    Rejoining the (extended) family

    Friends, Our '23 Air Touring was totaled last month after having been hit by a drunk driver in December; there's another post covering that. We got a reasonable settlement from the other insurance company and I discussed replacing the beloved car with my wife. As noted in another of my prior...

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    My daughter was with me as we were driving a steady 68MPH down Loop 101 in Chandler, in the right lane, and at 5:41PM, my rearview mirror was filled with speeding car less than a half-second before impact. The other driver stopped with us, AZ DPS came, and a witness returned to the scene to...

    Day trip: Phoenix to Clarkdale and back

    My Dad just celebrated his 80th birthday, and I treated him and his wife (he's remarried) to a ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad last Monday. The ride was delightful-- highly recommended to anyone in Arizona, to enjoy the beautiful landscape. Not a lot of wildlife to be seen on this trip...

    USB shuffle stops shuffling?

    First, I must say that the addition of USB shuffle in 2.2.2 has been WONDERFUL. I have a decent collection on USB and was looking forward to this feature perhaps more than any other since I bought my Air last year. That said, it seems to hiccup after I'm done with a drive and reenter for...

    Epic road trip: I survived Colorado's big snowstorm

    Folks, my round-trip from Phoenix to Colorado Springs went well, but not without excitement. This was my first EV road trip and as you saw from another recent thread of mine, I was a bit worried. What if I couldn't charge successfully at a charging station and didn't have enough range left to...

    Undo trip computer reset?

    I've generally used my first trip odometer to track my efficiency on a weekly basis, and wanted to keep the second trip odometer as a lifetime efficiency tracker. Unfortunately, I was a little off my game and inadvertently reset that one. Is there a way to undo the reset? :( I've still been...

    Just about to road-trip from Phoenix to Colorado Springs, any advice?

    I'm planning a solo trip, leaving home Tuesday morning and driving all the way to Pueblo (750mi) in one day, driving the last few miles into Colorado Springs the next morning to spend the day with family, return to Pueblo at night, and return all the way home the next day. Plan is to drive up...

    Just test-drove the Air Pure RWD

    I've read the media's takes on the Air Pure RWD but never saw anyone tell in detail how the experience differed going from one Air model to another. I test-drove the GT a little over a year ago, then I bought the Touring and have put 8000 miles on it, and now I've driven a Pure RWD, once again...

    L2 charging just before driving in the cold improves driving efficiency?

    I'm an EV newbie and this is my first winter with an EV-- well, as "winter" as Phoenix gets. Mornings have been in the 30s or 40s, and afternoons in the 50s to 70s. My driving efficiency since I got the car is about 4.4mi/kWh. I was seeing closer to 4.8 during the milder temps in October and...

    My first unscheduled service: AT thinks it's charging

    My AT is just under four weeks old and has a little over 1200 miles on it. Anticipating its first trip, I went to EA on Friday and charged up to 80 percent, and then had plenty of time to top up at home. But when charging at home, it gained another 30-ish miles of range before an unexpected...

    EPA efficiency rating confusion

    Hey crew, here's my first question for the forum, and included in it, hopefully some consolation for my fellow owners: My AT with 19s has a quoted range of 425 miles, and the battery pack is indicated to be 92kWh. 425 mi / 92 kWh = 4.6 mi/kWh, a figure I've seen quoted here, along with...

    Beyond excited to be joining you from Chandler, AZ!

    When flying solo, my daily driver for the last 30 years is actually a bicycle, and my legs have about a quarter-million miles on them. But I've been a car nut since before I was ten. In 2011, I bought my dream car, a Corvette with a manual transmission. People were in shock when I sold it on...
