    ALL POSTS - GOM - Range Meter - Distance To Empty meter

    GOM has been at 103 to 110 lately on normal charge. Suddenly it is up to 130 :roll: Or did the BMS just shift the rest of the extended range into normal?

    Wow the 2009 Toyota RAV4 Sport AWD is fast!

    Go ahead and turn off traction control and roast the front tires. Then put it in 4wd and experience the difference.

    Wow the 2009 Toyota RAV4 Sport AWD is fast!

    I meant with no torque limitation at launch the existing motor would be far more capable.

    Wow the 2009 Toyota RAV4 Sport AWD is fast!

    Just the AWD function would probably put RAV4-EV back in the lead.

    Preferred Dealers for Repairs / Warranty

    Carson? You must have had an OEM 12v battery because they would not even talk to me until my Bosch was replaced. Then they still failed. :roll: Can't even imagine having JDeMO. :( Absolute morons IMO.

    "Fixing E-Motors is all about changing out ball bearings"

    Electric motors have been around a long time and at far higher voltages and power etc. Suddenly Tesla invents a new issue? BS meter is off the scale. Poor design, plain and simple. This is the #1 reason I did not put a deposit on Model 3. Going to need proof of resolution.

    How necessary is a warranty? (Anyone out there without one)?

    I decided to go without the extended warranty. Drivetrain and related computers are still covered 60 months 60,000 miles. Battery even longer against defects (not capacity). Heater is the big unknown. I figure the price of the warranty will offset the first repair and I do not hear much with...

    Why did Toyota choose to electrify the Rav4 over RX350?

    Ready to hit the gas, but the whining scares me...

    Drive unit should be under original factory warranty. If that is the only issue then see if the local Toyota dealer will replace the drive unit.

    Ready to hit the gas, but the whining scares me...

    I would test drive it to the Toyota dealer and get the diagnostic in writing. Make sure there will be an EV specialist there when you go. NO, they do not all make that noise. Also check the heater. There is a list of things to check on here somewhere.

    Cost for a New/Replacement/Replace Traction Battery?

    I would not expect to be able to purchase a battery until the warranty is gone. That does not mean Toyota does not have inventory or that Tesla will not make batteries when needed.

    Even if you win a default judgement... good luck collecting. They do not just roll over and write a check.

    Lease Return Questions

    Use some superglue on the windshield or similar product from autoparts store. If the tires are more than 50% gone I would put on some cheepos. Paint scratches.... I don't know.
