Why does the forum no longer allow posting from Tap Talk? I used to be able to subscribe and post from my phone and now I cant. What happen moderators?

You don't need to take it to the dealer when you get the error. Basically, if you don't use the Rex the car is designed to run a maintenance cycle on the Rex engine so that it does not rot. This only happens on extended non-use of the Rex. I just got notified last Friday with the same error...

In So Cal power is really expensive. Peak rates are at $0.38 per KWH. I drive about 80 miles a day round trip. So peak charging adds up fully charging the car every day. Most people plans are tiered where your rate is based on how much power you use. Certain number of KW are on Tiers 1 and if...

One of the ways to save money by driving an EV is to Low Cost charge at night during Super Off peak hours. Here in California, EV owners get special rates from 10 pm to 8 am on the EV plan. They call the time super off peak and only charge $0.08 a kW. It a big difference in cost, because Super...

So here is another update. I had my electrician check the charger and we confirmed that with my tesla can draw the full 30 amps with no problem. He was able to confirm the amperage on the line and I could see the draw on the Tesla dash. So my home charger is good. He checked all the cabling...

It's a possibility and most likely the station. But it can be the onboard chargers. I've gone thru two i3s .My first one was declared a lemon because the DC fast Charging did not work.

I saw something similar on my I3 Rex the first couple of times I tried to charge. It sounds like the charge station is not properly communicating with your car. Here is what I did based on feedback from the nRG support team. 1. Disconnect your car 2. Press the emergency reset button on the...

So we finally got the I3 back this week and we are not Happy. After almost 2 weeks at the dealer here is status: - Airbag / restraint error - Fixed - I3 App does not communicate with the car - Not Supported - Fast Charging causes certain features to be reset: - Not tested BMW says there is no...

On my first I3 we had problems with getting Tint installed correctly due to the limited access to the rear side windows. We ended up removing the panels to find that the support on the POD were HUGE. There is a lot of reinforcement built into the support to account for the issues with Carbon...

We were able to see all of the service records for the car, they were in the car as part of the CPO paperwork. The original owner complained about charging that was due to a damaged cable. Also the first owner never brought it into the dealer for any of the fixes or recalls. Recalls and software...

Waiting 5 min for an App update is too long for me in a car as sophisticated as the I3. On my first i3, Updates were always instant with commands taking about 20-30 seconds to get confirmation on the car. But they worked. On this car none of the app features work and data takes hours to update.

Just got a call form the dealer and it looks like the Airbag error is kind of a huge issue. The whole wire harness and motor for the seat belts has to be replaced n order to repair the car. They are thinking its going to take 3 days just to replace the parts and the hardness here because they...

I'm on my 2nd i3. My first one had a ton of Charging issues and was declared a lemon after 6 weeks at the dealer. I should have learned my lessons then but my wife loved the car so much we decided to get another one. This time we went for a Pre-owned model because it helped us save a ton of...

I"m having the same problem, but logging off and on again does not resolve it. I called BMW NA to have a case opened and after 5 weeks of troubleshooting they tell me there is nothing wrong. I've been on the phone with them as the app would not update and would continually fail at setting...
