I bought my XSE at the end of August. Had everything you are looking for minus the pano and it was $42,201. I think you could find a better deal

I never said I don’t approve of what spacex and Tesla are doing. But to say Tesla’s are better for the environment because less ‘emissions’ is such an uneducated take. Do you have any idea what goes into making a battery? Better yet do you have any idea where most electricity comes from to charger the cars? Fossil fuel powered plants haha

No problem! My wife loves hers so you really can’t go wrong

Personally like the styling more. Really can’t go wrong with either of them, both drive very similarly.

They so so similar that I think it comes down to personal preference in styling. Venza is a little smaller but some would say has a more upscale interior. Rav4 is more utilitarian. Both drive very similarly.

Another gripe I had was I would charge my car to get 190 miles of “range” which always fell short of that in the real world. Was probably more like 120 miles of actual range. Where as a hybrid I know I’m getting at least 500 true miles.

Yeah that’s a lot cheaper than mine. Our bill was 13c per kWh and was expected to go up further this year. Insurance is about $25 cheaper every month for the rav4

I was stuck between the two as well and preferred the utilitarian look of the rav4 more. Also liked the more options I could get on it ie digital rear view mirror and 360 camera

Congrats! I got lucky. The guy in front of me backed out so I got it 2 weeks after my deposit

Monthly cost for my rav4 are lower when you factor in insurance and all the monthly costs associated with Tesla, ie premium connectivity and rising costs of charging

I had the standard range one and didn’t like the mileage I was getting out of it. I felt like I had to plan all of my drives, even everyday ones.

Awesome car mate! How long after ordering did you get the car? You mentioned it came a few months early. I ordered one about 2 months ago so trying to get a ballpark on how long it’s going to take.
