I'll second that! I have owned 8 Toyota or Lexus cars over the last 17 or so years and every one has been rock solid reliable. Never any real warranty issues or failures until now with the Rav4 EV. Maybe I have been lucky but I am a believer in Toyota quality. I think Toyota reliability is a...

I agree as well. Starting to feel that nice guys come in last and up to this point I have been very patient and too nice! Well the squeaky wheel is starting to get very squeaky and loud. We will see if I get some "grease"! I do believe that the dealership has... and are doing everything they...

Notice they don't show a cutaway of the battery.

But wouldn't you think Tesla has to warranty their part of the vehicle thru Toyota?

It's Tesla that is the problem... not Toyota.

Yup... I agree. The service tech said early on that Toyota kept saying to reseat connectors. He said that he has done that repeatedly and the components were not communicating. They (service department) are very frustrated with the Tesla side of things... that they don't want to reveal their...

Mine has been in the shop 1 week today. The Toyota field engineer came by both last week and today but no luck. Now they are waiting for a visit from the Tesla engineering guys from the bay area to further check it out. I know the dealership service tech is doing all he can and now is at the...

My guess is they don't want them back at the end of the lease. Toyota does not pass on the $7500 fed tax credit like Nissan and other car makers do. This is a big reason why most buy instead of lease. As it has been discussed many times... this car is a CA compliance car and nothing more...

This has been advertised for a while now... since March if I remember. I looked into this with the dealer before I purchased and the lease price includes the 10k as cap reduction... not PLUS 10K as the the ad states. Not sure why they list this way but they do and have for some time now.

Very nice! Going to get one myself. :)

Interesting... thanks for the link. I wonder what supplier they use for the J-1772 plug/cord as that is a large part of the expense for the openEVSE build. I think the Leviton 30A 24' J-1772 is now priced around $140 retail. I bought an earlier version board from Mitch Wolrich on MNL for my...

I did go by again today and the service tech said that he is still waiting for Toyota and Tesla to get back to him. The car powers up and shows 165 miles range (I was assured it was not sitting at 100% charge) but the Check EV system still remains. He said the computers are not talking to one...

That's cool! Did you have to enable something or is it thru Siri?

Well... talked to the service tech and they really don't know whats wrong. Toyota is talking to Tesla and Tesla is talking to Toyota and the dealership technician is in the middle. The tech is kinda frustrated with Tesla and said communication is somewhat limited as they don't want to give up...

That is weird. I can't offer anything else as I am on an iPhone 5. Mine only keeps playing when I stream thru bluetooth.

Yeah the display said "low battery temp and charge level". I thought that was unusual with the warm weather we were having the last couple days. The car is garaged as well and doesn't see cold overnight temps.

Well I just got an update... the battery completely discharged itself while charging :o. The LO range indication was not a false indication of state of charge. They are charging now and in touch with the Toyota tech services people to further find why it did what it did.

Were you listening thru bluetooth audio or Entune? Sometimes I launch either Pandora or iHeart Radio on the phone itself rather than thru the apps screen... seems to not give the buffering message as much in rural areas. When streaming thru bluetooth, upon car shutdown it starts playing audio...

I will call today and hopefully find out more. I will report back...

I have no doubt whatsoever that Toyota will stand behind this car as long it is under warranty... or a Toyota ESP service contract. ;)
