    Grinding sound during regenerative breaking

    My 2016 Rex does this from time to time. I have only 31K miles on it.

    I3 windshield washer dead / troubleshooting

    I'm having a similar issue. My front wiper washer works okay but the rear doesn't spray any water. I can't tell where the nozzle is, and have searched manuals etc. (Concerned someone may have tampered with vehicle or alternatively can't see where to clean out nozzle if it's clogged). I'm...

    Car stops charging as soon as the door is locked.

    So I'm clear, I think what is happening with my vehicle is not that it is waiting to start charging altogether, but instead may be reducing the voltage it's drawing or cutting on and off intermittently to time the charge to the departure time. Why? I don't know. Maybe to maximize its...

    Car stops charging as soon as the door is locked.

    So, if I have the car set to immediate charging (no low cost setting) but I have a departure time set and active, will it nonetheless space out charging so as to bring it up to full charge just before the departure time? Do I need to set a sooner departure time to make sure that it charges more...

    Car stops charging as soon as the door is locked.

    Well, it is odd, but I double checked my settings when I set up the second departure time. Everything's set for immediate and max charging. It was only after I added a second departure time that it changed the estimated charge completion from 8:45 am to 1:00 am. I just got the car in July...

    Car stops charging as soon as the door is locked.

    OK interesting update. I went back to the garage after my workout just now. Car is still charging (no blue light but the indicator on the charger still shows charging). I decided to open the car and check the start time. It says "8:45 am" which not coincidentally is the departure time I have...

    Car stops charging as soon as the door is locked.

    Well, if the joker unplugged me, he or she plugged me back in again, so it should start charging again at that point, right? I'm heading downstairs in about 20 minutes so I'll see how things look at that point. What I don't get is that I had no problems for a good 2 weeks using the same outlet...

    Car stops charging as soon as the door is locked.

    I have the car set for immediate maximum charging at both voltage options (fixed that after my first weekend watching it take over 36 hours to try to charge). I do not have it set for low cost charging. The car has always seemed to start and stop charging over time. Though I can't check with...

    Car stops charging as soon as the door is locked.

    I'm noticing a similar issue with my i3 REX I purchased at the end of July. I plug the MFR-supplied charging cord into a 120v outlet at my building. Charger and vehicle both show it's charging (on the charger and with the flashing blue light on the side of the car). Car locks, still charging...
