I bought my 13s with 8k on it about 3 years ago and have now put near 32k on it just driving around town I just replaced the rear tires. They were near bald at 8k when I bought it. My fronts look like they could go 35k or more. I do put a set of Bliazzaks on it in Dec and take them off in April...

I have just bought a new 12 v. battery as insurance against the one I replaced about 1 1/2 year ago failing. So I want to keep it in the garage on a trickle charger to insure that it does not deteriorate. Any advice on doing this? Thanks in advance

This appears to be a very old thread but I faced this exact problem when I bought my i3S 3 years ago. I ordered a compact spare with a jack and a lug wrench and a cover from a place I believe called Compact Spare. They have the right offset for the i3. They also sell spares for Teslas and such...

I have a 2019 i3S now with 31k. The only issue I had was the death of the 12 volt battery after 3 years. So watch this carefully and replace it if you even think it might be old. It will brick the car with no warning. I am noticing a reduction in miles in the tank now in cold weather that is...

We have a 2019 i3S. I am still on the front tires at 28700 and look to get over 30k on them at least. The rears have worn more and I might just get 25k on them. We too have a dog, but she travels in a crate in the rear. I have had her loose in the trunk but the trunk door catch can be fussy and...

I had my new windshield for my i3S done yesterday by Safelite glass and they seem to have done a nice job. After my 200.00 deductible the total was 264.00. I guess I will need a giant rain storm to see if it leaks. But so far so good.

I just had a crack from a stone in the lower driver's corner of my 2019 i3S. Spread two inches a day. I called Safelite Auto Glass and they are coming next week, charging my auto insurance. After my deductible the price with windshield wiper blades is 549.00 I had them do a windshield on a...

I have a 2019 i3S with Rex and concur about the other posters' suspicions of extended warranty. I now have 25k on my car and the only thing that has needed attention is the 12 volt battery (which you must watch like a hawk and change at about 3 years). You would do better to divide the 4200.00...

My 2019 I3S ( 22k) in warm weather comes off the charger with typically 175-180 (sometimes 186) miles and then this drops to about 150 on the freeway at 65. I don't use either the heater or the air most of the time. But in cold weather say below 55 I am typically about 145 off the charger and it...

I have had my 13S two years and some 12k miles come this Feb. So far no issues save an early failure of the 12 volt battery before it was even "old" so consider replacing the battery if it is more than 36 months old as it will completely incapacitate the car and require a flat bed if it fails. I...

Your milage is much better than that of my 2019 i3S. Typically on a warm day--say 80 degrees outside--the car comes off the charger at 186miles. I never feel I can use the air on a long highway trip as I get an average drop of 10-15 miles per fill up with air. I use the 75 mph limiter always on...

They would but I am nervous about taking those plugs out of the bumpers and losing or damaging them. I am thinking of one of the A arms even though it moves when the car suspension moves. There just doe snot seem to be any fixed point at front or rear under the car to loop a tie down.

This thread may be dead but I am interested in hearing from anyone who has carried loads with Sea Sucker racks on an I3 with plain no sun roof top. I am particularly interested in where one would tie down a canoe. I was thinking of the suspension as there is no hook or other place to tie off on...

I have the Seasucker bars and have a non- sun roof Sparky but have not yet tried my 42 lb canoe on the rack. But maybe this summer and will post results. There are no easy points on bow and stern of Sparky to tie off the ropes to keep things centered on car. Looks like one has to use suspension...

Thanks much. I know there are at least three other i3s around. Dealer says 20 but this may be overstated.
