I've been debating an i3 vs another Volt as my lease draws to a close. My first test drive was back in July when my local dealer first got some inventory, but my extended drive is two weeks out. I watch inventory on cars.com and if has been shrinking over the past month. I think this sales...

Interesting article. It seems like the Tesla Giga Factory is what this targets with its skepticism. But cars to date are building at two times the limit they site. The scale of the Tesla project is about two magnitudes larger. I wonder how well the limit will really hold. The 8% better through...

Does anyone know what changes were made to the amp over the iterations?

I think the leading edge being blue would look nice. I'm not sure how the "swirl" from blue to black would work around the lug bolts, though. Is that where they got into too much labor?

I got a chance to listen at length to both the base and h/k systems. I was surprised at what I found. This harman/kardon sounded nothing like the units I had in my '03 MINI or '06 SAAB. The i3's h/k is immensely clear and precise. Distortion was minimal, but it felt somewhat thin in base...

Surge, That is a great link. Thanks! If I read the specs right, the camera uses one of several K-CAN bus architectures, so digital feeds at 500Kbps. This is not the analog composite of most backup cameras - and may explain why people are so please with picture quality. If this is correct, then...

Yes, a video port on the back is the key, but not easily uncovered unless you have a car and happen to take the dashboard apart. Are there any service manuals available yet? Perhaps such a document could reveal what we need to know a little less invasively.

Thanks. Twisting my back to look without a camera is what I'm trying to avoid. Actually, it's why I'm considering the i3 over a Volt. The higher doors and more upright position take pressure off a bad back... The Volt is great, but hard to climb in and out of due to being so low. Sounds like I...

Crutchfield has no data yet - the car is too new to market. Thanks, though.

I parallel park a few times a year. The $1,000 parking package is like paying $50 for someone to parallel park the car for me. I'm just not going to even have occasion to use it enough to warrant that price. However, I do like the backup camera I have with my Volt today and use that daily. So...

My first post here. I'm a Volt owner looking for what's next after my lease runs out. I test drove an i3 this past weekend. What a delight to drive! The two samples available at my local dealer have the base radio. It is 'eh' in sound quality. I'm sure the h/k system is awesome (had h/k in a...
