    Want to buy an i3 as an around-town EV

    It makes sense. My AWD Model Y gets close to 5 miles per kWh in city at 70-80F driving (crazy efficiency) and 4 miles per kWh below 40F in city driving. I would think that the i3 should get at least that. My AWD ID.4, on the other hand, gets 3.3 miles per kWh best case scenario and around 3...

    How do I know if the i3 I’m considering has a heat pump?

    Want to buy an i3 as an around-town EV

    I know about the tires. I've recently replaced the OEM tires on the AWD ID.4 Pro S (20" ones), and I spent about $2,000 for four tires, including alignment, tax, and disposal fees.

    Want to buy an i3 as an around-town EV

    The dog is not an issue. She rides in the back seat when the front seat is occupied. Otherwise, she rides in the front seat. And when she is left in the car alone, she pretends she is a driver.

    Want to buy an i3 as an around-town EV

    We are an EV family. One of my EVs is being lemon lawed, so I'm getting most of the money I paid for it back. The other EV (Model Y) is not big enough for our out-of-town needs. I want to get a Rivian R1S for our out-of-town trips and as a secondary around-town vehicle, and I want to get an i3...
