No, I think they started at 1000 or 1100

Back on topic. I was in the same focus group as sobayimage and then was selected for a more in depth interview the next day. In attendance was the original moderator, a cameraman, and 3 guys from the Toyota Technical Center in Michigan. I learned a lot about the car from the technical guys and...

Got my stickers today. In total in took over 90 days because the dealer misclassified my car. It was seven weeks since my corrected app was resubmitted.

10/12/12 VIN# 1194

i had two similar situations but both times I thought they were user error. I will have to keep an eye on this.

I had the same experience with the dealer classifying the car as a motive power gas, which has delayed my HOV sticker.

I posted here: http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=165 that I applied for my sticker on December 8th and on January 14th I found out that the dealer had mistakenly registered my car with a motive power of Gas. I got the dealer to sign an affidavit and have been waiting almost 6...

I got my car back yesterday and after two weeks driving a Prius loaner it was sure nice driving the RAV. I knew a couple days ago that it must be getting ready because I got several Entune messages that it had finished charging. Reportedly they replaced the charger with the help of some Tesla...

So if I understand what is being said is that the CARB credits apply to the model year and not necessarily when the cars were sold. Sounds counter intuitive to me but it is a government regulation. LOL

As far as the sleeping or going on standby is concerned I experienced a similar phenomenon. I have a Schneider EV Link which has a built in timer. I have never used the Toyota schedule but one time I tried the timer on the EV Link and it did not connect on the first try, but after unplugging it...

Yes I will. I did get a call from Kevin, who had contacted me after I responded to the survey. He said my car came up on his system and he was contacting me to see if everything was ok. He is from Toyota corporate and it is nice knowing that I have a contact there and to hear directly from...

I heard from the service rep today and he said Toyota has diagnosed the source of my error codes to be a faulty on board charger. They expect to receive a replacement this Friday and then have to get a Toyota technician to install the new charger.

110 in series and 41 in parallel (110s41p)would give you 4510 total and a pack voltage of 396 assuming a nominal cell voltage of 3.6. These cells charge to a higher number (4.2v) than other LifePO's that I am familiar with. They also hold there nominal voltage much farther into the discharge...

I just got a call from the service guy at the dealership and he said Toyota technical support says those error codes relate to a "pulse and valve in a circuit" He will get back to me with what their plan is to fix it. He didn't have more details on where these devices are or what they do. In the...

That estimate of 50kWh full pack size means that the 41.8kWh is about 80% and that is consistent with what a lot of the DIY electric car conversion guys are using as a measure of usable size. On a normal charge then 35kWh would equate to 70% and that is conservative. I used 80% to determine...

I got that message once or twice and seem to remember it was was when I had set Home as my destination and the distance to Home was greater than the remaining miles on the fuel guage.

I agree with Tony. Isn't that what Toyota is implying when they say that using extended mode will shorten battery life. Because the charge/discharge curve is flat with very steep knees at either end, it is important with this battery technology to stay away from those over charge or over...

Yes, I understand Tesla has a sophisticated Battery Management System and I also heard that they ping our cars daily and use that data to further increase their understanding. I would agree with your source that the best approach is to leave it plugged in and let the BMS do its thing. I have a...

Waidy, Thank, I understand what you are saying. That article was pretty generic and it wasn't clear if the article was talking about capacity by measuring voltage or actual capacity in Ahrs. It also doesn't show the discharge curve for LifePO4's. I think Tesla is very conservative about how...

I have not had that experience with other Lithium batteries. Could you explain what you mean by "discharge itself"?
