The compressor went bad on my '14 REX (72k miles) at the end of last year. It was still functional, but made a high-pitched whirring noise - not quite a howl, but more intrusive than the REX - when the AC kicked in, and had thrown out an error code from the main battery. The local exotic car...

Yeah, I had been tracking the slow decline for years. (I'm an engineer. And one who designs with rechargeable batteries in critical applications, where only 200-300 cycles are likely, so of course I track more things in life than I should.:)) I reckoned that I would be ready for a replacement in...

Good catch - I hadn't read that interpretation into it. (Unfortunate for Neil, though :cry: )

Yes, that looks the same.

My indicated battery capacity was around 12.7kWh when I took it in. The procedure, as far as I could tell (I'm an electrical engineer who has designed battery management systems, so I think I rather befuddled the tech with over-complicated questions!) discharged the individual sections of the...

I'm an electrical engineer by training, and I used the KISS principle. I added a 14/50 socket to the dryer circuit in the garage and have a plug-in Duosida unit. Level 2, 16A max. The car is programmed to take 12A and reduced rate is 2-8A.M. so it's ready (and preconditioned on a cold morning!)...

As an introduction, I own a 2014 REX with Giga trim and the Technology package. I've had it for about 6 years, now. It had some 30k miles on it, and was happy to pay just over a third of the MSRP! It has now done a little over 70k. I chose the REX because we have charger deserts where I go on a...
