First, Thank you. Second, fun fact: the sign is not flashing to the naked eye, it's just an artifact of the video thankfully. The technical explanation is that a lot of high-use LEDs are set up to flash very rapidly, too quick for the human eye to discern. LED billboards and even LED tail...

Thanks, To be honest, I don't know if I'll get another i3 (go back to having one car). If anything I'll trade in the Mustang for a Tesla Model 3 (a long shot), or get something easier on the commute and fun, like a Mini Cooper S.

Thank you. The ACC was operating, yes. Goes to show that a camera-based ACC is inferior to a radar-based ACC when it comes to sudden vehicle stops ahead of you. I won't keep the car. The structural cell is damaged. There's no benefit to repair and I don't have the room to store it for...

In Thursday I was involved in an accident. The vehicle in front came to a panic stop ahead of me and in just three seconds it was over. It took a second for the ACC to determine it could not safely stop on its own. It took a split second when the alarm went off to slam on the brakes, and in the...

I'm curious on this as well. Does the 2018 actually have a touchscreen? It would seem rather inconvenient if it were. I assumed it used CarPlay via the controller.

Nice guide. Unfortunately I can't install my own 50A circuit mainly because the panel only has 100A of service total, and I'm renting in a condo community (while I'm sure I could have convinced them to let me install a 50A circuit and outlet in the garage, upgrading the whole service panel is...

Especially since there's nothing in the DOT regs prohibiting it... many Volvo and Mercedes cars equip them in the US-market cars.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. Also thanks for reminding me to check the breaker panel, I kept forgetting to do that. It is indeed a 30 amp breaker. The dryer plug is also still the older 3-wire plug; but with the adapter from eMotorWerks that shouldn't be a problem though.

Question, since I'm digging this up from the dead.. Did you ever find the code for bulb 7?

Thanks! I have a gas dryer in the garage, so I have a free 30-amp outlet available as well. I bought a JuiceBox Pro (Friend's recommendation) along with the dryer plug adapter and an extension cord to put the charger in a more convenient location. I think I'm going to love this thing for the...

Hi all, It's funny whatliae throws your way. I was recently laid off, but being in Network Security, a new job was quickly on the horizon. My previous company offered a ridiculously generous severance, so I figured I'd shop for a pre-owned EV for the daily commute in Orange County, CA. My...
