Thanks. I knew I forgot something.

This has been sold.

I jumped on board with this pilot program, and was the first in San Diego to have it installed. I've now had it for 3 months and am very happy with the results. Before this program I was on SDG&E TOU-2 rate, so my household had peak rates between 12-6pm everyday. This wasn't too much of a...

Has the motor issue finally been resolved or will it need to be replaced over and over....well, until the warranty expires? My 2014 has 9400 miles with no issues, but I'm not looking forward to having this done someday.

dstjohn99, my 2014 RAV EV appears to have a high pitched white/whistle as well in the 25-50 mph range, which also varies by speed. I can't hear it if I have the music playing (which is 95% of the time). It does sound different than Tony's video, so I thought perhaps it was just the tires, as...

I purchased my 2014 RAV EV last May from Toyota of El Cajon, but I've only taken it there for the 5k service (currently 7,700 miles). Apparently they have 2 trained EV techs. I really like the dealer, as I've purchased a few cars from them over the years. Any problems I run into, I plan to take...

Fooljoe, are you able to send commands to your car? Is anybody else able to send commands to the car in the past few days? If so, maybe it is my car and I need to take it to the dealer. I'm currently on the phone with Entune customer support and filing a case #.

I'm having the same problem this week. I cannot remote charge via RavCharge or Entune. RavCharge won't force it to charge at 12am (TOU rate) like it normally does. :( I started thinking it was my RAV EV, so I was about to make a service call, but maybe I'll hold off if it's on Toyota's side...

email sent. I'm ordering 2 plates. Thanks for setting this up. Btw, to those who may be interested, they are putting this on my metal plates...

I agree. I would like to replace my cheap plastic frames asap, so I'm ready to place an order. Just let me know. Thanks!

LastEmp, how much does it roughly cost to have the doors dynamatted for sound insulation? Who did it for you? Thanks!

Ah, this is good to hear. Not that I actually plan to keep my RAV4 EV 200k miles or anything, but I just love hearing, reading, and learning about the BEV technology. Thanks Tony. Like many, in 2-4 years I expect to sell this and purchase a longer range BEV (hopefully the Tesla model 3).

Maybe nobody knows, but do you think the our 2nd Gen batteries will continue to degrade over the years, but then at some point (~30% loss) really slow down its degrade rate? Hypothetically, if you had 500k miles, maybe you will only make it to your local convience store before turtling, but at...

Tony, thanks for your insight. I think the reasonable expectation is for the newer battery chemistry to be more advanced and reliable, and having less degradation. Maybe it's all these things, but after reading the 1st Gen reports, it gives you pause.

That's too bad that the degradation is ~25% at 100k. Is cost the main factor you think as to why Toyota didn't ensure the cells were cooled like the Tesla's? If we plan to keep these cars past 100k miles, it looks like they'll need to have an extended charge just to main 100 miles per charge...

It looks like 1st Gen owners are reporting very little charging loss on their 100k+ mile RAV4 EV's. How is that possible? Are those batteries better then the Lithium batteries that we have? It's seems rather impressive.

One of my plastic Tesla plate has broken as well. I currently have it superglued to hide the crack. I'm definitely interested in a metal plate like this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been resetting the trip meter after each charge and also using the center console energy monitor, and those have been very helpful. Miimura, you're correct, the orange bar does jump to the shadowed position depending on the ECO mode. It just seems silly to...

Ok, thanks. I didn't think the those lines were supposed to appear until the range is under ~15 miles or something? If this is normal, I'm not sure how I missed this functionality this whole time. yblaser, what screen do you use? Here's some pics of it displaying 3 lines and also 1 line with...

Yes, I realize that these lines represent the relative estimated range between the different settings when on, but I don't have any of the climate control settings on, but the lines still display all the time now. Miimura, when pressing the Disp button, it does show the other information...
