Got a Tesla - in Toyota clothing

OK thanks, well the main I try to do is keep track of PiP incentives, but good for you on it.

 

I imagine Toyota doesn't want them sold out of California because they are made because of a California law requiring so many 0 emissions vehicles for every manufacturer, I'm sure each RAV4 electric is sold at a loss. Toyota only wants to make as many as they have to.

 

Ball park pricing on the Tesla-Rav4 ?

 

$50K.

 

what do you use for charging? do the numbers you see for charge time match the specs? Do the RAVs get the same OEM charge link we get for the PiP?

nice car

 

I agree, it's not much like a Tesla, except for the range. I'm not sure why they didn't do this with a Prius instead.

 

I'd probably carry a portable generator with me if I were going out of town.

 

Ya, I can imagine an all electric car wouldn't make a lot of sense for you up there where there is probably a long trek between towns.

 

Between shanties even, and 40 below, Yow!

 

Jealous! Nice ride. Well maybe I can wait for a NS4! Or look at the Mercedes B-Class.

 

lol at people still thinking the NS4 will ever be real

 

If I drove and EV I wouldn't test the limits of the pack either....
I'd love to get a look at the gauges you have

 

If you were getting 18-20 from a PiP and you're now getting 4.9 miles/Kwh , I'm pretty sure your driving style could be described as : SLOW. How else can someone achieve those numbers?

 

avg. mph and topography tells the story. hard to record acceleration.

 

I agree that 18-20 consistently is high at least for me, although I've gotten 19 in the PiP several times already this summer and I average around 14 mi ev

But, is there something wrong with going slow or slower then most others on the road, especially at the red lights?
Maybe it's a difference in hybrid culture, and there's always hybrid racing if there's a need to go faster or keep up with the other cars around.

 

no, there's nothing wrong with slow.

 

That's some top level input that is both relevant and extremely important to the conversation. Thank you for your continued excellent service to the forum.

 

Just pointing out the obvious.
But as some say, "Nothing wrong with slow".
But it's only the slow that would say something like that.
It's not a technique that gets you great EV numbers. It's SLOW.

 

Again...you know how much all of us hang on your every word. Thank you for being here.

Actually...all sarcasm aside...you are about as well liked here as the school bully is. Maybe wording your posts differently may change that.
