Hi folks,

I'm Patrick, a newly-minted RAV4 owner and newbie to the forum.

I'm based in the Pacific NW US and rolling around on a 2026 PHEV XSE with the four coolest factory packages (for my taste): Driver Assist, Pano Moonroof, Weather Package, and JBL Audio.

Looking forward to chatting with y'all!

Thanks! Tracking down this Unobtanium™ RAV was an adventure.

I don't have concrete numbers on EV range yet but I'm logging low-to-mid 3 mi/kWh. Since I'm capping max charge of the 22 kWh battery at 90%, and assuming a real usable capacity of 80%, that works out to a bit over 50 miles of range from 90% to empty. How about you?

And after almost 1k miles, I couldn't be happier with the balance of pack size, performance, and tech features.

My next step is to dismantle the dash to disconnect the DCM cellular antenna. I've already (remotely) disabled connected services, but I'm wanting to make sure it can't phone home unless I want it to

That's good to know! We are still in research mode

That's good to know! We are still in research mode, deciding on our next vehicle.
