mwbushroe, you're an engineer, you should now crap data in will only give you crap results. Your battery warranty is 5yrs/60k miles to lose 4 bars. A quick google search will give you your 2014 warranty booklet. Your battery is behaving normally for phoenix. Your testing and extrapolation...
Running two separate lines to garage (even in the same conduit) is silly and the electrician is laughing at you for wanting this. Have them pull a set of wires for a 100a panel in the garage, that way you can add outlets and lights easily and quickly in the future. This will only take up a...
What? No. Charge to 100% before you get to bent out of shape. Trying to back-in to battery health from kWh numbers is a tough game that is impossible only charging to 80%, it'd even be difficult to be accurate going up to 100%...
What a difference a resistance heater can make...
Based on what my Leaf dashboard says I'm down to 2.7 mi/kWh from 4.0 this summer. This is with the heater cranked and aggressive driving so I'm not complaining. Just a data point.
That's a steal on the 2014's! I would buy that in a heartbeat. I would check which one has the latest in service date to have the longest warranty period, but I don't think I would let that change your preference on color/interior combo... Enjoy!
I charge to 100%. I also let it sit that way overnight. Read the stories about people just missing the battery warranty, then decide if you want to "baby" the battery. If nothing else it allows me to never really look at capacity remaining on normal days.
I don't know what you mean by "start the process". You could either "start the process" and get a new battery or you could wait until a later date to "start the process." Me personally, I take the battery replacement as soon as available.
With the wide-spread availability of L2 & L3 charging in the area (check out plugshare.com) I wouldn't be bothered by this trip. Yes, at some point you may not be able to make the round-trip without charging, but this is a once a month trip. With multiple L3's in boulder and Denver and a...
Those "three blinking lights" also indicate general battery charge by 1/3's of the battery.
I prefer just to use the 6.6 kwh the charger will add and an estimate of how many kwh's the battery needs... I don't have carwings either...
Maybe you wouldn't get 30 miles back out of that 35% capacity. I typically see 1 mile per % remaining from about 40% and below, that's my only reference. That's on an 89% capacity 2013...
I understand the charging glitch would be an issue if it persists.
What I don't see is a BMS reset or...
While theoretically the difference in wheel diameter will have a small effect on range, it is a significantly smaller effect than driving style. This is a fun car if you actually drive it...
