    YAMMV - Close call

    It seems to be about 8%, but the percentage varies based on SOC or other factors.

    Main amp location?

    Pretty sure it's behind the glove box, which must be removed to access it.

    Daily Driving...125-150 per day

    I drive 120 miles round trip on I95 in MD every day. I usually average 32-35 mph, 5+ mi/kWh in the summer 4.2 so far this winter. The kind of mileage you indicate would not a problem. A sort of worst-case scenario was last year when the highs were around 5ºF for a few days. The maximum range...

    Trick for opening armrest storage?

    You can open the latch with your finger when the lid is forward by pressing on the "button" part of the latch mechanism that would be pressed by the button on the lid. However, I think it would be easier to press the lid back and open it, since that specific part of the mechanism can be...

    2017 Vehicle Credit?

    I've read the instructions. What part are you referring to?

    2017 Vehicle Credit?

    Do you have a reference for the "installation" part? The instructions for the form only refer to "property" which to me wouldn't include installation costs, except maybe wires etc., but what do I know? I'm not a tax professional.

    You can read the instructions for IRS form 8911. The credit is for "property," which probably doesn't mean installation costs.

    I'm shopping for an EV. What's next?

    I think a lot of this talk about the I3 ignores the most important consideration: it's really ugly, even for an EV. Most hybrids/EVs are protests against taste in the styling department, but the I3 stands out as particularly hideous. To hear that the function (doors, etc) mostly matches the...

    windshield wiper fluid not working

    I have had lots of trouble with the rear washer. Maybe it gets dirty easily? So you have to pound on the washer button for a while or clean it mechanically to get it out. If that doesn't work, the fluid may be low. Apparently in my experience, fluid can come out the front but not the back if the...

    Metallic Grinding Sound at Low Speed

    I think if you are careful, you will find that it goes away at 15 and comes back at 14 mph. It is indeed the pedestrian warning signal. If you are not sure, you can disconnect the pedestrian warning signal machine by the left wheelwell and see if it goes away.

    new Bolt extended warranty a good idea or not?

    Another important consideration is the mileage limit. If the warranty is 10 years/50k miles, it's basically useless
