    Losing charge while plugged in

    I just dropped it off for service and I doubt they will find anything wrong with it. The whole point here is that it did not exhibit this behavior for several months. This makes me assume something is defective.

    Losing charge while plugged in

    This isn't just a discrepancy between the iremote app and the actual soc. I witnessed the car drop three percent charge this morning and the charger kicked back on. The iremote indicated 100 percent then wirhin two minutes dropped to 97 percent and began charging the car. This isn't a cold...

    Losing charge while plugged in

    I alwaya lock the car when it is charging and the key fob stays in the same place, which is not close to the car. This issue didn't happen until recently and is a daily occurrence at around the same time each morning. It has actually been much warmer rather than colder in he mornings the last...

    Losing charge while plugged in

    I'm losing charge with no preconditioning set at all. It happened again. It's 7:10 am. I had a full charge at 8 pm last night. Why is this thing draining itself and then recharging?

    Losing charge while plugged in

    I forgot to mention this is with no preconditioning. It just drains to 97% and ends up recharging around 7 am each morning which isn't enough time to reach a full charge before I leave for work.

    Losing charge while plugged in

    My i3 has been losing about 3% soc each night after being charged completely even though I'm still plugged in. It did not do this before and has been happening regularly now. I'm using l1 charging. When I wake up in the morning it's charging itself even though it was already at 100% 8-10 hours...

    Scratchy Sound From Steering Column

    I have noticed an intermittent scratching type sound when making slow speed left hand turns coming from the steering column. It seems to be more pronounced in cold weather. Has anyone else experience something like this? I wanted to isolate what it might be before I waste my time at the...

    Taking Control of your Range Extender - Mike Mas

    Everything works for me now and I really like being able to turn the Rex on at will now. I spoke to them about the potential of selling the hack for the 2.5 gallon gas tank unlock and they are working on that as well. It will be offered as part of the Rex SOC unlock and as an upgrade to existing...

    REX Gastank

    I hate California. Born and raised in that stink hole and finally left 12 years ago. I installed the Rex hack and really hope someone figures out how to add a larger tank in the future.

    Taking Control of your Range Extender - Mike Mas

    I purchased it and does absolutely nothing at first. I had to wait 10 minutes with the door locked and it automatically loaded after that. Seems to be working great now. As an update I also purchased the unlock for the multimedia functions and it does not work as advertised. The movies will...

    getting new wheels, looking for opinions

    Granted those are a really nice wheel, the price is preposterous for a 19" wheel. They must sell very few wheels at that price.

    40% LOSS OF BATTERY RANGE

    Yes, I have the Rex. It hasn't warmed up much and the indicated range has gone back into the 90 mile range. I have been calculating the electric range using the trip odometer afree the first bar is depleted. I've come to accept that the mileage estimate indicated by the computer is way off at...

    The pain of drilling holes in the bumper for the front plate

    I would just pay the fixit tickets fine instead. I never ran front plates in California because I refuse to deface my bumper with unsightly holes. Unless it's changed it was a $10 fine. I only got one ticket in 28 years.

    Regenerative Braking

    It takes so getting used to. The first step is to understand how it works as mentioned above. It won't be jerky once you learn the proper driving technique.

    Reset Trip Odometer on Main Display

    I haven't been able to figure out how to reset the trip odometer. I can reset the setting from the Navigation display but it doesn't reset the one on the display above the steering wheel.

    Are there any other wheels that are available that are reasonably priced?

    Flexible antenna

    I assume that is for the satellite radio, but don't quote me. If you remove it, wouldn't there be a hole in the roof?
