Everyone made fun of me for having one, but it was the perfect city car. Great turning radius & it fit basically anywhere. And the plastic body meant that if someone opened their door into you, it just bounced off instead of leaving a dent.

It's a shame they never made any significant improvements on the range. After degradation, the range on the i3 ends up pretty abysmal. The REx was a fun idea too and even let me take the car on multi-hundred mile road trips, without recharging, after coding the REx to one of the buttons in the car.

yeah, I wonder where it would be if they'd continue to put development money on the drivetrain and battery tech. It just seemed they left the concept behind despite growing sales numbers, and moved towards 6000 lb SUV EVs...

I had no idea you could do that! So, if you were starting a long trip, you could kick the REx on at like 80%?

I have an i3 and it has been my favorite car so far. I dont even have a second favorite vehicle.

I like the Minis personally. But they are 10k more than a bolt. Something about chickens not paying their taxes?

The MSRP for these things was never competitive, but $15-20k in the used market for a carbon monocoque electric go-kart? Sign me up.
