Hi all, I have a 2014 REX Laurel Grey with the 20"s - mega with tech, driver assist. Life circumstances have changed and the i3 just won't work for us anymore. I'm super bummed and thought I may be able to find a good candidate here who knows someone or perhaps themselves would want to take over...

My understanding is that it should work fine with an Android phone. If you have an iPhone long press the voice command button and tell Siri to "read my last text message". Siri works great through the bluetooth in the car.

Got my decals last week and mailed in application only 4 weeks ago. Perhaps I just timed it right. "As of February 26th, 2015, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued the 60,537 Green Clean Air Vehicle decals. Assembly Bill 2013, effective January 1, 2015, authorized DMV to issue...

Thanks to both of you for the response. Weatherford confirmed they participate and the person who runs the dept there will call me back Monday. Her name is Sherry Lee, phone number is 510-542-5206

In CA it is considered a TZEV (transitional zero emission vehicle) This is essentially the same class as a hybrid according to the DMV. It still qualifies for the green HOV stickers if there are any left.

My dealer offered a tutorial with the i3 genius a week after purchase. They went through EVERYTHING including the bat wing mirrors and other tricks. I'd recommend everyone ask for that from their dealer. Mine was at East Bay BMW in Pleasanton, CA

It looks like I should be receiving my green HOV sticker within the next month or so (there were still 10k left as of 2/26/15). My question is - If this is the last time they release an extension to the number of green stickers, will the value of the car be a little higher after my lease is up...
