Hi! Anybody has a spare 155/70-19 Bridgestone Ecopia Ep600 tire with about half it its life left? If so, I want to buy it :) One of my front tires seems to have small leak that can't be fixed. I would like to replace it, but the other front tire still has about 4.2 mm left and I would like to...

Just did it myself and it worked like a charm! Only thing worth underlining: don’t be a dummy like me when pulling the air vent. You have to pull straight forward, not straight up. I broke one of the clips in the process by doing that. It still clicked back in place like nothing ever happened...

Yes, XXL.

Done!

Thanks for the great tip! And it currently seems to be discounted for Black Friday. Ordering it right away!

Excellent advice! Thank you!

Hello! As I am looking into shipping my i3 to Europe (about $7K cheaper than buying the same car there), it seems that the main hurdle is the front LED side markers. For some reason, Spain is obsessed with lights, and in order to register the car there, those markers would have to either be...

Thanks! Yes, the first one is the full J1772 charger with a Euro plug on the other end. I have approached them through eBay, and they replied saying that yes, that charger is intended for US cars charging in Europe. About the CCS combo one, I see that there are many others. But I can’t really...

We will most likely be moving our i3 REX to Europe. The cost difference between selling it in the US and purchasing the exact same car in the EU would be around $12K. Focusing on changing only, I found these two adapters that seem to promise to be able to allow for charging in Europe without...

Shipping the car might make financial sense, or at least break even? Checking used prices in the US vs EU, it looks like the same i3 would be around $5000 more expensive overseas. So if we factor in the reduced amount that one would get by selling the US car, even as a private sale, we might be...

Yeah, I used to own a barebones 2014 BEV, and even that one had DC charging. I don’t know how many shipped to the US without it, but my guess is very few, if any.

It was a mobile repair shop that I found through Yelp. They came to our garage and it took them about a couple of hours to fix the wheel. Probably they don't cover the SFV area, but I would check what wheel repair shops Yelp shows around there with good reviews...

Quick follow up. I ended up going with a mobile service called Pit Stop (LA area) and they did a fantastic job for just $99.

Reviving this thread because I am entertaining the idea of shipping an i3 REX to the EU. Charging aside, what other things need to be considered? -Is it required to make any changes to the headlights or tailights? I have seen threads talking about retrofitting the rear fog light, which I...

Fortunately, it seems that more independent shops are getting into the business of repairing batteries. A few are popping up in the West Coast, and you might be able to find some around your area also. For instance, these guys are in the LA area, but it might not hurt reaching out...
