    Drive train malfunction

    I have a 2019 Rex with about 45k miles. I got a drive train malfunction which would prevent the car from moving. I would turn on the car and 'let the battery warm up'. Then I could drive the car. But then it would have a similar issue the next morning. Finally bring the car to the dealership...

    Overnight charge failure

    I say skip the charge on the cheap time thing. It can't be that much cheaper. I want my car charged 100% every time I get in to go. I just coded my Rex to enable me to set hold state of charge. This has been worth every bit of money to buy the gizmo and the app for my iPhone. Also - it is...

    Grinding sound during regenerative breaking

    During the winter here in Houston - the car is problematic. I got drive train malfunctions, and even had the car stop on me. I tried to pre-condition the car before driving and that did not put a stop to the issues. But after the car 'warms' up it seems to work fine. I hope to keep the car for...

    Grinding sound during regenerative breaking

    BMW dealership said they are going to need the car for a very long time to go back and forth with BMW. The car has made this noise for as long as I can remember. I had to bring the car in for service because I ran over a curb and broke 3 rims. While the dealer was fixing the rims they took it on...

    Install EV Charger at home or not

    I purchased the clipper creek charger. I did not know my breaker box was full - so I had to upgrade the breaker box to install the new clipper creek charger. $$$ ouch. However charging is much faster now. I feel that is worth the money. I live in Houston and we have hurricanes. The fast charge...

    when driving rex range changes and charge changes

    While driving 10 / 15 miles - both the charge distance changes and the rex range changes. Why? Why should rex range change when the rex was not used?

    remote app and connecteddrive

    I like the app but for different reasons. 1) It has a 'dude where is my car' feature. 2) I like that it tells me the charging status. 3) I like that I can send an address to my car rather than trying to twist in an address 4) The carbon / co2 nonsense is useless.

    2014 i3 upgrade

    Yes - the i3 has hand controls. I am not sure of all the stuff that has to be upgraded, but it does include the antenna, computer, and one of the screens in the car. I understand the upgrade affects charging, navigation, and the remote. I live in Houston, Texas USA.

    2014 i3 upgrade

    I just purchased a 2014 i3. It's brand new and has 10 miles on the car. The dealer decided it would be cool to install the software update. Except the software is not compatible with the hardware. So it's going to take at least 2 days to get this installed. The dealership had 1 other i3 ahead of...
