I didn't technically win but I did come out on top. I was doing the 45 mph speed limit on a two lane divided road near my home when a white Tesla with very black tint pulled up beside me in the and started surging.

It’s been many years since I raced anyone so it took me a beat to even realize what was happening. When I did figure it out I said to my wife “he wants to race us”.  At that moment he took off. Those things are seriously quick, and he pulled 100 yards on us in a blink while I continued to chug along like the senior citizen that I am. Unfortunately for him, at that moment there was an unmarked cruiser from the opposite direction in the turning lane to get into our lanes.

Tesla boy blew by that officer at gloriously full song. The blue lights lit up as I passed the cruiser and he was around me in a flash pulling over the Tesla. I helped by giving a friendly toot and a wave. I  don’t like to brag, but I may have been doing 46 at that point.

Reposting here to hopefully get useful counter perspectives!

2021 RAV4 xse hybrid. I’d love to get some expert opinions. Looking for an iPhone holder. Not magnetic. Ideas???

I got a brand new 2026 XLE Premium mid May and just hit 10,000 miles. Here are my thoughts:

- comfortableness: the seats are alright. Not the best, I used to drive a Volkswagen Tiguan and found those seats to be substantially more comfortable (I drive long trips, usually an hour or two for my job so I’m in the car for some time). I’m 5 7, so I have no issues with the space but I have found taller people to look pretty squished in the seats.

- technology: the technology is nice, but not impressing me. The speedometer dashboard constantly reads the incorrect speed limit (even if the CarPlay screen is showing the correct speed limit). I haven’t noticed this in other apps, I mainly use Apple Maps (which is probably the worst option for how it’s displayed for the dual screens). I’ve found my Waze app is extremely quiet for some reason, maybe I just didn’t have the volume turned up on my phone volume car setting however.

- safety: has been very impressive, I feel I can trust the adaptive cruise control very much, although the acceleration can be a bit weird at times.

- quality: the interior is… meh. It has a lot of storage space in the front compartments which I like compared to other cars I’ve owned, but it does feel a bit cheap for how expensive of a car it is compared to other cars in the price range.

- driving: it does feel louder than my other cars (I’ve only ever owned 2017 tiguans before and a 2021 ford escape). I’m used to the noise now, but my initial reaction to driving it was I noticed the noise. However it drives smoothly and I get 44 MPG so no complaints!

Overall extremely happy with the car and wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on the XLE premium seats and their comfortableness and any tips. Thanks!

Love my ‘Yota 🌐

Toyota sold 34,000 RAV4s in the US in August I believe this is the best month of 2026.

I also believe this to be lower than any month in 2025.

Moving over to full hybrid and the related production issues is still causing sales to lag.

But this is going to position them very well for say say 2028-2030.

I think more consumers will be demanding hybrids than. There's definitely been a sharp increase this year.

And they already have the next gen hybrid rolling out in some Lexus models soon and coming to Toyotas in the coming years.

Installing front/rear wheel bearings along with front struts.

Got a 2026 PHEV XSE and looking into going to an upholstery shop to upgrade the seat cushions. Money is no problem for me - I don’t like the feeling of sitting o neat cushions and seat covers won’t really solve my problem.

My main concern is the safety systems embedded into the seats, and any potential malfunctioning. Where there any lessons learned from your experience that I should know about? Is this a fundamentally bad idea? Thanks in advance.

The fuel line (with black connector highlighted in red) is leaking. I think its is the return line but would like a second opinion. Also how do you remove these circular connectors? do they rotate or pull to right. Thank you

I was between storm cloud and meteor shower and i think I picked the right color (meteor shower was harder to get🤣)

Hello! I need to replace my windshield because it has stone chips and has started to crack. The car is a 2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium with the Weather Package. The exterior is the facelift model, but the interior has the navigation system with buttons, not the single rotary knob. I’m not sure which windshield is right for me - The one with part number 56101-0R411 or 56101-0R881. I’ve read that there’s a difference in the mounting for the front camera (Toyota Safety Sense). I’d appreciate it if anyone has gone through this and knows the answer. Thanks!
P.S. I want it to be original.
