    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    The 2017 is a keeper. Even with the cold weather, it is getting around 115 Miles on battery, compared to 50 with the 2015. This car has already ruined gas cars for me. My wife's 2020 Honda Odyssey feels crude in comparison. Jacob

    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    So, found a 2017 REx model with 60k miles for a little less than the 2015 with 55k miles. Hopefully the bigger battery will have more of its capacity, and enough range that even as it degrades it will still serve my needs. It could be a week or two before it gets delivered - I will update when...

    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    Given the Carvana purchase price was almost what I paid for it in 2018, I took it. No hastle or fuss. Now I just need to find the right deal on an i3!

    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    I agree their prices are a little high, but they offered me a very high value on my Miata (they offered almost the same price for it that I paid them for the same car two years ago), which is why I went with them. Physical dealerships were offering over $4K less in trade value. I might just...

    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    That is exactly what I planned on doing. The car came with the option to turn on the REx manual already enabled. However, this morning I decided to return this car and keep looking. Even if the REx seems to be working fine now, that experience of it failing on me spooked me. I often land...

    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    I have tried preconditioning, with no real effect. I work from home, so don't have a regular commute. For running around town, the 50 mile range would be just fine. However, I have a 70 miles drive to my airport that I make on average once or twice per month. I may, ot may not be able to...

    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    Thanks for the in depth reply. For the REx issue, I forget to mention it has worked fine ever since I got it home a charged to full for the first time. I suspect the 12v battery was too low. It does make me a little worried, as I will rely on it to get to and from my airport that is 70 miles...

    To buy or not to buy 2015 i3 REx - battery concerns

    So, I am half way through a 7 day trial period on the car. I love the way it drives and the interior quality and layout. The range extender seems to work great, and gives me the freedom to drive over the all electric range. The issue I have is how short that electric range is compared to new. I...
