wow, i don't think you actually saw it with a response like that...all of those issues were touched on in the movie

and come on 30 miles? LOL....watch the movie, then come back, and if you watched it already, watch it again and actually pay attention

on a side note...there is a lady here in town that still has one of the original RAV4's, the electric ones, she LOVES it, and every time she is in a parade or somewhere public, she gets standing ovations from EVERYONE around

you can still buy the toyota rav4 EV
