Hey everyone, looking for some insight into a frustrating issue with my 2026 RAV4 PHEV SE.
Whenever I try to lock the car from the remote (or use the "Lock & Close" trunk button), it triggers a sequence of multiple warning beeps before the doors finally lock

What I've already checked & ruled out:

• Second key fob: Confirmed the second key is kept far away inside the house, not hidden anywhere in the cabin or trunk.
• Vehicle power: Car is completely turned off (Power OFF) with the gear set to Park (P).
• Doors/Hatch status: All doors, hood, and tailgate are fully shut.
• Rear Seat Reminder: Disabled this setting entirely in the MID and multimedia unit.

Despite all this, the beeps persist.
Has anyone experienced this specific sensor loop? Is this a faulty door latch sensor/DCM telematics glitch, or is there a hidden setting I overlooked before I take it to the dealer?

Thanks!

Dumb question: if I get a car loan from RBC but not directly from the bank but from the car dealership, will I see this car loan under my regular account near chequing/saving accounts automatically?

Hey everyone!
I’m currently in the process of pulling the trigger on a 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid here in Canada. I was originally looking at the XSE, but honestly, I’m having a really hard time justifying the massive price jump (11k incl EVAP). The main feature I actually cared about was memory seats, but from what I understand, Toyota’s memory system only saves the driver’s seat position—it doesn’t adjust the side mirrors or the steering wheel position anyway.

Since the SE seems to offer 90% of what I actually need, I had a few questions for Canadian owners before I finalize everything with the dealer:

1. Does the Canadian SE trim come with physical direct TPMS sensors in the wheels, or is it an indirect system? Will the car alert me to a specific low tire, or just throw a general warning light?
2. Standard Included Accessories**:** For those who took delivery recently, what actually came with the car? Did it include the all-weather floor mats, and the trunk/cargo tray standard?
3. What should I pay close attention to during pickup at the dealership? Are there any common factory defects or delivery problems I should watch out?
4. What kind of pure EV range are you getting during Canadian winters (around -10°C to -15°C) with the heat/defroster running?
5. What tires come installed on the 18" SE wheels from the factory? Are they standard All-Seasons, or All-Weather (with the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating)? I usually run All-Weather tires year-round and want to see if I'll need to swap them immediately.

Thanks in advance guys!

Hey everyone,

Living in Moncton, New Brunswick, and trying to decide on winter tires for a RWD Model Y.
I love the idea of running a premium All-Weather tire like the Michelin CrossClimate 2 year-round to skip the biannual swap and storage hassle.
But since it's a heavy, high-torque RWD, I’m paranoid. For those who drive a RWD Tesla in actual eastern Canadian winters: is the performance gap between a top All-Weather and a dedicated winter tire (like X-Ice or Hakkas) just a minor 5% difference, or is a true winter tire radically safer when things get icy?

Would love to hear from anyone driving a RWD EV in NB/NS.

A few weeks ago when the Tesla financing rate was showing 5,09%, I applied through the Tesla app and got approved by RBC at an effective rate of 4.79%. I figured they knocked it down a bit because I have a solid credit history and I’ve been an RBC client for years.

Now that the advertised rate has dropped to 4.91%, I went back in and re-applied. RBC just came back approving me at the full 4.91% with no reduction this time. It feels inconsistent and doesn’t really make sense.

A couple questions:
• Has this happened to anyone else? Did RBC give you the discounted rate the first time but not on a re-application?
• Can I just cancel this and apply again through the Tesla app to try and get a better rate?
• Will applying multiple times hurt my credit or delay my delivery?
I’m really confused about what the best next step is. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
