Glad you’re enjoying it. I really wish Mitsubishi would’ve updated the drive system and kept these cars in production. I had mine at an event last year and folks kept asking if it was new. Blew their minds to hear it was 10 years old and discontinued. It just shows how timeless the design is...

Here’s a couple photos and a video that should give you an idea of the interior texture of the taillight. Did my best to navigate the camera around the dimples in the video. https://share.icloud.com/photos/055XpTJBZcYC6xLEUa7B6hCZA

It does not. The remote overrides the dial settings and provides three distinct pre-conditioning modes based on the mode you select. I personally run HEAT for about 5 minutes to pre-heat the liquid coolant loop used for the heater, and then switch to Defrost to heat the cabin much more...

The remote is tricky if you’re new to using it. You are correct that the remote completely ignores the dashboard climate controls. It will activate the heated seat if the switch is turned on under the steering wheel (both front seats and their switches next to the door and on the lower center...

Sounds like a couple different issues. Is the heat or A/C in the cabin on? You’ll want the temperature knob in the center (at the green dot) with the A/C button not lit. As long as these are set, the fan will only blow air, not condition it, and it shouldn’t affect range. As for the Turtle...

Unfortunately, I’m on the other coast from you, but here are pictures of installing mine. The only fit problem with the Torklift hitch is the mis-aligned hole on the rear sway bar structure. I ended up using a ratchet strap to line it up and pull the bolt through. On the passenger side, there...

Looks like there’s also two crashed silver 2012s, both with damage to the front right suspension. The SE Premium looks to be quite repairable (as long as they rolled up the driver window)...

For AC charging, it's J1772 with a different style plug. If you swap the I-MiEV's J1772 connector for NACS and plug a Supercharger into it, nothing will happen. The Supercharger signals the car to DC charge, which the I-MiEV won't understand and will likely error out. Teslas have contactors on...

Replacing the J1772 plug with NACS is very simple, but CHAdeMO is going to be quite the beast, given the lack of any CCS adapter ever being available. I believe Tesla just uses CCS as their base Supercharger protocol to handshake with the car and then switches to some proprietary communication...

Wasn’t he affiliated with TheFastLane at one point? Pretty sure that was my reason to never watch any of his videos. TFL did a real hit piece on the car and somehow managed to run out of charge driving across Washington DC. That said, I still love mine. Bear needed new wipers and a new 12 volt...

I still get a random pair of heavy clicks from under the dash when accelerating uphill from a stop sign. No idea what it is, but both cars have done it the entire time I’ve owned them. Not sure what all relays are under the dash on the driver’s side, but they might be worth a check. I’d also...

Congratulations! I almost traded my 2017 Bolt for an EUV during the battery conundrum, but then the new gen was added to the recall. Was going to go red color, sunroof, and Super Cruise, but ended up with the Tesla instead. I see a fair number of them on the road. Still have my Bolt and drive...

And it's sold. I tried to get one of these from my local dealer. Supposedly, it went back to corporate.

Well, the time has come to start downsizing the fleet. Koorz is up for sale. $6,995 in the Pittsburgh, PA region. New tires this year, new front brake pads in 2021, new wipers in 2020. 26,880 miles. See the PDF here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6w85q0oqvqx4sq/For%20Sale.pdf?dl=0 Does NOT...

Ceregarak, I think you mistakenly posted a reply as a report to Jray3's post. It was posted in Ukrainian, Bing's translation is below in quotes:

I can't imagine most anything would work properly at -40. Coldest I've experienced was -23 C (-10 F) and it took everything the I-MiEV heater had to keep the cabin bearable (and that was a few years ago when I was accustomed to cold weather). I would've suggested manually heating the pack but I...

I bet whoever purchased your car would appreciate that remote, unless it's a spare. In that case, how much?

It's a combination of quirky and underpowered components. The I-MiEV is a bit unique in that the heat and A/C won't work unless READY is lit on the dash or you activate them with the remote. High heat and high fan speed does produce heat, but at low outside temperatures, the 5 kW heater can't...

I only drove mine once in below 0 F temperatures, and it wasn't pleasant. Heater on Max and just barely staying warm. The car otherwise drove fine, though. I think the battery heater only ever kicked on once, but I don't know/remember for sure. To know if the heater is working, the CaniOn...

Consider this a PSA to lubricate the shifter linkage at the gearbox. (work in progress) If you notice that shifting is sloppy/stiff, this is a sign that the gearbox shifter linkage needs lubricated. If left untreated, it can lead to malfunctions when shifting, including: 1. Not able to shift...
