Hi, can anyone help me with this (Updating with the RAV4firmware through the Tesla Powertrain Software) I just went through about 2 weeks of working on my car to remove and replace the failed OBC with a used Tesla Gen 1 model charger but it still wont charge!! Error message says "Charging...

Did you buy it?

Aight folks here's the deal. I have a 2014 Shoreline Blue, 88k, ~ 130 miles Tony test, Used car platinum warranty good til 110k miles/ July 2022 (transferrable once). Both 110V & 240V charging cables included. (Does not have JDEMO) I would really like to keep ownership of it but am headed...

134 / 146 after almost 60 k miles (~91.8% original capacity or 8.2 % degradation)

How did you get a replacement battery pack?

NO magic beans - only 134 on extended charge. Think this is the same thing I got last time anyways. Not bad at almost 60k miles now

Oh silly me! You meant THE 12V BATTERY didnt you?! :oops: (How much was that btw? and how long are these supposed to last? i'm not sure whether I may need to replace mine soon)

HOw do you have a battery that's only a year old, in 2017? Did you get it replaced? BTW I had the same thing happen this week with my GOM (going from around100 to suddenly 130 on regular charge) - but that was after a loss of 12 V power of which I'm still unsure what the cause was (maybe a...

just for completeness and accuracy's sake - FYI I did end up purchasing a rav4ev, 50k on it, with the extended used car platinum warranty, and am glad I did. THe heater went out after about 3 months - toyota took care of it - set up a date to bring in the car, gave me a free rental for a week...

Tony - I was just looking on your website and it said that the GO Cable can NOT be used with the 2012-2014 Rav4EV? What is the best recommended, inexpensive portable EVSE for the RAV4 EV?

Thanks Tony and LLN now we're noticing that while we drive, the eco-light on the dash goes on and off randomly. Also the climate control (AC) seems to be blowing even when we have it off - we still feel some air coming out. Not much but enough to notice if you put your hand in front of it. More...

URGENT: How safe is it to drive with the cabin heater out - can one avoid it taking out the dc-c converter if one simply avoids turning on the cabin heat?? So I was all excited to announce that I finally joined the Rav4EV club but here's my story - picked up a really nice shoreline blue at...

Two questions: Is there generally a certain mileage at which this problem manifests in a "bad" motor - in other words is there a mileage at which it is safe to say - if it this hasn't happened yet, it probably wont, or is it that the motors prone to this failure can show it at any time. Also...

THanks!! Oh so computer stuff is covered to 6/60 too! that's pretty good.... It seems the main thing is just the heater, and if that is simply to blow hot air - and we live in California AND It has working seat heaters... I think I can survive...

Thanks - I;ve been trying to find out - how/ where do I get a platinum used car warranty? Is it possible to get one from Toyota even if I purchase the vehicle from a non-toyota dealer? I hear you. Thing is - even if I lose the gamble (heater goes on me) the cost will be less than what I pay to...

I'm looking at two options, both have around 24k miles, but one is 2013 the other 2014 and I need to buy it by tomorrow to be eligible for the new car warranty. With warranty, the 2014 will be $5000. more expensive.... I'm just wondering, if the heater which is the most expensive fix costs...

Congrats! I'm still trying to locate a vehicle that hits all our criteria. How much did you pay for your TPW? I'm trying to get one from Troy Dietrich (toyota Greenfield) as others have posted on this forum but never catching him in office for some reason.

Hi, not sure if I missed it in the 25 pages of this thread! but can someone tell me how / where I can get the best deal on a USED CAR platinum warranty?

Thanks for the feedback guys. BTW I left out the mileage of the dealership car - it's also 24k so unless it's past the. 36 months it should qualify for the new car warranty. As far as resale value, let me put it this way - if I can resell it for close to what I pay minus what I saved in fuel...

Hi All, my wife & I really like the Rav4 EV and we've been reading up here a lot, test drove it, loved it. Main thing I'm wondering about is the $$$. Couple questions: Two main choices are a 2012 with 24k for $17k (from Carmax) vs a 2014 (from Toyota dealer) for $21k. Which would you...
