No disrespect but my wife and I live in PA and we got hit with some pretty nasty snow this year. Our I3 Rex was awesome! No issues at all in the snow. We did equip her with snow tires and maybe the REXs make the difference with the extra 300 lbs in the back? I have no idea why you had such a...

MSRP Loaded Rex $55,000 MSRP. $1,200 out of pocket included 1st moth 2 Year 12k Per year. $400 per month including Taxes. For Apple to Apple comparison you should figure every $1000 put down towards principle should lower the payment by about $30. Furthermore, understand that some states rebates...

We scrapped the sidewall against a sharpe sidewalk edge tearing a two inch gash in the sidewall. I thought it was a long shot but I was desperate. Took an entire can of the stuff spraying out of the gash before it sealed. Rode over 30 miles home with it. About a block from home we started...

If you negotiated a good lease you might be able to unload it here to someone else. http://www.swapalease.com Good Luck, John

I brought them a printout of the Tire Rack setup and they got me the Rial X10 in black. They could have gotten me either. What I think they did is buy from Tire Rack at a professional courtesy discount because they are a dealer and mount them because the wheel, tire and sensor came pre-mounted...

We bought the 20" i3 with Rex. I priced the Tire Rack Black winter wheel setup with TPS. Went to one of my local FireStone stores. Not only did they match the $1,650 Tire Rack 19" wheel setup but because I went through them they mounted the wheels for free. Included in the deal is lifetime free...

Just Drive, I have i3 with Rex we recently did a nice long trip. After about 72 miles in Eco Pro with HVAC on at 72 degrees (50s outside) the gas engine turned on. I was causing at 65 on the way down. I think if you engage the Cruise control and let the car pace traffic it actually runs very...

NON stop problems? You believe this because a couple dozen people in the forums post issues? Other then getting the Check Engine light for a week until the car could do its routine maintenance nothing like that here. I guess I am one of the few lucky ones that missed out on all the "NON-STOP"...

My wife works for a huge regional employer. They did not have accommodations for charging. All the same, she contacted the facilities manager and he granted her use of a power socket near one of the buildings on the grounds. Her company decided to expand and is now building another building and...

So, heating the battery on a BMW Rex (No Heat Pump) will only consume 1KW per hour? If this information is accurate then at most I would consume 2.5 KWh over a 150 minute conditioning period. With that said assuming 30 days in a month that = 75 KWh. I am already saving between 30-50 KWh per...

So I decided to start pre-conditioning my wife Rex this morning for the first time. We have solor panels on our roof so we don't pay a dime for electricity. This is our second electric car (First Ford Focus EV) so we know the panels will produce enough energy to supply both the house and car...

DONT DO IT! First time it parked on right side of road EASY PEEZY SUPER COOL Second time on left rubbed up against the sidewalk and tore a 2 inch gash in the sidewall. Now my wife will have to rent a car for 2 days while we wait for the tire. Two good things came from this. 1. 20 Inch summer...

So other then connecting the tire sensors is there any other adjustment that needs to be done switching to the 19" rims with Winter tires from the 20" Summer? Is the diameter (Winter Tires more rubber) still the same between the two?

I plan to purchase the 19" wheels from TireRack with winter tires. My local Goodyear tire dealer wants $100 to mount all 4. BMW wants over $200 just to mount. Has anyone used a 3rd party tire dealer to mount their winter tires? My concern is the fact our cars are made of carbon fiber and I'm...

I wish I had done my homework before I bough the 20" i3. I expected there would be 20" winter tires available for them. Anyway, I decided to go with the 19" Rial rim set with Bridgestone tires from Tire Rack. I assume by law I have no choice but to order the tire pressure monitor setup...
