Three different reviews from media people who took the test drive offered this week at CES, the giant annual consumer electronics convention in Las Vegas:

Thanks for the links!

I don't know where periscope and daily tech got their information from, but some of their ideas about recharge times are way off the mark...

2-3hrs at 110v? Don't think so...

Some of the 'tech' reviews of the i3 from CES have been quite amusing. I read one this week which said that the domestic rapid charger is twice as fast but the cost per charge is double due to higher energy consumption and this one (link) says that due to the regen braking it doesn't even have a regular brake pedal :ugeek:

Having said that, there has been some good coverage too. Engadget are actually the first journo's I've seen who have video'd the park assist in action.
