I use this air vent-mount Qi charger one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DZRPZQN Sits on the "middle driver's side" vent, with the "feet" in the lowest position, it doesn't block any controls, with or without the phone (iPhone X). I usually have that vent closed, the "middle passenger's...

I have the BMW Connected app on my phone. It is linked to my family's shared calendar (iOS, iCloud Shared calendar.) Occasionally, I will get the "leave in 5 minutes to make it to <appointment>" from the BMW Connected app for appointments that aren't on my calendar! Today, one popped up for...

Indeed, if you do a Google search for segments of that post, you can find it verbatim WITHOUT the spam link dating back 4 years in another car-oriented forum. So the spammer just copy/pasted a vaguely-appropriate looking few paragraphs, and inserted their spam link.

Either way, you're getting $7,500 off the purchase price. One as a time-of-lease discount off the lease financed amount; the other as a tax refund the following year.

The federal is a tax credit. If, on April 15 of next year, you would have owed Uncle Sam $7500 without buying an EV, but you bought a qualifying EV, you would owe Uncle Sam $0. If you would have gotten a $500 refund without buying an EV, you would instead get a refund of $8000. It reduces your...

Thanks for the link to that thread. One eBay auction I see for "front trunk" button fobs comes with two. Maybe I'll get that one, and "practice" my dismantling on one of them...

Damn, >$1000 for a set of four. I want four cheap wheels to mount winter tires to (probably the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-500.) But at $1000 for the set-of-four, I'd be too afraid of getting them damaged! I guess I'll just have to wait for an i3 to hit a local wrecking yard to buy the wheels off...

Good suggestions from others - get out passengers' side, turn off DRLs. One other is that the cigarette lighter outlet under the center armrest has the highest-power fuse, although it's still not a ton - 140 Watts total for all three 12V sockets. You could also tap in to the 12V directly...

12V, but if you leave the car "on" it will keep 12V "topped off" from HV.

If my charging would be reasonably available/visible from the road, it wouldn't be too big a deal, there's a nice park one block one way, and a coffee shop one block the other. (Which I'm surprised doesn't have a charger - the owner has an i3!)

If mine were readily accessible from the street, sure. But you have to pull quite a ways in my driveway, and block our other vehicle, and block whoever is driving OUR i3 from parking. Eventually, we'll build a garage - and pave our driveway. When we get around to that, I'll try to arrange so...

What?

The ones pictured aren't carpet - they're the plastic/rubber "all weather" mats. You can try a bleach spray. Unfortunately, stains can get deep in to the clear rubber coating, which can be nigh-impossible to remove.

I have the newer key fob with the i8 rear trunk opening icon on the "trunk" button. But I have it coded to open the frunk instead. I would like the key fob to have the right picture (specifically for my wife, I don't care.) But, as we all know, a key fob can't be reprogrammed to work on another...

I see LOTS of cars around me with the front license plate just sitting in the windshield/on the dashboard. It's not legal, but I see so many, they must just not enforce it.

Well, I got my Quidzel module last week, and tpaxadpom did the coding on it last night. Three hours of troubleshooting, and it looks like another dead module. It says TJA is available, but when I try to activate, it fails, and there are error codes indicating steering wheel wrong version...

What kind of device? iPhone, Android? Model? OS version?

So, the car is always "running the wheels" on electricity. No matter what (unless you run so far out of battery+gas that it refuses to move at all.) When the REx is running, it is supplying electricity to the batteries. The motor then draws power from the batteries to run the wheels...

Okay, I'm thoroughly confused by your "hypothetically" and other oddities. Could you please just state it plainly? Are you saying "when playing YouTube on my phone, the audio does not go to the car via Bluetooth"? It works fine for me, I've had YouTube movies playing on an iPad in the back...

Earlier in the thread, someone posted a Flickr album of them, you can see the black "lip" around the main mat - https://www.flickr.com/photos/watson_collins/sets/72157645757131254/ They should hold water when stationary and level. Obviously it would slosh around when you move, or are on a hill.
