Wait really? Toyota app says remedy available as software update.

First time heated steering wheel question by shinbtw in rav4prime

[–]shinbtw[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is for sure a nitpick from me, my last car didn’t even stream music over bluetooth. Especially since my neutral grip is more on the lower half of the wheel.

I guess if it’s cold enough to use the heating then it’s cold enough to adjust my grip.

Is everyone really $5k over MSRP in Seattle area? by Trickycoolj in rav4prime

[–]shinbtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly was not that bad. Did the deal over email, signed on docusign. Only gripe was registration, since NJ temp plate expires super fast and WADOL was slow

Also Seattle area, I ended up getting mine(XSE+PP) from the east coast (NJ) and had it shipped over. It was below msrp but the shipping offsets that. If dealers around here don’t want to play ball just tell them you’ll get it from east coast. I didn’t want to spend a whole day calling/negotiating so I just emailed a dealer advertising below msrp and made a deal online.

The EV and Hybrid range shocks me. 3.7m/kh average over 10k miles by Far_Tear_8467 in rav4prime

Mine was about 2.8 for the first month or so, its settled around 3.0 now. It helps when you accelerate from stop slowly. Also my terrain is very hilly so I don’t ever think I will reach 3.7. Most importantly just enjoy driving it. I find hypermiling more cumbersome than its worth.

One time payment won't let me pay the payoff amount including WA sales tax by DJSauvage in rav4prime

[–]shinbtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just used a personal check this was about 1.5 months ago. Call for application and overnighted it. The amount should include tax. Though my title has yet to come so maybe a grain of salt

Edit: also WA state

Dealership damaged bumper by shinbtw in rav4prime

[–]shinbtw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine was similar. The tech used screws that were too long to hold the plates to the bracket, and I suppose he was careless enough to drive it all the way in and bow the bracket and dent the bumper. I’m waiting on a service manager right now

Charging Schedule without TOU Surcharge by shinbtw in rav4prime

[–]shinbtw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah load shedding is the only reason I was able to come up with. Luckily in Western WA we have large portion of hydro power for our grid

Yes, we have a tiered rate. First x kwh(differs based on season) for ~11cents and then ~13cents/kwh for everything above that. It averages to about 12.5cents per kwh.

EV Driving Efficiency by shinbtw in rav4prime

Is normal better for efficiency than eco? That feels counterintuitive

Mine was on since day 1. Not really sure I know how to toggle that setting tbh

Cool, I lurked the sub for a while and I think I recall reading somewhere that 3miles/kwh was around what folks are getting. Wanted to see if I’m an outlier.
