Both cars look amazing. For the spoiler, for my impression the AC Schnitzer part is a little bit too much. I am wondering if these things are for the good look only or if they improve aerodynamics. The colors of both cars are great as well. Unfortunately mine is black/white only because I was too stingy which never will happen again :)

Cool little cars. I’m looking at getting maybe a 94ah range extender but I worry about driving on our awful pot holed highways here in New Zealand. Are they robust enough for everyday long term use?. Have you had any issues with punctures in the skinny tyres? Thanks

I get mine in a few days! It's the only reasonably priced EV that I actually like, a really interesting car. Re charging, saying it'll charge in a few hours is a bit misleading, as at a 50kw DC charger, it'll charge up to 80% in about 40 mins. And if you're doing a long journey, you'll be using rapid chargers, not 7kw ones.

I had 2 clios and drove most of the RS versions including a Williams. The 197/200 are definitely too heavy for the "ideal" track car. The steering is weak and bland and the gearbox will not take track days. You'll have to put serious cash in it to be able to race it. Better get a Clio 172/182 and go with that.
@Carbonwurks

The 172/182 aren’t without their issues. The chassis although heavier in the 197/200 is more solid and as a whole offers more. Both generations have their place but even in standard form a well driven 200 can be a riot to drive and quick 😀

Hello, I have a question regarding my camera in parking mode. It seems to stop working after several uses without driving the car. Does the camera have an internal battery that loses power over time, or is it directly connected to the car’s battery to maintain power while parked? I’m experiencing an issue where the parking mode works initially, but after several uses without driving, it stops functioning. I assume the camera’s battery is no longer being powered by my Mini Cooper’s battery. Could you please let me know if this is normal? Additionally, could you provide some information on how many minutes or hours the parking mode is supposed to work without driving? Thank you!
@Carbonwurks
@Carbonwurks 17 күн бұрын
If the camera has been wired up correctly then parking mode should work. It will monitor your vehicle battery so if that isn't in the best of health it won't last that long in parking mode. I'd suggest you go get it checked and if necessary, replaced! There is no definitive time frame given as again it depends on different factors. How much it can see, battery life etc etc.

Of the two, I prefer the ACS car. That said, the budget build on my i3s is Maxton Design front splitter, ACS knockoff rear wing (almost identical), M style mirror caps, and some Chinese rear "diffuser" that actually looks and fits great. All gloss black. Daily Los Angeles driver so I haven't fiddled with springs/spacers as I like my ground clearance!

Dan, interested what you, as a pro race driver, make of electric power? I get it's instant power and torque. But does it feel as a driver? Is it good as a daily only or as a toy? I obviously understand we don't have the infrastructure at all yet. Seen a few of these and taycans in my neck of the woods. Like the AC splitter and spoiler. Prefer the rest of the CW! Sorry long question. 😅
@Carbonwurks
@Carbonwurks 19 күн бұрын
So I’ve owned a Tesla Model 3 Performance before which in its own right was a much faster car than the i3S but with all electric cars (including Taycans), there is more to it than just instant power and torque. You can still have fun in them but they don’t give the same level of engagement as a faithful petrol engined car. So in short, you can still enjoy yourself (in a straight line and through corners) but the car doesn’t egg you on. You tend to drive electric cars in a different way and they become just very good daily drivers with a very easy and relaxed driving experience. Electric cars absolutely have their place and are still enjoyable, but in my opinion only work financially if you can mostly charge at home with cheap charging rates. Front splitter on the i3 looks mega, maybe one in future to go on mine 😬
