It's not exactly what you're asking, since this is a WiFi OBD topic, but if you subscribe to the online services (or whatever it's called as I type this) then you might want to check out the BimmerConnected project. It's a plugin for HomeAssistant, but the code can be modified and used on its...

^This thing. Also don't forget to change the blinker fluid every 2 years. ;) JK, about that . . . . . . but serious about checking that old battery before you're stuck somewhere. And keep enjoying your car, of course.

Thanks. These posts have helped me understand what's going on there and the general reasoning for it. If you want ridiculous, in my part of the USA I'm lucky that my REX is considered a plug-in hybrid because the EV penalty is lower than that for a full EV.

Out of curiosity, what circumstances would have resulted in a lower (or higher) tax for you?

From the attached manual scan: Operating Requirements: . . . > Both hands on the steering wheel. Hmmm. . . One-handed drivers need not apply . . .

It's what some call the little footrest for your "outboard" foot which otherwise wouldn't be doing anything without a clutch. For me in the US, that'd be my left foot. I have no idea if the concept is implemented oppositely on a right-hand-drive car, I've never been in one.

I find that very hot temperatures don't (40-45C) don't compromise range all that much -- certainly not like cold temps with the resistive heat (I have a REX). And the comfort climate control is very nice when running errands on hot days.

Don't worry about the range; drive on in to get a new battery before you have to walk.

Perhaps you're calling me those things, perhaps you are not -- plausible deniability, I suppose.

I've seen less risky projects that failed . . .

I could live without yet another something wanting to solve a solved problem with an "app".

What in particular makes you suggest that there's anything underhanded going on, or that the licenses are not legit? It's a serious accusation . . .

Unexpected auto-renewals can be a pain, but BMW's non-notification of lapsing subscription is still kinda odd in the other direction. I know I need to update my sub when my kid notices the RTTI highlights disappear from the streets on the map . . .

Definitely try these features so you can brag to your ICE driving friends and family about how cool they are. Or how warm they are if you're bragging in wintertime . . .

Done that. Once.

I haven't ignored anything, I have a differing opinion.

Since the OP still has some electric bill, I'd imagine they sell excess back to the utility rather than storing it at home in their off-grid cabin.

IMO the solar panels on the Aptera is more of a marketing gimmick. The claimed output of the solar panels is way higher than could be hoped for, even if it were sunny with a 100% chance noon all day. OTOH, that 700W isn't going to do that much for its range -- that's less than one horsepower in...

I mean the "Whatsap" . . .
