Hi, can anyone help me with this (Updating with the RAV4firmware through the Tesla Powertrain Software) I just went through about 2 weeks of working on my car to remove and replace the failed OBC with a used Tesla Gen 1 model charger but it still wont charge!! Error message says "Charging...
Aight folks here's the deal.
I have a 2014 Shoreline Blue, 88k, ~ 130 miles Tony test, Used car platinum warranty good til 110k miles/ July 2022 (transferrable once). Both 110V & 240V charging cables included.
(Does not have JDEMO)
I would really like to keep ownership of it but am headed...
Oh silly me! You meant THE 12V BATTERY didnt you?! :oops: (How much was that btw? and how long are these supposed to last? i'm not sure whether I may need to replace mine soon)
HOw do you have a battery that's only a year old, in 2017? Did you get it replaced?
BTW I had the same thing happen this week with my GOM (going from around100 to suddenly 130 on regular charge) - but that was after a loss of 12 V power of which I'm still unsure what the cause was (maybe a...
just for completeness and accuracy's sake - FYI I did end up purchasing a rav4ev, 50k on it, with the extended used car platinum warranty, and am glad I did. THe heater went out after about 3 months - toyota took care of it - set up a date to bring in the car, gave me a free rental for a week...
Tony - I was just looking on your website and it said that the GO Cable can NOT be used with the 2012-2014 Rav4EV?
What is the best recommended, inexpensive portable EVSE for the RAV4 EV?
Thanks Tony and LLN
now we're noticing that while we drive, the eco-light on the dash goes on and off randomly. Also the climate control (AC) seems to be blowing even when we have it off - we still feel some air coming out. Not much but enough to notice if you put your hand in front of it. More...
URGENT: How safe is it to drive with the cabin heater out - can one avoid it taking out the dc-c converter if one simply avoids turning on the cabin heat??
So I was all excited to announce that I finally joined the Rav4EV club but here's my story - picked up a really nice shoreline blue at...
Two questions:
Is there generally a certain mileage at which this problem manifests in a "bad" motor - in other words is there a mileage at which it is safe to say - if it this hasn't happened yet, it probably wont, or is it that the motors prone to this failure can show it at any time.
Also...
THanks!! Oh so computer stuff is covered to 6/60 too! that's pretty good.... It seems the main thing is just the heater, and if that is simply to blow hot air - and we live in California AND It has working seat heaters... I think I can survive...
Thanks - I;ve been trying to find out - how/ where do I get a platinum used car warranty? Is it possible to get one from Toyota even if I purchase the vehicle from a non-toyota dealer?
I hear you. Thing is - even if I lose the gamble (heater goes on me) the cost will be less than what I pay to...
