No guessing required. He already told us it's 2021 Rav4 prime.

Ah ... good memory, way back in page 4 of this thread.

That's the one thing I agree about Tesla's and it's a pain in the ass if it's ever involved in a collision or requires major warranty work.

One example is that our Tesla Model 3 was rear ended, can't bring it into any body shop, has to be Tesla approved. My wait time was about 4 months before it could be repaired due to a queue.

One warranty issue we had was the rear windshield cracked by itself with no signs of physical hits. Quick turn around for the fix as it took two days, loaner car provided.

Other than that it's a great daily and it's our main family hauler.

Then there's my work car, BMW X1 35i M Sport. An absolute pig on gas but love the car though, even though I only drive it 13,000km a year with an annual fuel cost of $3300 at current gas prices.

Toyota/Lexus started being hyper sensitive about that stuff after the whole unintended acceleration fiasco.

Seemed stupid, but I think it's good they check that.

You'd be surprised how many cars I've seen that are dangerous to drive because of improper sized or improperly fitted floor mats LOL

My friend said his wait time for a Rav 4 Prime is 18months and he said they aren't even taking orders for the rav 4 prime anymore...

Anyone know if that's actually the case?

I knew about the acceleration thing, I just didn't realize they were *that* worried about it. I had it happen a couple times in my first car before I figured out the pedal was catching the mat and it's definitely unpleasant.

I wouldn't be shocked because if the wait list gets long enough we're possibly talking about a totally different generation rav 4 lol. My neighbor just went to buy or tried to buy a Toyota Sienna Hybrid last week and was quoted wait list is 2-3 years lol like damn.

Other neighbor put money down for a Prime early in the pandemic, still waiting. Man crazy times.

Chip shortage ...whatever that means.

If the STi hadn’t fallen into my lap, I’d still be looking for one of the Ford C-Max phev. Perfect family hauler and daily with the RS. Except for the afterthought trunk that’s filled with a battery…. SMH

What would happen if you bought specifically cut mats for her car i.e. weathertech and just replaced it. Would she lose it and demand you grab the old ones back and replace the new with old?

Prolly give him shit for wasting money on new floor mats when the old ones were still good

Grab the Phantom mats from Costco. They're rebranded Tuxmats specifically for Costco.

Custom fit for your car and gives it a nice feel. Just take them out and wash with a hose. Love mine and doesn't interfere with the pedals or anything.
