Yes I have just done the 10.000km or 6200 miles. I am totally satisfied with the car and had no problems in this time. I've got the car in May 2014.

Some data:

[x] Electricity costs: 58 Euro (65 USD; 43 GBP)
[x] Consumption BC: 10.1 kWh/100km (5.92 mi/kWh - i that the correct unit? If you need another one tell me please!)
[x] Regen (App): 1.9 kWh/100km (32.7 mi/kWh)
[x] Consumption messarued at the power outlet: 12.6 kWh/100km (4.93 mi/kWh)
[x] Charging loss: 19% I have no fast charging option and almost always use 230V 15A
[x] Average speed: 40 km/h or 24.9 mph
[x] driving profile: 0% Autobahn (highway, freeway), 80% hilly country roads, 20% city

To buy the i3 was one of my best decissions ever ;)
 
If you're getting 5.92 mi / kWhr then you have a range equivalent to 130 miles. If you're really achieving this (when most are between 3 and 4 mi / kWhr) perhaps you can provide some driving tips.
 
If my math is right, 10.1 kWh/100 KM is the equivalent of .1692 kWh/1 mile, or 6.13 mi/kWh. This translates to a range of 115 miles (using 18.8 kWh capacity)

Still mighty impressive.
 
Apart from the amazing low consumption, I also notice very low regen:

[x] Regen (App): 1.9 kWh/100km (32.7 mi/kWh)

I live up a hill, so I get good regen on the way down, but low regen on the way back, My average so far is 4.8kWh/100km and the community average is 3.7. Don't know if the community average is worldwide or just the country/region I live in.

My last trip shown in the app was 16km across the city and then up the hill, Regen for that trip was 3.0kWh/100km. Dejay's driving profile "80% hilly country roads, 20% city" is probably the opposite of mine, but unless you are accelerating down hill, you should get good regen down every hill.

Perhaps there is something not quite right with Dejay's data?
