Friends: 4 | I honked beside him and gave dude a big thumbs up! At least I hope he saw it that way .... just kidding, he waved back as he drove by. It was awesome to see the car on the road, knowing it's all electric, no emission at all! Is the Roadster the first production, all electric, freeway capable car that someone can buy? I'm thinking the Rav4EV was first lease only. Anyrate, major congrats to Tesla!! Last edited by cycledrum; 04-15-2009 at 11:36 PM. |

Friends: 59 | This morning I was behind a car with V8 engine (judging from the low rumbling of the ICE) at the light. The unburned gas smell got into my cabin so I switched from fresh air to recirculate. That wasn't enough, I opened the driver window. That made it worse so I closed it and had to open the rear window. I wouldn't mind behind another hybrid or a full electric car. |

Friends: 0 | My impression is that the Rav4EV was available as a lease or as a purchase. I believe Darell bought his new. A very few EV Chevy S-10s and EV Ford Rangers were sold as well, but maybe only to fleet customers, I don't know. |

Friends: 23 | RAV4EV was leased only. Toyota gave the option to purchase after owners and advocates protested about the crushing and the returns of the RAV4EVs after their leases were up. |
