I recall for the cars for some of the above issues w/Rav4 EVs dying and not restarting along w/the check EV system warning message, for many (most?), it involved either replacing the (Tesla supplied) gateway ECU and/or firmware updates, right? Am I right about these being two threads tracking this?TonyWilliams said:aarond12 said:From what I've read, the problems with the RAV4-EV is a computer communications problem between the Tesla computer and the Toyota computer. This doesn't mean the Tesla hardware is unreliable -- just that there is a programming issue with one or both of the computers.
Sorry, but there are far more problems than that with Rav4 EV.

the cars die and won't restart, plus plenty of other quirks.

I haven't had time to keep up w/the issues and whether it's been resolved for good.
It really is unfortunate as I'm somewhat of a fan of Toyota and unreliable Toyotas are unusual.
