I drive a 2017 Rex here in Ireland and absolutely love the freedom from the Public charging network, passing queues at chargers, broken chargers and not having to worry about greatly increased charge times on DC chargers when the battery is cold and not having to put much thought into finding...

I drive the 2017 94 Ah Rex here in Ireland and this time of the year when it's cold, Windy and wet I can drive 100 miles if I slow down in the worst of weather, if I drive 60 mph sometimes a bit more, a bit less for part of the trip so 70 miles is no problem especially in warmer fine weather at...

No it's definitely not the usual brake sound, it's coming from the rear left when at the rear of the car. I've noticed it comes on at low speed and off if I stop and comes back when I reach a certain speed again, it was not there in the beginning only up until recently.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of the fan noise when pulling away ? my 2017 94 Ah Rex has been doing that recently.

Motor failing or bearings and motor replacement being the easiest solution ?

I have not heard of any motors failing in the i3. Sounds more like, they couldn't be bothered taking it apart to find the actual problem and could be assuming/wishing the new motor , at your great expense will fix the problem with minimal effort on their part but hey, I could be wrong. I'd...

My i3 was registered in March 2017 , it's 2 years old now , I have it 1 year 4 months. It's a Rex, have used it quite a bit, absolutely 0 issues and the battery capacity is still 100% , 30,000 miles. Never suffered loss of power even on a long spin at 75 Mph. I have not got bored of it and...

The only time I noticed Clipping/distortion in the i3 HK sound system was with Spotify, I had some equaliser option set and it was emphasising the baas far too much and turning it off fixed it. You could check if there are some equaliser or Audio volume boost settings enabled and disable them.

Yes Apple music works perfectly for me. I've not had any issues where sound wasn't coming through , once I open the Spotify app manually or tune in they work fine except of course I can only go to next and previous track can not access any menus. It's just sad because it's great when it works...

When I picked the car up after it got it's first service yesterday I plugged the Iphone in and it worked, I could now access the menus instead of having basic next track function. Today I tried and it wouldn't work again, I have to say it's really bugging me, it hasn't worked for several...

Can U.S i3's now use the Rex above 6.5% ?

Thanks for all the replies. I'm hoping the Dealer will get an S soon for me to take out for a 24 Hr test drive.

I'm currently driving the 120 Ah i3 BEV while my 94 Ah rex is in for service and I noticed the steering feels more "normal" less understeer, the steering in the 94 Ah is much sharper and I actually prefer it. How did you find the acceleration in the S ? The 120 Ah I'm driving has led lights...

Sad listening to the poor car grind to a halt but you're ok and that's all that matters and no one else was hurt. It does look like there was plenty of time to stop though what happened, were you waiting for the car to react and brake you ? I think I would have rear ended the car in front...

And can anyone compare ? what's the S like to drive by comparison, is it much faster, is it noticeable ? Is the handling and steering better etc ? What were your overall impressions ?
