    trickle charge vs. 240V

    I did this reset without incident after a few weeks of driving my car like a rental. Gosh, those were the fun days! Prior to the reset, my GOM was only giving me 79 miles on the standard charge. Post reset, the GOM was 125 miles. Since the GOM takes into account your recent driving habits...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    Welcome to the forum, Tim. Tim and I purchased our cars the same day at the same dealership and it's been nice to know an EV guru and local owner to bounce questions off each other. When he told me about the noise, I was really concerned that he'd struggle to get the issue acknowledged, let...

    $7500 Cash Rebate - 2/5 - 3/4 ! ! !

    I dunno... the Model S has that fast charging network... and is one hell of a sexy car! Ignoring what the value of the Rav4EV could rise to if gas hits $5/gallon... I just feel like with all the technology packed into this thing, the price of this car is seriously approaching its salvage value...

    Window "Fact" Sheets for Onlookers

    BEHIND THE WHEEL | 2012 TOYOTA RAV4 EV With a Jolt From Tesla, a More Electrifying Utility By BRADLEY BERMAN Published: August 31, 2012 VENICE, Calif. THE top speed of a vehicle usually doesn’t mean much — until, that is, you’re running late for a flight, as I was in Los Angeles a few...

    ECO Coach

    I'll bite. I've been watching my acceleration patterns and have found that keeping the power bar (green and white vertical indicator to the left of the GOM) in the green will give you at least 80% score. BUT, I don't think that's the whole story. On occasion, I've had to give the car more...

    QR code sticker

    Going to this website is not a bad idea. We might not even need to write a script. Maybe just start a sticky testimonials thread? I'm still hoping to get a "Tesla Inside" window sticker made... I could foresee maybe integrating a QR code into such a sticker...

    QR code sticker

    I thought this was an interesting marketing idea... Because I absolutely LOVE the RAV4EV, I would probably be willing to keep a small window QR code sticker on my RAV, so that curious onlookers (heck, even just my friends) could scan the code and learn a bit about the car... Would you? See...

    Ca rebate refund?

    So, is this basically saying that any owner to a Toyota vehicle should have gotten the loyalty cash? If yes, is it possible to get this rebate retroactively? I'm feeling a bit peeved at my dealer right now if they messed this up. As the money is direct from Toyota and they don't even...

    Charging Malfunction - Turtle w 1/3 charge remaining?

    I can testify with absolute certainty that if you drive while the TMS is heating the battery, AND the HVAC is on (in my case ECO Hi) then you can have abysmal efficiency. Here are the conditions and efficiency numbers reported on my ECO Dashboard for my 'last drive'... Conditions: 30 deg, car...

    HOV vehicle sticker ( decal )

    Thanks for starting this thread Ampster. It's going to save me a lot frustration, and hopefully others too. Can you please post a picture of the dealer's comment's/signature when you have it? I looked at the form and there doesn't appear to be any dealer specific signature space. It...

    EVSE's that won't work on the Rav4

    I've used a clipper creek unit at a local free charging station. Not sure what model.

    VIN numbers

    FWIW, I haven't seen ANY indication that anyone posting regularly here has any affiliation with Toyota. Please don't confuse my or other owner's enthusiasm for sharing the awesomeness of this car with anything other than the outspoken cheerleading of early adopters!
