Toyota Introduces Electric RAV4, Powered By Tesla Motor

Posted by timothy on from the nikola-himself dept.

thecarchik writes "As they say, everything old is new again. Fourteen years after it launched its very first RAV4 crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Toyota returned to LA to launch an all-electric version of its latest RAV4. And this one is, as the logos in a teaser photo released earlier said, 'powered by Tesla.' The launch of the second version of the RAV4 EV is on a fast timeline, led by a working group made up of Toyota's Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a team from Tesla Motors. The partnership will build 35 'Phase Zero' test versions of the latest RAV4 EV next year, with production launch expected in 2012."

    No, because they would be uninteresting, inferior and built out of other peoples inventions.

    When I think, been around here for a while, I don't think of 1520545. I'd say you've been around for awhile, since over half a million separate us, but I don't know about those in the million, million and a half range.

    Now if you'll excuse me, there's someone on a lawn that needs yelling at!

    Remember that correlation does not equal causation. Mentioning Tesla in your post may or may not be the reason you were modded up.
