While driving 35 on a local road, the vehicle lost all power to the propulsion system. Power steering and brakes worked as I was lucky to be able to coast safely to a turnout. The vehicle warning light saying "check ev system, have dealer check immediately" was illuminated on the information display. This is a common problem for the Rav4 ev as the Toyota and Tesla parts have trouble maintaining communication with each other within a part called the gateway ECM. My car was serviced by the dealer after this incident, where they updated the firmware loaded on the gateway ECM.
