    Loud noise when using Go Times or AirCon while plugged in

    I wish that was true, and it was that simple. I can hear the pump, and this is separate. Luckily(?), it's evolved into screaming every time the AirCon is on, regardless of any other factors. So, that should be an easy fix. I was fearing a lengthly "groping in the dark" diagnosis at the...

    Loud noise when using Go Times or AirCon while plugged in

    Right right. The first thunk noise is the WattStation. It's the following racquet that's disconcerting.

    Loud noise when using Go Times or AirCon while plugged in

    Has anyone come across a noise ranging from loud to VERY loud when using Go Times or Accessory mode with the Air Conditioning on (while connected to AC power)? It's hard to describe sounds, but I'll go with a "rapid-knocking" of varying speeds. I've noticed what sounds like a very fast knocking...

    Inconsistent audio on restarting

    For reference: Zombie audio. It's dead, but also alive, but not really.

    Inconsistent audio on restarting

    +1 If I leave the radio on when I stop, it never plays without intervention when I start off again If I turn the radio off when I stop, turning it back on results in normal behavior If it's left on when I stop, when I'm off the center display will show the station frequency with no HD Radio...

    After SSN are others having missed starts?

    Just wanted to "+1" on the intermittent miss of having the RTD light illuminate. As others have suggested, I'll be more deliberate with my actions and see if it's more consistent. :)

    Volta, Hawaii and where can I rent an electric?

    Interestingly, fuel was cheaper around Oahu than around Sacramento. Oh well, doesn't really affect me anymore. :D

    Volta, Hawaii and where can I rent an electric?

    I was on Ohau for 10 days roughly a month ago. I only saw one functional EVSE. Every other one I encountered had semi-permanant Out of Order label across it. I stumbled across a couple that weren't in PlugShare or Recargo (so I added them). As far as renting, I only know of Enterprise. They had...

    Can't update "driving lifestyles" at syncmyride.com

    +1 It's been the same for me since purchase in late November.

    Wifi in car

    I was playing with the networking features the other day myself. Was able to easily connect to my WPA2-AES network. As has been stated, the car acts as another NAT/DHCP service to effectively create it's own small WEP/WPA2 encrypted network. Like jmueller065 said, the idea is to create a wifi...

    Headlamp LED "eyebrows" suddenly flickering?

    Just a +1 I noticed this the other day as well. My car is 6-days old. In my situation it was after I parked in my garage (roughly 45°F) after coming home from work. Car was "off" I toggled the lights off and back on, and haven't seen the flickering since.

    Be careful where you plug in!

    //devil's advocate You're driving to the school and you're hungry, so you walk around the school until you find someone's lunch. You grab it and eat it. This is an example of what didn't happen. Opinion follows: Gasoline, like someone's lunch, is a tangible item that isn't instantly and...

    Walk away door locks

    If one was unsure of lock status, and brought up the app... why not just hit "lock" while you're there? I've only had mine two days, but as I understand it, it appears Ford has empowered the owner with many tools not commonly available. Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't one lock the doors by...

    New Lease deals...

    Thanks, and I agree. I totally understand businesses need to make money. This guy was trying to jerk us around all evening. Unfortunately the guy I talked to first, who was very straightforward, had clients backed up and didn't have the time. But, at the end of the day, I'm happy, they're happy...

    New Lease deals...

    Thanks for the quick and awesome responses!! I'm finishing up the deal right now. Will share the details when I'm home and able to sit still for a second. I think it turned out alright. EDIT: Thanks again John and Michael (as well as the others in the thread with their experience) Okay, here's...

    New Lease deals...

    Hello. Long time Fit EV waitlister. Started looking at the FFE recently (thought it was way more expensive than the FEV). Looking at these amazing lease numbers you guys are posting, and Ford's main site (showing $251/36 with $900 due at signing), it looks like I was way off. Nissan was quoting...

    Attitudes of owners of various EVs per their forums

    I think I'm probably going to ramble way off topic. Sorry, OP! The Fit looks good to me, though I've only even seen two in person. Maybe it's a bit low-tech on the instruments, but I still respect it for being versatile (even if it lost it's Magic Seats®). Even the Leaf looks good to me, but...

    Attitudes of owners of various EVs per their forums

    Honda Fit EV waitlister here (since May 31, 2013). I concur with these findings. Guess that's why I've started looking into the FFE. :D
