OK, so I am looking at trying to get from SB to Anaheim and it is 132 miles. Clearly, this is more than I can go, even with an extended charge. Does anyone have that chart that Tony made (I think) of how many miles you can get per hour of charging? I am wondering if I go for an extended...

Thanks, that's helpful. So you feel that the build quality on the Leaf is better than the RavEV? Time is running out (for me) and I'll need to make a decision soon. I'm still contemplating several options. I wish my residual was lower. It seems crazy that I will be able to turn my car in...

I was wondering about a lease extension as well. I've read that BMW has offered that for some of their i3 owners. Has anyone here been able to extend their lease?

Thanks for all the thoughts and feedback. It's been helpful. The Bolt news is out and it looks pretty promising. No release date as of yet, but it looks good. I just took my RAVEV in for the recall notice and got the run around (no parts, we'll call you, it's Tesla's fault, Oops, got to go...

My lease is up in July, so this is a bit premature, but like many on this list, I've been thinking about whether to keep (buy) the RAV or let it go when the lease ends. My daily driving averages 20 miles a day with longer trips on the weekends. I have two kids that I routinely cart around...

"...a Weibull analysis of that data suggests that two-thirds of early (2012 and 2013) Model S cars can expect a drivetrain failure within 60,000 miles." Seems like this will have an impact on our Ravs as well. http://bit.ly/1PZDUtC

My RavEV definitely hums now. I only have 15K, and between about 25-55mph it definitely hums/whines. It has gotten much louder in the last couple of months. I know that there has been a lot on this topic. My question is the process. Have those that have dealt with this issue done the...

So I want to go to Los Alamos from Santa Barbara and back. If I take hwy 154 I climb 2000 feet, then drop down to valley. I'd have to do the same heading back. Total miles 102 according to Google. Or, I can stick to the hwy 101 and go around through Gaviota. 114 miles round trip, but a minimal...

It is hard not to have your EV. The dealer told me same amount of time, but it came sooner. Good luck.

Thanks for all the info. Very helpful. I was particularly interested in not using regen on downhill to hyper mile. Just focus on as consistent output as possible the whole way. I'll go for it and report back. Sadly, when I get there, my hotel won't have a charger. :oops: There is one nearby...

I need to make a trip from Santa Barbara to Irvine in the next couple of weeks. It is 138 miles according to Google maps. When I complete an extended charge, my GOM usually says 106-110 miles, but I see people on this board well exceeding that. The road from SB to Irvine is mostly flat. Going...

Hi Jimbo, Yes, I'd get the RAV EV again. If an EV fits your needs, the RAV is still a great combination of size and range.

Thanks Uleite. I'm glad yours worked on 2nd try. The new Tesla computer was installed today, the firmware took, and I'm back in action. Now I'm wondering if my car will charge on the 31st of the month with the new software. :lol:

Confirmation that a new computer (ECU) was ordered today. Awaiting shipment and installation.

That's what happen to mine as well. I really hope they can figure it out without having to order a new ECU.

Uleite, Yep, that's my EV. :( I guess another tech is coming out tomorrow. I hope they can figure it out. My service rep told me he had another EV in today. I hope we both get our EV's back soon.

Miimura, that is good info. I wish I had that going in. I have a feeling they didn't follow the sequence. I suppose to hear back tomorrow about the status.

Dsinned, that is a great idea. Actually, on day 2 of trying to unbrick my Rav, the tech told me that they tried to swap out the 12V battery with a new one and then retry the firmware upgrade. It failed again. :( It looks like it might be an ECU replacement, though I was just told we won't...

So, at my 5K service, one of the firmware upgrades glitched, and now the car is dead. Dealer says it might have to wait for a Tesla engineer. That could take awhile.

Is there a charger at your school. If you could charge at school, that would take the pressure of using 120v at home.
