More Toyota propaganda, if you believe these talking points are Toyotas long term permanent strategy then their misinformation campaign is working brilliantly. Those that think Toyota is not fully engaged in advance traction pack development also would believe the low priced Tesla is going to be...

There is no public statement that Toyota will not be selling EVs in the future. Because they are developing hydrogen cars does not mean they will never sell EVs in CA in the future. If EVs make sense to sell economically for Toyota or any other company they will be selling them, that is almost a...

You need 277V @ 40A. It's about the higher voltage.

"In Spec" LOL.

Anyone that looks at all the terms of the RAV deal with Toyota knows why. These are stopgap marketing deals structured around BS investments and nonsense "tech sharing". It was all temporary back patting to help solve problems. Think green washing/NUMI/CARB/Union contracts.... The list goes on.

The RAV does have a 9.6kw plus charger that is 40A. It does NOT have a 40kw charger which was stated. In fact you can charge a RAV at 11kw at home with a simple transformer on 240V. Toyota is really good at smoke and mirrors and their history proves this, If making EVs now does not make sense...

Like the one from a RAV owner saying the RAV has a 40kw charger :roll: Toyota does not hate EVs and it is ignorant to think Toyota USA operates independently. Toyota is not stupid and they will produce an EV when it makes sense for them to do so, all this anti-ev talk from them is simply more...

Toyota's view on domestic EV production is smoke and mirrors IMO.

There is a 5% tolerance in each direction so it is within spec. I have seen much higher than that and they won't do a thing.

What is the magnet supposed to stick on? I hope nothing outside the car unless you buy a dozen or so. The simple version of this is a sign that says do not unplug unless all lights are off. Anyone having repeated issues with being unplugged should lock their handle with a zip tie. I'm not sure...

Why would you tint a RAV it comes with really good factory tint.

Most 12V issues are user related to only have the car on the 12V and cycling it often or deep damaging discharges. I have had not 12V issues on any Ev ever with many years of operation. Those that do often abuse the battery unknowingly.

That makes more sense, reducing unsprung weight and keeping the tire efficiency the same.

New tires break in and the range increases in most cases. There are a number of variables.

I would be surprised if it was not better. The range at first should be worse than the old worn tires then better.

Which I have never seen honored by a tire maker at least not the OEM tire warranties. Like mattress warranties

Factory Ecopias could be bad and the varied quite a bit but they were the best range tire for a LEAF period.

Take a look at them they look different.

I wonder if there is a big difference between the Ecopias and the Continental LX20. The Continentals have 2 lbs more and I have a new set on my truck and the traction is very good. Knowing the Ecopias on my LEAF were the most efficient tires available but may not translate to these, I would...

Tony, when my lease is up I hope you are correct:)
