The big one is the traction battery coolant. That one costs, from what I read in past posts, 500 to 800 dollars USD. Have not checked myself, but at least from previous posts it is expensive. PER THIS POST HERE: So if this is any true you can do the inverter yourself but the traction battery...

I spoke with the guy from the shop and he said the 12k ish price for the repairs actually included the wiring harness, so that means the price isn't going to go up any higher. He showed me part of the harness that got pinched and cut and he said they could have tried to fix it themselves with...

The issue with the parts is that they are holding back on ordering them until they absolutely do everything possible to find 'after market parts' for every single one of them, and that if I want any originals when after market is available I have to pay the difference. Thankfully because the...

Hi Co, The car is @ the Toyota Collision Center being worked on 'by the pros'. The other driver was found to be 100% at fault. I'm in a rental, but the gas prices were are starting to get crazy. I think december last year they were about 2.50 to 2.60 now its 3.00 :(. I'm never going back to gas...

Just got an update: I was told the original repair for the rav4 ev with out a tare down and full inspection was going to be 6,000. Now that they did a full tare down and inspection they increased the amount by another 6,000. So right now the total cost to repair my rav4 ev is 12,000. They said...

Hi guys, The other driver should be 100% at fault. He made the illegal u turn in front of me and quickly stepped out saying it was his fault and that i would be 'taken care of'. it's my first accident so i should have wiped out my camera, but i was totally lost shocked and confused. No police...

Thanks CO, Yes, I feel the Toyota Dealership will likely be the best bet. Any thoughts on diminished value for the RAV4 EV after this incident goes into the car history? I will try my best to file the diminished value claim, but it doesn't sound easy. I read the professional inspection of the...

Hi Co2112, I actually bought it used at a non-toyota dealer. No accidents in the History. I guess that will change now. I was reading this here: http://www.autodamageexperts.com/diminished-value/faq/ "11. Who is working for me… the repairer or the insurer? The consumer is usually pitted...

Hi Guys, I spoke with the adjustor and mentioned that I can take the care to get repaired at their progressive body repair shop where the adjustor office is or I can pick a bodyshop for example the local toyota dealer that has a body shop. Would it be better to take it to the toyota body shop...

Itś sprinkling a little today and figured I would put the fuse back in for the front wind shield wipers so they can work while I drive. Placed the fuse back in and nothing. Iḿ not sure why they are not working. They were before I pulled the fuse. Now that I remember I used to get an error...

Hi Miimura, You are right. I called the insurance company and was told if the other party admits fault then my rental car can be covered through their, I think it was called, property damage liability total. Something like that. So hopefully if the other party still admits fault like how he did...

Hi Miimura, That's a nice electric motor you have there :). Would you happen to know if when taken to a toyota dealer repair shop the dealer can provide a loaner at no charge? Maybe through a benefit on the extended warranty or something? Admittedly I did not check.... Thanks for getting back...

Hey guys, I'm ok and so is my family member. I was driving up north on a 2 lane street and a man in a chevrolet express comercial van suddenly made a U turn from the #2 lane while I was on the #1 lane. He was making a U turn so he could go South. There were 2 other lanes on the other side going...

hey there I only plug in 2 items in the cig socket under the center console. The first is an old small cell phone that my mom owns and the other is at rate times a flash light of moderate size. Out of the two the one that likely could pull more is the flash light. I asked my mom if she had...

I pulled the fuse first because I need to buy the tool to undo the screws on the battery clamps and inspected the fuse. Doesn't look broken. Just the blade has some discoloring and I wonder what that is from. http://imgur.com/gallery/ov6hp for some reason images aren't loading I...

Hey there :)! Power cycle is disconnecting the 12v battery? Not going through the regular power button on ready on traction battery on sequence? Won't I lose all the info on the computer if I do that? Last time they hooked something up in the obd port when they changed the lead acid and the...

So after my lead acid battery cooked up and spilled acid, plus got vented into the cabin while I slept with the fan on, I changed my lead acid for the suggested Bosch Platinum Series AGM Battery Group, Size 24F. Since the cabin air filter smells like battery acid (I guess it got saturated from...

If you put on smaller wheels your RAV4 EV's odometer will add up quicker because the odometer is calibrated to run on size 17". Since the wheel is smaller it goes around quicker than the bigger wheel (Ok its more technical than that but you should understand that I hope). Interestingly if you...

https://electrek.co/2017/01/30/tesla-opening-up-service-replacement-parts/ Could this be good news for us? I think there could be many benefits right? Plus we could do our own 50k mile service where they have to open the valves on the coolant with the Tesla service tool? Thoughts on this?

I always thought Tony was the owner of the forums just because of how much he would post, how fast he would respond, and just the amount of knowledge he has shared. Crazy to know that he isn't. I hope things end well for both parties. As for facebook that isn't an option for me. That place is so...
