    Is there a recommended place to purchase these filters outside a dealer? Might be up for doing this job myself. Doug - out

    12v/cigarette lighter port not turning off

    I've been wondering the same thing. I have my phone charger plugged in to the port just underneath center dash between the driver and passenger seat. I've noticed that the light on the charger seems to always be on. I have 2017 REX. Doug - out

    BEV and a 500 Mi Trip. Should I do it?

    Good question. I don't think I would do it. I have a 2017 REX, and think that would make the trip a bit easier on the car / battery. It's my understanding that fast charging (especially as much as you would need to do) is a bit hard on the batteries. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck. Doug - out

    best sunshade?

    As per usual great info here folks. My wife bought me a generic sunshade she thought would work. She did her best in the purchase, but didn't have this great board to look at. We both agreed that it (the shade) didn't fit very well, so I'm looking forward to trying some of these option. Doug...

    $89k Munro i3 Tear-Down Cost Analysis on Sale: $10

    Saw this video a while back before I bought an i3. To be honest, it was one of the things that convinced me to take a real hard look at the car. Not that Murano says everything is great and glowing. But there was still enough to sell me on the car. Doug - out

    Possible probleem?

    The smell was odd and not familiar to me if I'm being honest. That's why I figured it was related to the car. I'll probably take the car in soon to have them check it over. Still under warranty. Thanks for the reply here.

    Possible probleem?

    Well, we had a loose neutral in a outlet in the house (same circuit as the one in the garage) The smell coming from the garage is still a mystery. Had to drive about 75 miles yesterday and it drove and performed like new. No issues. I'm chalking this up to dodging a bullet. I appreciate all the...

    Possible probleem?

    So I'm a new (used 2017) I3 owner. I've had the car for about 2 1/2 months. LOVE THE CAR!! It seems since having the car, on occasion, when charging, we trip a breaker. Occasionaly, meaning a few times in the last 2 1/2 months. (I know that's probably too much) For the record I have an...

    Battery PreConditioning - Battery Life

    New 2017 i3 owner here, I have had the car for 2 months. This is a good question indeed. I assume you live in a cold weather area. I'm in Illinois and have been wondering if one needs to do conditioning year around? I of course, do it on cold days here because it's nice to have the car warm...

    Maintaining 12 V Battery Charge while Physical Distancing

    Update: Took my i3 to my mechanic yesterday to check / replace the battery. He called me back and said he had checked the battery and it was fine. No reason at the moment to change it out. He recommended I do the change in 6 - 9 months. Love the guy, he is very honest. So I will wait till...

    Maintaining 12 V Battery Charge while Physical Distancing

    Once again.........Thanks for the great info here. Gonna find out if the dealer will cover the battery under CPO. Who knows, I could get lucky. My mechanic said he could do it for around $300.00 He also let me know he has a few other i3 clients and they have had great luck with the car. Doug...

    Maintaining 12 V Battery Charge while Physical Distancing

    I posted this on another "12 v battery thread" on this forum: So I just called my dealer here in the Chicagoland area and they want :shock: $600.00 to install a battery. Apparently the battery is covered under factory warranty but you need to wait until there is a problem?! Not sure I want to...

    12 Volt Auxiliary Battery East Penn Deka AUX18L

    So I just called my dealer here in the Chicagoland area and they want $600.00 to install a battery. I have a trusted mechanic I have used for 15 years. I think I'll try him as well. Do you think this would void what little warranty I have left. I have a 2017 i3 with 22,000 miles on it. I have a...

    Paint issues black parts

    Could it be since the hood (bonnet) is plastic, the paint is different? Perhaps a softer version of "regular" paint. I have no idea really, just a thought. Doug - out
