I think the problem is in the "shifter". My brother, who owned the car my Mom has, said that he had to have some corroded / intermittent contacts in the "shifter" fixed. Because, it is an electronic control - there is no mechanical linkage to the "transmission"; which is a one-speed reduction...

Update on my Mom's i MiEV - this didn't happen in reverse, and then happened when it was put in Drive. The dealer diagnosed it as a problem with a small gear which engages Drive - I will clarify this if I can.

Hi, My Mom's 2012 i MiEV got these exact lights on a few days ago, and then again today. The RBS is regenerative braking system. The turtle (which was on earlier) is the creep mode when the battery is super low. She also had the shifter D light blinking slowly, which COULD mean to have the...

Thanks for posting! Those look awesome, if expensive.

PBS NOVA had one of their best programs, ever: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/decoding-weather-machine.html

Ooops! Someone needs some help with logic?

I missed the posts about this, on his thread. Thanks for linking them.

Someone who has been fairly active on this forum, bennelson has had a serious accident, while testing a friend's converted electric motorcycle. Here's a post on EcoModder with information...

For me, the center console buttress is a deal breaker. I doubt very much that I would fit comfortably.

So far, this is pretty similar to our e-Golf and LEAF. Since EV's don't have excess heat, we tend to not run the defroster when we don't have to, obviously. The LEAF has a deeper trough, and the e-Golf has a more closed trough.

Something needs to change, that is for sure. How many people buy a car (ICE or otherwise) and then have it serviced at a local shop? Dealers are so often, not as good and/or much more expensive for regular maintenance, anyway. They very often try to up sell you, and sell you new brakes, when...

I didn't drive our Bolt EV that day. My son did, and he didn't mention any issues. When I have used the defroster, it works as expected.

This is a new concept? It looks very similar to a concept from several years ago. I do like it!

We just got our Bolt EV about 2 weeks ago. In general, it is wonderful. Two EV-centric niggles: no light in the charging port, and no coasting in D. We are a tall family, and we fit in the Bolt EV better than any other car (let alone any other EV!), so there's that. It is the longest range EV...

You can add a backup camera for reasonable money - the camera is powered up when the backup lights come on, and some are wirelessly connected to the monitor. https://www.amazon.com/wireless-backup-camera-Electronics/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3Awireless%20backup%20camera

I recently heard that the Model 3 will come with "Michelin Green" tires.

Um ... the Golf GTE is a plugin hybrid. I.E. different model from the e-Golf.

You may well be right. The thing we know for sure is, the bug eyed headlights are no more.
