Reading through here I feel like I really got the pic of the bunch. I only drive in Florida. I picked this up in 2020 with $45,000 on it for $12,000. Now it has 152,000 mi on it. It's our only car and it's been the most fun thing I own. Our range is around 80 right now. Sometimes 60. Who can tell what controls it all. I think it's basically estimating based on how long I sit in my car because my job consists of being local and visiting local businesses. We reduce the charge to 20 volts from 40 in the chargepoint app and that keeps our electricity really down a lot.
I haven't done any maintenance or had any weird effects. The motor always has had a little bit of a whine to it. But it doesn't seem to affect performance.
I'm reading here a lot about common problems and how to prevent Major breakdown but I have an attempted anything so if any of you are reading this and I have advice on maintenance I really should perform before things crap out... I have flagged this post for notifications.
Funny story.... Our Prius died at 250,000 mi and I was looking around the lot where we took it in to be traded in and this RAV4 was sitting there and the guy was showing me everything around it but not that one. And I'm like let me try... you know what is that?? I was immediately infatuated and undismayed by the range. Here in Florida it's flat and it's always mild weather so I think the battery has just outdone itself I can't believe my luck.
You think they're rare in California and the West Coast you should try driving when around Florida cuz nobody's even heard of it.
All the best.

PS the moon white paint job that was peeling was repainted by Toyota for free last year. It's insane this thing looks brand new still operates like I bought it yesterday. What a blessing!
Pps where do you find the number of your model I see people putting a four digit number after their car. where do I find that?
