@@executivecallahan1599 a bucket of bolts is exactly what Toyota has become. Gone is the old reliability they were once know for. My 2013 Lexus gs transmission started going out even though I was babying it.
@@executivecallahan1599 The transmission on my Lexus is sealed, there isn’t a drain plug or fill location. You literally need to take the transmission off the car, take it apart to get the old fluid out, then pour in new fluid and seal the transmission up. Do you have any idea how much money a job like that would take? It would cost thousands. This is done on purpose to break transmissions and make the customer pay.
Toyota you guys see how much people want this vehicle. Plug in hybrids are so much better for most people than electric cars. You get 30 or 40 miles on a charge and you don't have to worry about range anxiety because you still have a gas engine when you need it most like in really cold winters and on road trips. Please ramp up production and give us more plug in hybrids. We could use a plug in camry, highlander, tacoma, and pretty much every other model you sell!
I def agree. The auto industry should have transitioned their entire line ups to hybrid/plug-in hybrids and then later transition to fully electric. That would have giving people plenty of time to adjust.
I was at my dealer the other day for service on our old Toyota and jokingly asked a salesperson is it even possible to buy a Prime and he just burst into laughter and waved around to the nearly empty showroom and front lot 😞

@@toyotausa thanks for the reply. what I mentioned above happened last December. We were planning to trade in for a Prime last year, but it became clear it was never going to happen because there was simply no inventory and waiting years on a list just wasn’t feasible. We’ve since moved on to a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV instead.
Best car I ever owned! Toyota should have gone with the "Prime" branding globally, and not just in the US. Also the vertical DRL look amazing, but only available on US model??? Come ooon! :(
Wow! What a great vehicle!!! Just make sure you have EAR PLUGS for all the ROAD NOISE- this thing is LOUD- like REALLY LOUD!!!! I've ridden in commercial trucks that are quieter- literally! Same as all RAV 4's have been.
On the MSN article for this Kur Kat ask if this is a copy of the Chevy Volt from 13 years ago. No, it isn't this a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle that doesn't have the same structural defects a FWD car does. And since it is a hybrid with just an electric motor which I believe is powered by the gas engine there is no need for a battery which is the main reason as to why Tesla catch on fire or blow up. (A structural defect around it actually.)
I have a 2011 V6 Rav4 that I bought literally out of the showroom a dozen years ago. I like it. This Prime has me tempted to replace it if availability becomes good enough that I can test drive one.
I just don't understand why you guys always give European market power folding mirrors but we never get them here. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be willing to pay extra for power folding mirrors! Also, please just bring the Venza Prime over stateside already! And offer more color options for the current Rav4 Prime! Cavalry Blue would certainly be very nice on a Rav4 Prime!
cost, because anything with more technology cost more to fix. Higher insurance, higher repair cost. Toyota knows this, this is why you buy a toyota over Mercedes. Yes The Mercedes will have all the cool stuff you want, but when it needs to be repaired, then it will cost enormous amount of money. One mercedes light will cost you $7G, and your insurance will pass the cost on to you. If you dont need it, fold the mirrors yourself.

@@bjsimon802 i live in Europe and all my Toyotas (even my tiny 1999 Starlet Glanza - JDM) came with electronic folding mirrors. Zero failures. 100% reliable and very useful feature. I was amazed to hear that US models don't get them
@@ryufrank Pretty sure power folding mirrors are mandated in the EU because the streets there are generally a lot tighter than they are in the US or Canada
@@ryufrank In europe you pay more for cars, well those cost are coming higher here. But there use to be almost 20G difference for certain model, those gaps are getting closer. But also americans are about cost savings, this is why base model are popular. Some of those sensor like tire sensors cost $10 to $17 to program. They know if somebody wants more premium features they will buy a lexus. The next car above the Rav4 is the Venza which is more premium, and then the Lexus NX. I am sure those features will come standard, but toyota likes to make it simple. Less moving parts, less breaking. I love technology, and I love germany cars innovation. But I can't imagine paying the costs related to these cars. I work with Physicians who keep them less than 5 years, sometimes less than 2 years.
It's only good if it can be used. When availability is fixed, I'll call it better than good, superior even, but until then, it's just a frustrating tease.
Waiting for my blueprint Prime to arrive. Would have loved a calvary blue Prime or even a lunar rock one, but alas Toyota don't carry those colors for the Prime. I have to ask. Why not? It's like RAV4 Hybrid got all the cool colors, and the awesomer Prime gets stuck with banal ones.
Are there any other Toyota owners out there who are pissed off that when you start the car, the display comes up with the "Experience Drive Connect" banner? It stays there till you hit a button to change the display to something else. I paid $50k for my R4P, and I'm forced to look at an ad for an optional (and overpriced) add on?
Curious and I don’t know much about plug ins. Can it be charged on a 15 amp 120v circuit? In particular a cycling one. Many hotels have outside plugs that cycles off and on to lower demand and consumption?
I cannot see paying a significant price increase for a plug-in unless the battery gets 100 miles. Of course, a hundred-mile battery will provide 75-80 miles in cold weather.
I thought you will include a 0-60-100mph acceleration clip in this video. Too bad dealerships don't have vehicles to test drive. Hopefully will test on my buddy's Rav4 Prime.
@@markngo2054 already did. Specifically the red Model S on my AUXITO DD-Y13 LED video. Yes the initial acceleration is very good. Don't want to disrespectful, but the driving feel, the quality of the Model S is meh. Something like a Lexus ES would be a much better quality car than a Model S for me.

The hunger sell strategy doesn't work very well but pushes Toyota's potential customers to much faster and more affordable Tesla Models Y & 3! That is why Tesla Y claim the No. 1 seller in the world, not Toyota RAV4 anymore!
@@sandwichxiii You can do better than using ‘literally’ superfluously. Dealers order vehicles they want. You think Toyota just ships random cars? You know nothing about what you’re speaking of. They’re being shipped all around the country when supply is available and the dealer request them. SO, you should “literally” understand how this works before you speak, basement gamer.
Switch dealers. Some will stick with MSRP and taking a drive to pick it up from a further away dealer isn't very expensive by comparison. Personally I still won't do it though because I want to test drive one first.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of introducing and developing one of the hybrid engines that operates with Litehome high-voltage batteries and a gasoline engine.

I feel it's still a good deal because you only buy gas for long trips whereas traditional non-plug-in hybrid burns gas every day for the most part.
