Yes, thats what I put it down to. Hence my question about it really being a city car.

The ranges quoted are actual ranges. I typically get about 4.5m/kwh and my overall average is 4.2. There is very rarely any spirited accelerations and the short trips are generally without any significant stops. The longer trip was a variety of roads driven in comfort mode and speeds between...

My focus for the question is on the range changes depending on long or short journeys. Ive no problem with the car, just wondering why it performs so much better on longer journeys.

I ask as I have had my i3 for more than a year now so had a chance to drive it from a late summer through a uk winter and back to summer again so have seen the effect of temp on range. However, more important seems to be the effect of the length of journey. Typically, if I use my car from lots...

I just text my wife and she opens the door!

Whats ‘homelink”?

Glad the dealers been helpful. I was concerned about this glass from the start and wonder why they used such a relatively fragile material?

Strange, mine does not….

DC is still pretty useless down here as there are virtually no DC charge points. Moreover, in 12 months I have never had the need to charge anywhere but at home given that I bought the car for journeys less than 100 miles.

19 or 20 inch wheels?

i3marc - I cant imagine how you manage to get 100 miles out of the car on a regular basis! I struggle to get 85 at the moment (temp around 16 deg C) and in winter (around 0 to 4 deg C here) I would only get about 60miles.

Definitely sound like a fault. If I touch the ridged section of the handle and the key is on me or very close (like in my golf bag!) the car locks immediately. To unlock is just as smooth as long as you use the part of the handle towards the front of the car - otherwise your hand is too close...

I don’t find my i3 to be a wanderer at all. For the first few days I found the steering to be a little more responsive than my previous cars but I soon got used to it and no longer notice anything unusual.

Glad you got a good result. However, I would challenge your statement that 'There are plenty of people reporting Air Bag warnings. Broken Motor Mounts (That took 2 trips to the dealer to diagnose), bad computers, unavailable tires, airbag faults, charging issues, connectivity issues.” On...

If you tell us where you are it may help as temp has a huge influence on predicted range.

Same with all of my BMWs - I just leave the key on the seat!

I can set preconditioning from the app but not to just start the climate control - is that what you want? If so, on the start up screen there is an icon in the bottom left hand corner that looks like a wifi signal icon. Tap that and you get the remote options. All very obtuse, but its the...

YES.

Its really a question of risk v reward. Is the reward (not having to stop for 5 mins to refuel) worth the risk, albeit small, of a fire?

True. I haveno desire to read text or emails when I’m in the car - in fact it is probably dangerous and possibly illegal in UK!
