I have a strange issue where my iPhone and CarPlay will occasionally not work, and will go on an endless "USB detected," "USB disconnected" loop if I have my iPhone connected to my car prior to powering up the car. I've tested a handful of brand-new phones with factory cables, so I'm pretty...

I reserved one in-person. There's lots of time for everyone else to catch up, but as of today, the 200+mi range, 0-60 <6s, and $35k is a line in the sand no one else is openly standing by, so I don't see the harm in putting a refundable deposit to place myself closer to the front of the line...

Thanks to the forum and the members for keeping me updated -- I went in to get the 93B4 firmware update on my 2016 SE. It took a bit over an hour -- it probably could have been less than an hour if they skipped the courtesy multi-point inspection and car wash. Of course, $0 charge. I did not...

Thanks for the time estimate, and yes, I'd agree that it may get super busy at the dealership, so I checked my 2016 SE's VIN, and sure enough, I was on the list. I booked an appointment for tomorrow. I usually try to wait on software updates, but the comments on the NHTSA complaint logs...

Thank you for sharing -- I'm sure we all have a few stories of our own, but this is one of the best I've heard... Wow, I mean, wow.

Good points, as always. I should have clarified that I would like to see the battery percentage in the vehicle's display. While the car-net view has been handy, 50% of the time, I'm parked underground, where I get no signal, so I have no means to view my battery life via the app. It's not a...

A few things on my mind as I am in month 4 of EV ownership. Battery capacity shown as % and kW, not just "estimated range" and not just an analog battery meter that's hard to read. Ability to recognize Off-Peak hours for charging, and the ability to prioritize that over charging to full...

LOL! Wow, thanks for catching that... Let me go edit the original post...

For me... CA Rebate: 2015-12-15: Filed application electronically 2015-12-18: Application approved 2016-01-22: Check mailed 2016-01-25: Check arrived Posted in another thread, but HOV stickers: 2016-01-04: Application approved 2016-01-25: Check cashed 2016-02-02: Stickers arrived Edit: Fixed...

For me... YMMV, of course. HOV Stickers: 01/04/2016 - application sent 01/25/2016 - check cashed 02/02/2016 - stickers arrived

Looks like I have no HOV lanes on my commute, per: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/trafmgmt/hov/ I guess I could still get white CAV stickers for the 1-2 times a year I'll use it to go to some conference... Although, said conferences would be pushing the round-trip range limit... Since this...

Thanks for the date estimates -- it helps me from forgetting, so I can put something on my calendar once I apply... which I should do soon! ;)

I saw that deal, and was impressed, but it's worth mentioning that you'll still have about $2k worth of taxes, lease origination, DMV fees, etc, so you'll want to account for that. Still a great deal, especially if the 24 month lease works a lot better for your vehicle cycle vs 36 months.

Follow-up: Thanks to miimura for kindly reminding me about the need for the vehicle to be at "Needle on 0 on the "tachometer", and READY in Green on the center display" before the car is fully on. Once the car was fully on, the heat came on after a minute or so of cold air. While it's...

Very good point -- I will have to check for that and try again! I know I've fallen trap to having everything in a lit-up state, but with the arrow pointing to OFF instead of 0 (ready), and have gone as far as to shift into R or D, wondering why I wasn't moving... ;)
