I used to be "with it," but then they changed what "it" was; now what I'm with isn't "it," and what's "it" is seems weird and scary to me.

Yikes!!!

You're probably fine . . . original covers were ok with EF1 tornado wind-driven rain in Kansas. Pretty Wizard of Oz here that night! Sideways rain coming from the charging flap side of car . . .

How did that work? Did your car already have the necessary hardware -- the hands-on-wheel detector or whatever it's called?

Here in Kansas, it costs $20 more each year to register a hybrid, and $70 more to register an all electric vehicle vs. an ICE car. :(

Well, if I ever saw yours, it would be the first Protonic Blue one I saw in person! Looks nice.

I'm a (very) small contributed to the BimmerConnected project which is a ConnectedDrive plugin for HomeAssistant. And I can tell you that BMW is always monkeying around with the backend. Sometimes they have (accidental?) connectivity issues in some regions, and sometimes they start deiberately...

That's a nice shade of blue. I don't believe that was ever offered in a US market i3. Nicely complements the interior.

In the middle of the US, I see another i3 on the road almost every other week.

That guy was waiting 6.5 years to use that again!

Here in the Sunflower State, USA, my statuses all seem to be still available. I've got a '17, which does have a 4g modem -- that doesn't stop it from displaying a globe and the text "3G" when connecting . . someone hardcoded or bitmapped that or something. ;) I don't, however, use the app. I...

I couldn't make any sense of the "excessive discharge while parked" warning when I got it. I wondered if I left accessories on somehow, except that I didn't see any suggestion that the auto-off wasn't working. In retrospect, the only times I saw the warnings were in the weeks leading up to the...

Sure they did . . .

It'd be like asking the old-time gas station attendant how much gas you'll need . . . it all depends on how far you went -- or want to go . . . For a more useful rule-of-thumb approximation, I think it'd be a conservative guesstimate that you could add 30-ish miles of range per charging hour...

Although our plates in my state are unrelated to the car's manufacture, they do have a charming(?) quirk of expiring in a month corresponding to owner's last name -- so the Zychowskis get a few months more depreciation factored in before the year's fees are paid than the Adams and the Browns...

I don't know about plates other than in my china cabinet, but mine only auto-releases the brake if my seat belt is buckled. So I guess the first thing I might check is the sensor that verifies you're buckled-in. Maybe debris in the buckle housing or something easy like that. It's always nice if...

Battery management is religion. Pick the one that suits you and tell everyone else their batteries are -- metaphorically or literally -- going to hell.

I think that's the color they call Solar Orange.

Unless that engineering degree came in a box of Cracker Jacks, the greater degree of resolution was just the translator not knowing how sig figs worked . . . They saw 9 liters and assumed that meant 9.00 (repeating on to infinity) liters, which of course it did not. Then they naively divided...

My Deka doesn't have vanity mirror lights at all. But since I'm bald, that's a non-issue. Even for my wife, the biggest complaint is that there aren't any kleenex in the console on the Deka interior . . .
