How did you manage that? I'd say that is almost impossible no matter how you drive. 70 miles is pretty typical with normal driving.

WoodlandHills said:What a bogus post: everyone knows from reading this forum that the i3 is a perfect vehicle and it's only problem is that stupid buyers were too lazy to properly research it. Oh, and they are unskilled drivers who just may be paid company shills too. Just like this guy, probably.......
DSMLVNV said:OK Everyone:
Time for a reality check for some of you...I am, in fact, not a screamer, but rather a very upset consumer who was in a terrible mood when finishing up the 42 mile range I received. I lashed out in my title, yes; But let's get real and talk about performance now.
I live in Las Vegas - Not exactly a prime spot for such a vehicle. Is it hot here now? Yes, but during this latest 42 mile range, it hasn't been that bad - Average 100 degrees during the day.
I work from home. This latest range was achieved with no highway driving. Just quick 1-4 mile drives to and from shopping, restaurants, and so on.
I have a Clipper Creek charger, and I've owned the car for approximately 11 months.
I've never done better than a 70 mile charge. This Summer it's been well under 60 most of the time.
Now, any helpful feedback you have would be appreciated...
Lastly, anyone who's going to try to convince me that this is the "Perfect car" need not reply. BMW scammed us promoting 100 miles originally. 60 or so is a joke...Be honest..

I never pre-condition
Yes it was definitely charged to 100%
I'm always around 3.9
I doubt it to your Question # 3

I didn't see that you were new here, my sarcastic post was just summarizing the views of those here who have drunk the cool-aide and been blinded by the light. Stay here a while and you will see what I mean.......

WoodlandHills said:It does not matter where you park or if you precondition: 42 miles of range on a full charge in the summer is unacceptable. Hell, it is unacceptable in the dead of winter IMHO! You should not have to jump through hoops or drive in a hot stuffy car to get a minimum of 60 miles out of a self-proclaimed 80 mile EV.
