    Wrecked my beloved RAV4EV tonight

    Had an idiot in a merge lane try to cut in front of me and slammed into my side, then stopped abruptly in middle of highway and caused a 7-car pileup like an old scene from CHiPs. Tore up front right quarter panel, front bumper, rear bumper, and rear door. No airbag deployment. Lady behind us...

    Anyone going to FormulaE Long Beach?

    Although it would be tough to make it from Phoenix to Long Beach in my RAV, I'm trying to get a Tesla friend to go with me to Long Beach and take advantage of the Superchargers. I was excited to see that tickets will be free the race, so turnout should be great. Hope to run into some fellow...

    Dealer in Tempe, AZ has used RAV4EV

    Friend just texted this to me. If I didn't have a year left on my Volt lease I'd probably buy it. http://www.usedvwaudi.com/inventory/Used-2012-Toyota-Rav4-Ev/266417 This is the second one to come through this dealer, which is kinda crazy.

    G48 Blue Coolant for Phoenix Owners

    Assuming there's more than one of us, wanted to let everyone know that I have enough G48 for everyone in town and would be happy to share my bounty for free. Could only buy it by the gallon and now I have a lifetime supply. I'm in central Phoenix.

    Range Loss

    This is anecdotal, not based scientific measurements, but we've noticed a big loss of range on the GOM in the past three weeks. We're down from around 104 miles on an 80% charge to about 88, same AC Eco Lo setting, same driving patterns. We have been cooler than July and June, so it's not...

    Out-of-State service in AZ, Round 1

    So I took my RAV in for the 5k mile service and firmware upgrade. Said they talked to Toyota and they won't allow anyone to do the service, wanted me to go to San Diego. I do love San Diego, but don't want to drive there today for a minor service. Considering the upgrade hasn't been...

    Air Conditioning in 100 degree temps

    So it's not even May, but temps are already soaring above 100 here in Phoenix. I was wondering how the AC would fare, and the answer is that it's keeping up nicely, and I've only used ECO Lo so far. The car sat in the sun for about 2 hours this afternoon and it was 103, I got in and left in on...

    Tesla Axes 40kW model

    Well folks, looks like we have a bit of unexpected exclusivity. I don't need the bigger, heavier battery, but sure would love to have that Supercharger!!! Tony, please tell me they hid on in our car somewhere. http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/01/tesla-model-s-axes-40kwh-battery-option/

    Blink just replaced my cable

    While I haven't had any trouble, I got an email this morning from a tech with Blink. He said they wanted to service my unit, so I gave them a call and he asked if he could come out today, that they wanted to switch out my cable/handle because of the RAV4. He just left and I have a new cable...

    Couldn't shift into gear

    Perhaps this is a fluke, but I spent a harrowing minute in the parking lot of a busy shopping center this morning trying to get the RAV into gear. I've noticed it hesitates before shifting into D sometimes, but I backed up and moved the shift lever and nothing happened. Moved it around a few...
