switched to a lease incentive. Seems to me they would offer both lease cash or a purchase rebate unless they plan to crush the cars off lease. For purchased cars, manufacturers are required to keep parts around for 10 years. With crushed lease-returns, that means less Tesla parts...

Forget the timer issue, I am talking about the yellow battery error light. I have never had an issue on my two RAV4s. I have Aerovironment and Clipper Creek EVSEs. If you review the forum, it appears these issues are rampant. I bet with a little polling, we would find it is caused by an...

I now have two RAV4EVs. When I load Entunes on my Android it only shows the first car. I have set up the second car on the web site. Is there a way to have the app control both cars?

I did a little searching and couldn't find anyone describing differences in the new 2013 model. Are there any?

Let's follow the format of purchase date and VIN to keep it simple. Only post the last four digits of your VIN. I will post the lowest number we find. 11/29/12, 1153 I put the winner in the subject line. Anyone have lower?

I often drive without heat when needing range. I press the button that recirculates the cabin air rather than introducing cold fresh air to the cabin. The windows will start to fog after a while, but that isn't a big deal when trying to stay warm with just the seat heater. What annoys me is...

I find it very irritating that you cannot use the nav unit while driving. I think there is a sensor that locks most functionality if moving. Even if I have a passenger, I must pull over to interact with the nav unit. Does anyone have a solution that works. These guys sell one for $310...

I never buy one at the dealer that I buy the car. There are a couple dealers that specialize in selling these cheaply to anyone on the Internet. In the past, they have priced for about half what the dealer I buy the car from says is their "cost." The warranty is from Toyota and redeemable at...

It is very cold in Denver with the temps around zero to minus 5. I plugged-in last night with my Toyota Level 1 charger with 110V outside. The yellow charging lights came on as normal. This morning, I checked my charge with Entune and got a Charging Malfunction message. I sent a preheating...

The temperature has been in the teens here in Denver. Here is a photo of my GOM predicting only 66 miles range after a non-extended-range full charge. I was surprised to see 2/3 of the normal range.

My Blue 2012 RAV4 EV just arrived in Denver. Fresh off the truck from Anthony at Tustin Toyota. I have a Nissan Leaf, but it couldn't get me from Denver to the ski areas, which was the only reason I kept around an ICE backup car. I have sold my ICE car and now can do 99.9% of my driving...

OEM tires usually suck. I typically only get 10-20K on them so replace them right away. The size is 225/65R-17 and they are Yokohama Geolander G91. Anyone have an opinion on the stock tires? They get sucky reviews. My new RAV4 shows up in a couple days. What tires would you buy for ski...

I heard that the Model S uses Panasonic cells with nickel-cobalt-aluminum cathodes. But, I also heard that the 80KW model uses different cells from the 60KW and 40KW versions. Does anyone know which cells were actually used in the Rav$?

I would like to gather a list of the EVSE chargers that do or don't work. Please post your successes or failures. Toyota Approved - RAV4 Original Equipment: Leviton's Level 2 (240V) 40A, 30A and 16A Toyota Program models and EVR-green series EVB40-SPT Panasonic Level 1 Unit that comes with...
