Thanks a lot for that detailed info Tony. It really helped me make up my mind on how to proceed.

I have a question about warranty on my leased RAV. I had a 12000 miles/year lease. I am creeping up on the 36000 mile odometer reading but still have a few months on the lease. I dont mind paying for extra miles but am not sure if the warranty runs out after 36000 miles. That would be a big...

Has anyone here seen one in flesh, taken a test ride etc? http://www.chevrolet.com/bolt-ev-electric-vehicle.html MSRP of 38,000 puts it squarely in the Model 3 projected price range. Tesla will certainly make a better product and if priced around the same the choice is easy.

Do tell more about these batteries. Where does one source them ? Or, are they your product? Installation? Cost?

Hi Tony What exactly do you have in mind for the 'range' issue. I do agree with you that the RAV EV is a more practical automobile and I would rather hold on to mine next May if a 'range' solution is in sight.

Hello folks, I recently learnt that the RAV does not differentiate between the standard or the 40 amp charger, and it calculates the planned charging time on the assumption that its a stock charger. Is this correct ? If it is I am guessing I need to program in a later departure time in the car...

Yep, #101 in Walnut Creek. Although, the more I think about it a used 7 seat Model S fits the needs better. Let see when test rides become available.

Plenty of options, not the least of which is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13-lVO5cJEM

I am waiting for the Model 3 release. If it goes 200 miles on a charge and is under 35k I will probably return my RAV next summer.

You dont have to wait for the lease to be up. You can also sell it before the lease is up. Just look on ebay and/or carmax and see if you have one listed to get a ballpark. I sold my leased X5 to a MB dealer about a month before lease-up date and made a couple grand on it (actually more...

Hi I am considering to upgrade to a Tesla and am unsure on what to do with the RAV. My last leased vehicle, I was able to sell it before lease expired. Is this something that some one has tried with a low production car like the RAV EV. Thanks.

I just saw one this morning but did not have enough time to open and see what its about. Will check when I am back home. Did anyone get a recall notice in the mail?

I'd like to keep it if there was some kind of battery upgrade or add on. Something like this: http://nomadic-power.com/ At this time neither of my work sites (State of CA) offers EV charging. If the state steps it up and begins installing chargers I'd be very interested in keeping the car. I...

Hi I leased my RAV EV about 8 months ago. It has given me zero problems (well unless you count the charger door issue....but thats negligible). I was seriously hoping that the Tesla Model 3 would be out in the market by the time the lease ran out on the RAV....but THAT aint gonna happen. SO...

Almost never.
