As I mentioned earlier, how and where you drive has more to do with the range you'll get than anything . . . . and you're seeing proof of that Yes, the car is 'recalculating' . . . . sort of - What you see on your RR display is a calculation based on the energy you used to drive the past 15...

I seriously doubt it's a battery issue on a 2016 (they had better batteries than the 2012's) with only 9,000 miles on it, but I suppose anything is theoretically possible - Time will tell as you get used to the car. If you still have questions, read up on the Canion thread and you can...

Welcome to the forum, Michael - Glad you found us! First, I think it's unfortunate that you had this experience early on, when you don't know that much about your car or how to drive it. I suspect this ended up being pretty horrifying experience for you - Something I've never experienced...

Well I ran it down to 5 bars using the heater on Max. Only took about 3 hours. Now I can experiment driving it around a little, flooring it and seeing where the turtle begins to appear I also ordered an MX OBDLink from Amazon, so maybe by Tuesday Canion can tell me more about the pack I'm...

I have a 10 page CarFax on it - Actually, it's been pretty regularly driven most of it's life. It was an unsold car that went to lease, It did sit on the car lot from March of 2012 until March of 2013, when it went to lease for 2 years. Auctioned in April of 2015 with 15K on it. 2 owners...

It recharged to a full 16 bars and an RR of 60 - Much better than the 40 on the previous charge, but not where it should be after a careful 40 mile trip at a leisurely 40 to 45 mph Now . . . . how to get it discharged again without driving it?? - I don't have it registered or insured yet...

Only fully recharged it once so far. It not only went to 16, but I went 6 or 7 miles before it dropped to 15 and I was patting myself on the back at that point - Good battery! . . . . or so I was beginning to think It's recharging now and we'll see what the next RR is and go from there...

Thanks Kiev! - I was hoping I'd hear from you :D I guess I need to take another stab at Canion. 2 or 3 years ago, I loaded it on my Android tablet, bought the recommended dongle, but could never get it to work on either of my cars. Don't recall now my exact symptoms, but I think the car...

Well, it's not hot - In fact, after a 40 mile drive on an 80 degree day, everything under the back cover is as cool as a cucumber . . . . much cooler than I would have expected in a normally operating car. The motor and transmission were barely warm to the touch. The coolant reservoirs in...

I have no idea, but hopefully you guys can maybe tell me what to look at We bought a third car, a 2012 SE Premium with 27,000 miles on it. Had about 1/4 charge when I drove it off the car lot to the house. Full recharge netted an RR of only 40, which gave me a bit of pause. Aired up the...

We just bought a third one - A 2012 SE Premium in Raspberry which had sat unsold on a dealers lot for 3 months . . . . with gas here at $1.60 a gallon, they're not big sellers right now :? When we bought our SE brand new in May of 2012, the dealer had a purple one, but since it was a...

I *think* the only thing the computer really cares about is a ratio between the front tire circumference and the rear tire circumference. There should be a multitude of size combinations that it would accept without any problems Don

I haven't put a used tire on any car in at least 40 years - I hope you're reading the date codes on them and not using anything old, no matter how good they look. My motto, drilled into my kids and grandkids heads is "Quality tires are cheaper than fenders" so don't scrimp at all where the...

As a former owner (20 years) of a first generation NA Miata, I can tell you with much certainty that there are not nearly as many 14" tires to choose from as there used to be - The number of cars that came with 14" tires is down by about 95%. Huge numbers of Miata owners over the years have...

Nope - But you can make it put out 12 amps. http://www.evseupgrade.com - In addition, it will also make it put out 12 amps on 240 volts, which is a HUGE increase from the stock 120 volt, 8 amp output. More than 12 amps isn't possible because the wires in the EVSE plug cord won't support...

I'd be up for preemptively replacing the fuse(s) if we can come up with a group buy on a suitable fuse. My fuses are probably less stressed than most as our cars have 30K and 35K on them and have almost never been charged 'full tilt' on L2 as I've set my EVSE's to a max of 12 amps and probably...

I've been running 45 psi in my Continentals ever since I put them on the car - Doesn't help the range any, so far as I can tell Don

I currently have 185/60R15's on the rear and 175/55R15's on the front and that Front to Rear ratio keeps the car's computer happy . . . . everything works. The tires are Continental 'Eco' Contacts, but I'm not sure what they mean exactly by 'Eco' because they for sure are nothing like true LRR...

If his car is a 2012 with it's original 12 volt battery, that's almost certainly going to be the cause of his intermittent problem - If it was anything else, I suspect the fault would be permanent and not intermittent Don

It will be interesting to see what tires sizes you end up going with , front and rear, so that ASC and regenerative braking aren't adversely affected. Hint . . . . you don't need tires the same exact circumference as the OEM sizes, but you do have to carefully maintain the difference between...
