Not sure how, but 3 of my 4 rear car seat black plug covers broke some how together, and drop off in the car now They came off, as plactic is cracked I never used any car seats, so it happened either by folding the rear seats or by parking it for a 2 month in the hot sun or both Either way...

So , When i drive the i3 on the small country uneven and imperfect roads, i can literately feel each of the individual tires going up and down. Literally it feels like i am driving a 4*4 over the rocks on a riverbed. I was wondering, how will the car actually perform in such situations, given...

Noticed, the Rex numbers for EPA fuel economy keep going down from 2016 -39 2017 - 35 2019- 31 I am very curious why i3 Rex is the only NEW fuel efficient car in USA with missing separate numbers for Highway and City Perhaps we can pull them numbers from some other country or WLTP ...

I read in Manual , not to fill gas into rex , while charging. But i cant think of a reason , why doing both together is an issue , but doing so, individually is safe. When i top up my rex with my personal gas can, it does take some time, as safety gas cans are slow . I was wondering if any...

Curious - On a stormy day , which car to take out ? i3 or metal car ? We know , metal cars are safe , as charge remains outside. What about plastic ? Oh , just realized, my model 3 roof is made of glass with just a metal rod in between. Not sure, how will that behave ....
