I put down a deposit for a rav4 prime last year. Got a call today saying they have a few that came in that were not allocated yet. Non with tech package so I’ll have to wait until the next batch comes in
I'm surprised they have that many SE, rumours were that was just a low volume model to qualify for subsidies.
I put my deposit down Dec 2019 at open road but no news or calls yet.
Having seen the pricing I'm actually considering cancelling my deposit should our turn come up.

Price & Options is on Toyota.ca
I put my deposit on Nov. 2019 at Destination Toyota.
Just got my phone call 2 week back to pick my preferred model, color & options.
still no eta date of delivery
Yeah I saw the pricing when it was first announced and it was way higher than anticipated for what you get, which is why I am on the fence with it now. It's reaching into entry luxury compact SUV territory.

That's my only option for charger location.
Garage is too small to park the new Plug-In.
I have mine in the carport. 240 volt plug in. I went plug in, because it's portable and I can take it with me, when and if, I move. Purchased it from Clipper Creek in the US. Duty Free, 'cause made in the US of A. Picked it up in Blaine. Brought it across without paying a cent. Back when borders were still open.
I have a receptacle inside the garage and one outside the garage wall. I used a welding extension to get the unit up high and at the furthest point possible without getting it in a place where it can get wet. It's rated for outdoor use, though. I have the truck and the SUV parked in the carport, so I needed the extra length. It's really reliable and simple. Just plug in and it starts. Disconnect and it goes into standby mode. I have two of them, actually. One for the house (Nema 14-50) and one that I used to plug in at work. Welding outlet (Nema 6-50).
I'm retired now, but go back once in a while. It comes in handy. Even if it's level two, it gets the job done.

Alright, have driven about 100km so far in the UX. I can totally attest to the fact that people believe the fuel gauge is broken when they get into their first hybrid LOL. My fuel gauge has maybe gone down like 1mm? It's nuts.

2015 i3 REX reporting in. IMO, this is a great car for <$25k. We love the compact design, yet tons of room inside. I can fit two bikes with the back seat folded down and the overall interior build quality is what you expect from BMW.

I find that with most newer cars. I would pick up a Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, or some American equivalent POS rental at the airport, and for the first 100 miles (not KM) or so, the fuel gauge doesn't move, and then out of fucking nowhere, the needle is at "E"

Reason: Added detail
How is the i3? Any electrical issues, or typical bmw problems?
none so far *touch on i3 interior eucalyptus wood
Pretty much maintenance free like other EV cars. With the REX, the only cost will be the filter and oil change, but it doesn't seem too difficult to DIY.
I think it's a great option if you want to try EV, don't want to break the bank with buying Tesla, but still want some refinement and technology compared to a used Nissan Leaf.

Been looking at these as they are getting cheaper. They have such narrow tires which always make me go WTF?
Japanese carbon fibres, spun in Washington, constructed in Germany.
Apparently the bicycle tires are expensive and were hard to find a couple years ago since local dealers were snatching them up during the influx of California off-lease models.

^ Holy, using the heater reduces the 100km range by half??!!?!?
Also 5 years 170,000+ km?!?!? damn that's a shit ton. He charged it like 1700 times hahaha
I think he is exaggerating because the km range will increase once the car reaches the desired cabin temperature. When I precondition the car during the winter period (from 14 degrees to 22 degrees), I have on average 100 km EV + 100 REX before I head out
A popular mod for REX owner is to code the car so that you can activate the REX mode at your discretion. This is a useful feature for long distance highway driving to maintain the car's SOC.
OEM Tires are about $700-800 for all 4. Costco and other major tire shops carries the Bridgestone EP600 and they often have cash rebates. If you drive conservatively, the rears last for about 20k.

If you compare the 2014-2015 BMW i3 BEV to a new BMW i3 or Tesla 3, then comparably it does have 'awful range'. But you're comparing it to a car that costs 3-4 times as much and the older BMW i3 caters to a specific driving routine and style. If you need to drive over 100 km a day, then I would not suggest this car and nor would I wish to be in that position because that is A LOT of driving everyday.
I can see myself keeping this car for the next 5+ year. It has been a great daily so far and I estimate it will save me roughly $2000 in gas every year.
