It appears that the 'ears' on the retractable cargo cover are a weak point of the design, and once one of them breaks off the cover becomes non-functional (and can't be easily repaired by reattaching the broken part). To make it "better than new" for a small cost, simply remove both of the...

Yes, I'm in complete agreement with the majority here - STOP this silliness now and fix the problem. Even if you don't start a fire (not too likely, but possible), there will come a time in the near future when you won't be able to make an effective connection. It is evident that the plug on...

Unlike others, I use it daily set for my departure time from work. It does exactly as it should, and effectively "works off the mains" when plugged in - but with sufficient (believe I read more than fifty percent?) charge level will work independently even if charging isn't possible. Only two...

I can confirm that the Siemens charger works well, and is very easy to install due to its 'plug & play' design. All you (or your favorite electrically-inclined friend) needs to do is mount the appropriate outlet and put a couple of screws into a stud for the bracket. I also tried to go with the...

Did a bit more research, and posted more info on the "Tire Pressure" topic (no need to repeat here). May change sooner rather than later, for improved traction and lower noise. Pete 12 Blizzard Pearl, Naples, FL

One observation, made after re-reading the manual "just a few" times: There is an instruction regarding inserting the J-plug which says something to the effect that you should insert the plug WITHOUT depressing the release button. Seems obvious enough, but it is also easy to push the button...

Fair enough - and even more reason to seek a more optimal fitment going forward. Some research with aforementioned objectives in mind, and reading of dozens of user reviews points toward the Nitto NT850 Plus CUV as a good choice -- rating 500-A-A means it will last about twice as long as the OEM...

Just checked - Tires (OEM on 2012, probably the same on all) are rated 280 - B - A 280 is, as mentioned earlier, kind of low but in keeping with other LRR tires. That said, I'm not certain these would be rated LRR. One more thing to look up, if possible, since rolling resistance isn't as well...

Assuredly no two situations are likely to be the same, and in most it's never a bad idea (just as with doctors) to get a second or third professional opinion. This isn't rocket science, and any competent electrician can do the work. In my situation, inspection of the 200A service revealed that...

On a related note, due to the physical configuration of one of the outdoor/while-in-use-covered outlets I use regularly, I decided to change the straight-exit plug on the supplied cord to a plug with a 90-degree cable exit. Since it's a mechanically-assembled plug, easy enough to disassemble &...

I too have the Siemens unit, and recommend it highly. Of course they're all overpriced, considering the actual content, however this unit is light weight and versatile with the 'bottom fed' cord/plug included. Thus, it also fits the bill as a 'portable' unit. The 'delay' feature isn't...

Just a general note, since it's possible some are unaware: ECO Hi is the most-efficient operational mode for the climate control. Yes, counter-intuitive for most casual observers, but in this vernacular apparently 'Hi' refers to "highest efficiency". Here in the warm flatlands of southwest...

Mike, Wow - talk about driving the wheels off... :o With a 'June delivery' I have limited RAV EV experience, but lots with tires, so a few observations: Already noticed that the traction of the OEM Yokos isn't quite up to snuff (too easy to break loose on acceleration). Noise, well, yes you...

New owner of a 2012 here, already frustrated by the timer (seems a common condition..). Agree just from reading the past several pages of posts that (too) much agida exists, and just a little progress is being made in achieving a complete understanding of what appear to be multiple interrelated...
