We just bought a new BMW i3 yesterday and totally love it! It had only 30 miles charge when we took it from the dealership. So we took it to a DC fast charger location and charged it to 99%. When the charge was done, the range display showed 147 miles for electric and 78 miles on Range extender. We drove it back home and saw 145 miles on display even after parking. So we got really exited that the new i3 gave around 150 miles on electric !
Then this morning I registered on connect drive and downloaded the app on my phone. The connected drive app and website showed 129 miles range. So I went to the car with the app and now the car also shows 129 miles on electric! What happened? Why did this connected drive reduce my miles? If I had known this connected drive app is programmed to reduce the actual miles, I would have never downloaded it or registered for it It is a totally useless app that did nothing other than reduce the actual mileage on my car! What a shame!
Now how do I get the old 150 miles electric range back? Can someone please let me know how to fix this problem? I don't need this connected drive thing - I need the actual miles. Please help!
Thank You!
