So now the RAV EV is essentially about $3000 cheaper than the Tesla? That is a mistake but consideringToyotas projected volume i am guessing they don't care

Congrats on your new ride! I'm quite interested in hearing how the RAV-4 EV works out for you. My guess is that with the bigger battery and faster L2, the lack of QC won't be a huge issue even though it would be nice to have.TonyWilliams said:I paid "full pop". They wouldn't budge.

On a purchase, it's $7500 cheaper than Tesla S-40.

The RAV4 EV is only available in White, Steel Blue, Grey or Pearl White.MrIanB said:Is white the only color available at the dealer or what other colors did they have?
JeremyW said:I haven't used the navigation functions yet (will this afternoon), but there's a whole bunch of red dots on the map where I've traveled. Not sure I need all those "waypoints" displayed. I haven't figured out where the volume control is besides the steering wheel. :shock:
I think what you've turned on is the "bread crumbs" feature.JeremyW said:The map also gets acne! :lol:
So, how does that factor into the "cost of ownership"?JeremyW said:I may be the first to have won this game.JeremyW said:Push sport button, win ticket
I've never heard of the Rav4 EV being limited to fleets only.gbarry42 said:And, Tony, what happened to the "fleet only" status of the RAV4EV? Did you flash 'em a Costco card or something?
And, last but not least, the Inside Only (TM) backup beeping is a Toyota feature familiar to Gen 3 Prius owners. Which can be remedied with the appropriate CANBus gadget (e.g., ScanGauge). Hopefully this property will extend to the RAV.

They've had it there since Gen 2. Perhaps it's due to the non-standard shifter (that began w/Gen 2) and the fact that you don't usually feel any jolt (that you would w/an automatic car w/a torque converter) when shifting to D or R? The Rav4 EV shares the same non-standard shifter.TomT said:I've never owned a Prius but what would possibly posses them to do such a thing? Do they think that their drivers are too dumb to KNOW they are backing up? :lol:

Congrats! I assume you'll be taking it up to Santa Ysabel later this month?TonyWilliams said:I paid "full pop". They wouldn't budge.

Maybe I shouldn't plan on renting one for a weekend - I may get the itch to buy one, too...
As I said earlier, I don't think I ever heard it was fleet only. Here's another non-fleet, I think.gbarry42 said:And, Tony, what happened to the "fleet only" status of the RAV4EV? Did you flash 'em a Costco card or something?

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff visited one of our Toyota dealerships in San Francisco today to pick up his new RAV4 EV. Our senior VP of automotive operations, Bob Carter, was there to hand him the keys. Check out information about our all-electric
