Has anybody gotten their 50k mile battery and traction motor coolant replaced and if so how much did it cost? Did the dealer try to sell you any additional service? Thank you in advance.
The Roadster was Tesla's first product, a flagship high end product used to build Tesla's brand image in advance of the higher volume Model S. The battery swap helps build their brand image even further, whereas the RAV4 does nothing for them. So I see no circumstance where Tesla does anything...
Burnt/melted charging port from a charging station that had been recalled over a year ago but not repaired. Charging station manufacturer paid for it. Not a defect with the RAV4 EV but the problem came about because the RAV4 draws much more power than the LEAFs and Volts that charge at this...
The article describes how Toyota insisted on including a "parking pawl" instead if an electronic parking break and that Tesla had problems with the parking pawl on the Roadster.
Whenever I come to a complete stop in my RAV4 EV, there is a strange mechanical whirring coming from the direction...
I saw blue and silver Rav4 EVs on Portola Rd in Portola Valley this morning, one brand new white one in the parking lot of Fry's Palo Alto store.
In Chicago this weekend I did not see a single EV of any kind, no Leaf, no Tesla, no Volt, no Rav4.
$514 includes tax, the $4xx price does not. The lease payment is higher than earlier this year due to lower residual and slightly higher selling price.
There is no "toyota cash." You can get 16500 off the lease and buy the car the very next day after you take delivery. Or you can lease the car at zero interest and take your time on deciding. If you buy the car at lease end you will have paid a total of about $20 in interest ("rent") more than...
The imputed interest on the lease is basically zero. You can lease with zero down and then buy out the lease 1 day later and it would be much cheaper than buying up front. But why buy when you can pay down the lease slowly and see how the EV market unfolds in the next 3 years?
Brand new silver, southbound on 101 in Palo Alto this morning (Palo Alto Toyota dealer license plate frame). Owner may want to pay less attention to his phone while driving.
This has been noticed before by others. May be the design of the a/c system. If you can figure out where the air intake for the a/c is, try running the a/c on recirc and spray some Lysol into the intake and let it run for a while.
