    Help with understanding Range Loss over time

    Hey 3pete, Great questions! At the moment, the Connected Drive doesn't allow us to view battery capacity directly and currently other brands don't allow this remotely either. Though OBDII connections for certain brands, like Leafs with Leafspy seem to be able to give this info. When someone...

    Thanks for signing up Art! I'm excited to hear what you think about your first report and I hope we can help with figuring out the difference between the two modes of range loss that you mention. What we suspect is that if anything, the i3 is likely opening up your usable capacity window as the...
