I've had my i3 for slightly over 2 months (1.2k miles) now, I've noticed a few little niggles that have been mentioned on the forum (such as the loud clonk) and also these...
Reboot Whilst Driving
Luckily this has only ever happened to me once. Everything rebooted with the exception of the speedo (and the car still drove okay). The warning / standard car lights around the speedo display came on, it made the startup chime noise, everything. A pretty scary experience when you're driving on twisty B roads at 50mph!
Stiff Brake Pedal
I've noticed occasionally the brake pedal gets really hard to push on - sort of like during hill hold. It's actually pretty dangerous because you really have to push hard to get it to brake - something which is thankfully unusual with the regen.
Loss of Regen
This is a strange one. I can't decide whether it's deliberate, a flaw or just being a little bit over zealous. The car seems to suddenly lose it's regen heavy cornering, or roundabouts, which is mostly fine - I presume this is due to the differential (if it has one) / traction control. The problem is that sometimes it randomly stops regen, even in a straight line or a slight bend, it also occasionally won't restart regen after a corner. At this point it just feels like the car is running away on it's own.
Anyone else experienced the same sort of problems?
