He made no mention of the Prius or its reliability. I think he was sincerely asking a legitimate question.

I would hazard a guess that while technically possible, it is probably not practical. If you told RavCharge what you had set the departure times in the car to be as well as what power EVSE you were hooked up to it could calculate what the approximate charge start time is taking into account the...

In another thread someone said that turning on remote climate will force the RAV4 to send an updated location to the Entune servers. Normally it only sends its location at the point when the car is turned off.

It worked like a charm last night starting the charging at 12:30 am. I did get three charge starting emails though, at 12:30 am, 12:31 am, and 12:50 am. Looking at my power consumption the car started charging at 12:30 am and continued without interruption. One suggestion for future...

They already fixed it this morning. All that they did was cut out the melted section and respliced it to the panel, although they did a much better splice into the panel than how it was done previously. Our energy monitor does see a voltage drop with draw. For example last night it dropped...

It's a bit of a long story, but we lost power to half our house last night around 2:30am. It seemed like we lost one phase but figured I'd trouble shoot in the morning. Come sunrise I walked outside and saw this: The drop from the power line melted breaking one of the hots and the neutral...

Good job. PM'd you with my email. I assume the username/password combo is stored on the server. Not that it is a high value target, but do you care to comment on security?

I have a similar record and discounts and am paying just slightly less than you through USAA for the RAV4. I agree that paying for a lower deductible or rental car is just not worth it. It's kind of like gambling, the house always wins in the end or the insurance company in this case. On the...

I went to Carson Toyota for my 5k service yesterday and they disabled the backup beeping without a problem. They said they would normally charge for the service but would make a one time exception since I bought the vehicle there.

Thanks ufojoe! I fly out of LGB every couple of months so this will certainly save me some money.

I thought I heard Blink charged for time plugged in regardless off whether or not you are actively charging. Anyone know if that's true? More out of curiosity as given the issues with the Blinks I would avoid using them unless necessary. Anyone know how you actually get the free parking? I...

If you want to do a detailed analysis there are a couple of other factors to consider.  1.  Ignoring your EV usage, switching to a whole house TOU plan may increase or decrease the cost for your normal household usage depending on your usage patterns.  For us it turned out to already save us...

I understand your frustration with having an out of service car with no clear path to getting it fixed, but I'm not sure I understand the need to know the firmware version on your car. It seems highly unlikely that the firmware has anything to do with your problems. I don't have any insight...

Yes I was going for understated while still meeting the spirit of the instructions. I've had no problems so far. While driving on my motorcycle the other week I saw a Volt with only one large green sticker on the back that looked like it was falling off and it had no plates, just the paper...

I mounted mine down low.

It depends how long the hill is. Also remember there is still some regen in D so use N if you really want to save every last Watt second.

Yes I've noticed this. I believe it is part of the emergency brake assist. If you hit the brake pedal too hard and too fast then the car believes you are trying to come to an emergency stop.

I must have been a bit sleepy this morning, because I looked back at my entune email and my whole house energy monitor and charging actually started at ~12:20am this morning. So unless there is also a DST bug, it should have failed. No firmware updates since I bought the car in March.

My car actually charged successfully last night, but only because of the firmware bug that causes it to start way too early. In this case just before midnight. Correction: It actually started 20 minutes after midnight.

While I agree that it is most likely not the number one complaint mainly due to ignorance about TMS, I would disagree that you only need it in hot climates. Yes, you may not notice increased degradation in a 2-3 year lease in a cooler climate, but the car doesn't disappear after the lease is...
