I've reached a decision on the i3... It's on my blog. [spoiler alert: we refused delivery.]

Thanks Mike...

Here's the link... (also editing the old one.)

Surprised they've deleted AM radio. Are Dodger's games on Sirius? Been awhile since I was in a car with satellite radio.

AM works reasonably well in our Leaf. There isn't any interference from the car. We occasionally use it to listen to Radio 5. Reception isn't great as we are a long distance from the transmitter.

The Active E had Sirius/XM and the MLB games were only available on the Internet Streaming product. Additionally, over the course of my decades in Southern California, AM Radio has been the most reliable source for post-Earthquake updates, and that was also a concern. Most importantly, my wife does not want to garage the Roadster (her daily driver) for our S (and I would've driven the i3), so it was a foregone conclusion.

Wish our LEAF had DAB radio here in Blighty, sick of AM.

Hi all,

Figured to join the SpeakEV forum for a non-manufacturer specific EV community in my bag of EV places to "hang."

As of this writing, I'm a former Active E Electronaut, current i3 reservation holder (still waiting), current Tesla Model S (primary driver) and Tesla Roadster owner (occasional driver (my wife's car)). I can be found on forums as either Dennis or dennis or AEdennis depending on whether someone else has already snatched up Dennis as a handle or on twitter as dennis_p.

I occasionally blog about my adventures in EV ownership on my blog, "My Active E has made me Accidentally Environmental. And Tesla made me a rEVolutionary."

I am currently dealing with decreasing CAC values on our CPO Tesla Roadster 1.5 and finally having to decide whether or not to spend the money on an i3 (BMW has finally delivered the car to the port in Southern California) and have my wife garage her Roadster (and hand over the keys to the Model S to her for her normal drive.)

Anyways, that's me...

Dennis

A few years ago I introduced myself to the Speak EV community... I thought that this would be the appropriate spot to also provide a link to my five year EV anniversary...

Made some great friends on your side of the Pond and I look forward to the day that EVs are the norm and not the exception.

From three years ago, I was disappointed in having to leave my Active E behind...

Now looking forward to the Model 3 to join the Model S and Roadster in our fleet of EVs.
