Kyle's enthusiasm for cars is so infectious! Whether it's a top of the line Tesla Model S P100D or a quirky little i3, he's just so happy to get behind the wheel. It's fun to see and I love going for an EV ride with him.

I drove my 2017 i3 rex from dc to Florida. It was absolutely fine and it only took us an extra hour total. People give this car crap for absolutely no reason. It's awesome and the best car you will ever get for 20k used.

Wow, small world! I grew up in the town near where Kyle first stopped to gas up the i3. I realized it when he drove past the church my family belonged to. I may be in another minority, because I starting watching this video for the i3 part. My wife has one, and I've decided it might be a fun challenge to road-trip in it.

Thanks for your informative and interesting videos you came through Dillon on the way back with the etron .I live in Latta and am the only one in my area that owns a Tesla. I enjoy watching your videos especially the latest ones with your trip out west in your Model 3 Performance .Please continue doing these as you are putting great information out there for us Ev owners.I hope you will do one of the Ford Mach E when it comes out in late 2020 or 2021.I know you did a video where you were in a mock version but I would be interested to see one with the real version.

[@IuseanXboxController]

haha the sun dooo kwik shop is a decent stop if the traffic isn't crazy there, trying to make the left in. I actually have a video from there a couple weeks back when we went for labors day to the beach with the Bolt I just bought. A little trip from Fort Mill down to Ocean Isle Beach. Actually charged at like 5 different places in that day just to see how it would go. Think I can make it all the way to the beach to charge at a level 2 right at beach parking for the day and not have to stop as much.... that's going to be an adventure to come very soon. :-) Thanks for making these videos, very informative.

Hi Kyle, I picked up my 2014 i3 Rex and drove it 970 miles on a combination of charging and gas. I used 15 gallons in total. Not too bad. One thing that I was surprised by was how comfortable the drive was. The seat are awesome.

[@h-engelien1232]

The E-tron is such a nice car. Vastly superior to any Tesla when it comes to design and build (both interior and exterior) imo. Actually, the E-tron is the best selling car here in Norway so far in 2020. And currently EV's make out over 50% of all new car sales here. Thanks for sharing your roadtrip with us :)

[@205rider8]

True on the build and all of the bells and whistles but the performance and efficiency is much worse that Tesla.

Another great adventure Kyle, it would be awesome to see a smaller, lighter and simpler version of the eTron as a sporty hatchback. Regarding the i3, have you heard of anyone installing a larger tank to extend the range for roadtrips in areas where charging is limited? A gas can in the back is one option, but an actual tank would be much cleaner.

Former i3 REx owner here. I recall that sense of "adventure" well. I was actually surprised at how capable it was. I do feel for folks who don't know about coding, however.

@@mamadouaziza2536 I drove 970 miles . I charged 10 times for a total of 104 kWh and used 15.6 gals of gas. I averaged a MPGe of 52 . My sense of a ICE car with 30 miles per gallon would had used 32 gals of gas. It took a while but it was worth it. One thing that surprised me was how comfortable the i3 is. No back pain or leg pain. Good road tripping car for comfort but not for range. In the future I'll use this car for around town and trips up to 200 miles. Thanks for asking!

Greetings. All your videos are informative, much respect. On your i3 as far as the coding, did you do it yourself? What chip did you get or have? What app if any did you use. I just got a 2016 with range extender. What other recommendations do you advise for this car. After watching your videos, really enjoyed the other ones on the etron an the Mach e. Great job , keep them coming and thank you very much!

[@fpartidafpartida]

I’ve been wanting to see you do a road trip on an eTron....almost offered mine up for ya....but very glad Nick took one for the team instead. I really hope you get to do a long trip using electrify America 150kw chargers and compare that to what you are used to in the Tesla. I know you usually don’t charge to full because of the tapering...but I think the Audi has battery temp controls that minimize that. We only have 1 EA charger in MN , so I haven’t been able to personally test the FC for road trips.

[@ilovecats748]

Fun fact: the motor was made and designed by the Taiwanese company Kymco, a company that BMW Motorrad has worked with/shared badge engineering in their big moped division

[@Tom55data]

My wife has an Audi A3 e-tron (PHEV), and I have a lot a problem with the signal pin and control pin are too small - and it constantly has problem with charging not registering. You need to give the plug a wiggle to help it start charging quicker.

[@donswier]

It's hard for people to realize (was for me, too) that a continually-running 34hp generator filling a battery is MUCH different that just a 34hp engine in a 3000lb car. Analogy: Much like a quiet stream continually filling a hydroelectric reservoir, ready for a spike in usage, drivers RARELY need the i3's fully 170hp (unless you're racing up Pikes Peak at record speed). If you understand the rare limitations of this car, it is a brilliantly thought-out powertrain. I wish other carmakers would follow the path of 100mile EV paired with a simple & small range extender (micro-turbines anyone?)

[@AIMLL]

Yesss! Oh! Can you please also try a Kia and other Evs as well?

[@nosoupforyou425]

You can thank California for having to hack the fuel tank. Have had 2 i3 rex in the past - loved them both: 2015, 2017. I did a 1200 mile road trip in the '17 and kept a 1 gallon fuel can loaded for just in cases..... I did the TJA as well to my '17, was so much fun. Hated to get rid of - went back to petrol as charge times were killing me at work. Found the i3 to be a great car and hope to get a last generation once they get over the 200 mpcharge and Rex again. It was cheaper to drive the i3 and petrol - LOL than the Audi etron

What would you say is your combined MPGe when you combine your REX with the battery?

[@malcolmhedges7346]

You know you can programme a radio button to activate the REX ? We have ours on 8 (RHD, closet to the driver) easy peasy Ah, spoke to soon. I'm pondering trading our 2016 94 rex in for a 120 S bev, not sure there's a lot of benefit but they look cool :) . We have had a model 3 since March but my wife won't let go of the i3, she loves it

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Thumbs up.

[@pimpgrrl13]

Do you notice a smell when the range extender is used? We just bought a 2014 i3. Just to see how it works with the range extender, we let the battery run out and kept going. When I got to a charging station and got out of the car, I noticed an odor. Is that normal?

[@garyclark6747]

Stunning interior and lite handles is a nice touch. Love the screen layouts and HUD. Not sure why HUD doesn’t fit the minimalist style but the add on units for Tesla’s are optically offensive. Put it on the windshield and keep the look simple.

Thank you for saying that Gary I saw a couple different versions and it ruined the whole look of the car and I was honestly offended glad to see I’m not alone have a good one

For someone who wants an ultra quiet and comfy ride, the etron is amazing. I almost got one - but the range is just too low and the acceleration is just too slow. If they could improve these 2 areas, the etron would be amazing. Tesla are just too noisy on the hwy - even the model s and x.

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

I thought the same, but after living with it, the acceleration is more than fine and range hasn’t been an issue at all.

[@DonMillerNC]

Cypress trees. Would the REV engine run out of gas or does it cut off when low fuel? Once EA sites are back up I'd like to see what the max average trip speed would be in an i3. Your SC to SC to maximize Tesla trips speed, but for an i3 (with software mods).

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

It just turns off when the fuel level is low enough - similar to running out of gas but without hurting a fuel pump. Pre software change, it would shut off when only 1.9 gallons were run though, now it'll let the near full tank size of 2.4 gallons go through. I would like to see this charger hopping as well!

Reminds me of a few road trips I took when I got my i3 in 2014. Not much charging infrastructure in yet, so most trips were on the range extender. I really liked the i3, it had some leading edge technology when it first came out. But it’s a bit dated now. I’ll be replacing my second i3 lease with a Model Y in a month or two.

[@giulianofederico]

Omg! Leaving a BMW for a Tesla? Are you sure????!

[@PaulNelson392]

Giuliano Federico yes, I’m picking up my Model Y this weekend.

[@PaulNelson392]

John Edwards For one, it has limited range. My 2017 has a range of 110 miles, the 2020 has a range of 126 miles. Not much of an improvement. It doesn’t have autonomous driving, just adaptive cruise control. No lane keeping assist, no lane departure warning, no blind spot detection. The adaptive cruise operates on 1 camera that can have issues with fog, rain and low sun. In these conditions it kicks off the cruise control a lot. It does have self parking, I used it 1 time when I first got it. It was OK, but I can parallel park just fine on my own. The only difference between my i3 and a new one is 16 miles more range and Apple CarPlay, and both of those were added on the 2018 model year.

This really puts the i3 in a bad light. Any i3 built in the last 5 years could make that trip with NO stops. When mine is fully charged in the summer it shows 170 miles on battery and 80 miles on the range extender. Total: 250 miles.

[@UltramaticOrange]

The i3 keeps being the car that I expect to like but ends up being a let-down for me.

[@natehill8069]

So you can trick the motor into charging the car while its not moving? Interesting. In the Volt, the engine is big enough to fully replace the battery, but it never charges per se. Of course it (and the tank - 9g, about 400 miles worth) takes up a lot more of the volume. How does the heat work in i3? In the Volt they were thinking "hybrid" when they designed it, so electric heat is an afterthought; resistance only, they didnt add the $12 reversing valve to the A/C to make it a heat pump, they stupidly figured you would run the engine for heat.

[@OutofSpecMotoring]

The motor isn’t connected to the wheels, just directly to the battery. Other than that it’s the normal i3 BEV - and yes, resistive heating

[@natehill8069]

@@OutofSpecMotoring Disappointing, I would have expected Germans to go the extra 1.61 km and fit a heat pump. The Volt will connect the engine to the wheels once you are at speed because that's more efficient than converting torque to electricity and back again; its interesting to watch the power provision bars as it accelerates. OTOH I would assume the i3 always runs the engine at a single (most efficient) RPM. That could make for a REALLY quiet muffler.
