I have always charged my 60 ah i3 to 100% whenever possible, and it often sits with a full battery for 3 or 4 days to a week at a time. Seven years I've been doing this... also plenty of DC fast charging. Not even a hint of range loss after 102,000 miles. It should be obvious that when you have...

You have inadvertently pressed a button on the remote. Long press opens the windows. This is a silly feature that is nice on hot days, but can get your i3 water logged if it is raining.

I bet that tire was way over-inflated.

Not an expert, but was this vehicle in a crash? The high voltage connection to the traction battery may have been disabled as a safety feature immediately after a crash. You may have to visit an independent BMW repair shop and ask them for help diagnosing the error codes... they MIGHT have the...

It was a stack of foam boards and very tiny shower stall... the whole thing weighed under 150 pounds. I used 8 suction cups and multiple straps. Drove it 80 miles on the highway without any safety concerns whatsoever. Hard braking and swerving would not budge it. There was some range...

If it works sometimes, it is probably not the charge cable lock actuator at fault. A simple way to find out is plug in to a level 1 or 2 with your battery somewhere below 100% and lock the car. If the little white pin above the charge cable moves out when you lock it, it is working properly...

Were you by any chance in eco pro plus mode?

I would be curious to know if you get a drivetrain error after your first use of a Tesla super charger. I did after both times I used one. It went away after using a regular CCS fast charger...

In the Olympic Peninsula and around Olympia and the Washington coast where I often take long trips, I have never seen a Tesla Super charger station full. They rarely seem to have more than one or two cars. The Magic Dock I used has 8 stations. Never seen more than 2 Teslas there at once...

(Crossposted on facebook) 2015 REX using the Tesla Magic Dock: Each time I use the magic dock, I immediately get a drivetrain error upon unplugging. The good news is that it's not a serious issue and goes away after about 2 weeks... or you can make it go away by simply plugging into a normal...

If you drain the fuel tank, the REX will not try to start.. as far as I'm aware.

My 60ah 2015 has almost 88,000 miles on it. I charge to 100% at home regularly and DC fast charge a fair amount. I have driven the same route hundreds of times in the last 5 years. Not a hint of ANY degradation of the battery. I reach the same milestones at similar temperatures and times of...

Search for Kayak Rollers on ebay. I bought 4 of these for far less than sea sucker. I have hauled a complete small shower stall and at another time 12 -8' 2X6s on the roof.... a bit more weight than I liked, but it worked.

The roof is carbon fiber, not metal.

No. The BMS takes care of that for you. There is an upper and lower battery buffer. Why add more buffer, and thus reduce range?

I purchased 4 kayak rollers from ebay. That's 8 suction cups. Much cheaper option. I cut down 2 of them and used pieces of straight 1/2" copper pipe instead of the taller bent tubing that came with them. I put the 2 short ones in the front and the 2 unaltered ones in the rear so that the load...

Nice response, but: "so why store an i3 fully charged when doing so isn't necessary?" Because there is no such thing as a fully charged i3 battery, perhaps? I would trust the battery management software to take care of it. Of course, you might be on to something with the 12 volt battery...

We are just heading out on our 100th (or so) 350 mile round day-trip in our 2015 REX, so I don't have time to comment on whether or not they are good for that : ) Maximum in one day: 515 miles in winter conditions.
