While walking past the front of my garaged Rav, 2 hours into a charge using my newly installed CS-60, I was surprised to feel heat coming from the front of the vehicle. I popped the hood and took a temperature check, 105 degrees. Ambient in my garage was 70 degrees. The circulation pump was...

Excellent review... The reviewer, unlike most, understands how unique the Rav 4 EV is. He really supports how I feel... there is no other vehicle like it, and won't be for years. It's nice that the Toyota discounts are mentioned too.

That's a great question. I really hope this is all related to a simple hardware failure of one component.

Yes you're both right... It's an outdated term. Pulse and Glide was an old Prius technique... it's soooo 2005 :oops: It's for hybrids... Pulse the engine up to speed, usually 45mph, then glide down to 30 mph. Repeat as necessary. I went from Seattle to Portland and back and got 65mpg. :o But...

Yes.. although I use B mode most of the time, I don't use it at all if hyper mile'ing, unless I've misjudged my coasting distance. Then I'll drop it into B to brake for the regen. But as most know, "pulse and glide" is the best practice for max distance. Since the Rav is so great with range, I...

I use B mode most of the time. I prefer one peddle driving too, just like the Tesla guys. It's common for me to commute to work while only touching the brake peddle for anything under 15 mph, or pulling into my parking space.

Yes... I have experienced the lag too. It's very noticeable when comparing to the Leaf. I have trained myself to not to depress the accelerator too much when on a hill... otherwise it will lurch. I don't see it as a problem, just not as refined. It's perhaps a .5 second delay. It's a software...

A local Leafer got a chance to test drive my Rav4 ev the other day. He ended up writing about it in his blog. Mostly positive. Dave in Oly was the first Leaf owner in WA, and posted on Prius chat for almost a decade. He may become a Rav4 ev owner someday... time will tell...

Thanks for your PM. I'm sure you are in good hands with Port Townsend. You've owned 78 vehicles... wow http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=338&start=120 It's looking like a faulty gateway is causing many if not most of these failures. That makes life easier having a suspect...

Rodland Toyota in Everett. Tell em Doug sent ya. Speak to Bob Gardner, Service Manager , or Dan Myers, Assistant Service Manager.

The crappy Leaf GOM makes the Rav's GOM seem like a genius. I can "past predict" the weather by looking at my Rav GOM. If it reads 95 miles, it was raining and in the 50's yesterday. If it reads 110 miles, it was dry and in the 60's or 70's. Another comparison is where I live, on top of a 400 ft...

Yes... with all the short comings, there is still one huge overriding factor, http://www.pbase.com/doug401/image/150386709 Don't loose site of the goal 8-)

I'm in... Invitation accepted for the launch part :) Saturday morning, June 29... It's on my calendar. PM me if you need more info.

Yes... "car multimedia" is the default name. "RuvMyRav" is the default Scooby Doo name. ;)

Yes... I did the same thing. But it didn't end there. After delivery was delayed by one day, and dispatchers not returning my calls, I was getting extremely nervous. I then realized that Entunes was showing my car 1 hour south of us in Tacoma. I looked at the wife and said "road trip... were...

I'm waiting on my new plate.... "4GETOIL" Saw it on a California Tesla. Checked for Washington availability and nobody had it. Thanks unknown Tesla driver... :)

With my iphone 5 with version 6.1.2 "settings" "bluetooth" select "car multimedia" menu arrow... Note: do this while out of range of your vehicle. "show notifications" to "on" That's it... very simple.

Service is not a problem in Washington State. I attended a Rodland Toyota "New Owner Q and A" last night. My invite was unsolicited, they contacted me. During the RSVP I asked if they understood this is a Rav EV and I didn't purchased it at their dealership, but in CA. I've voiced my concerns...
