Be great to get 10 years half a million miles but I should also be realistic about potentially upgrading when the 6 year loan is paid in sept 2026 (300k miles)

Love my Y it changed my 3.5 hour commute into something manageable. I drive from south NJ to NYC midtown M-F 4am to noon shift. 190 miles or so a day depending on road closures/errands. Tires every 60-70k AC compressor heat pump service Holding up well. I do have to charge upwards of 100...

Interesting question, I have MY 2020 with 165,000 mile on it, I'm hoping the battery holds up well into 300k by the time the car is paid off but perhaps will need to replace battery in 3 to 5 years. MY battery is the slightly smaller 74kwh pack vs the close to 79kwh the new Y ship with, I...

Got home with 19 miles yesterday decided to let it sit there for two hour before charging. When starting the charge it indicated 10 miles. It added 128 miles to end at 138 miles or 50% This makes me think the BmS made some adjustments to what it considers 10 or 19 miles while sitting there at...

great points, I do usually have sentry on but now that i dont have the energy to spare I'm going to stop using it. that should help it sleep a little more. as for the charging at home, the car generally charges from 2pm to 10pm 10-90%, then when i wakeup at 2am it gets an extra 5-7% if needed...

Great question, on the average day I depart 220am get to work by 4AM, work till about 1145am, driving home Noon to 2PM, and plugging in before I grab my bag and head inside, once a month i will wait to plug in to give the battery a chance to sit at a low percent. and on the weekends I only...

following up, hoping for some more responses, i did read through the entirety of the thread and did find some interesting insights... I'm willing to stop and charge, its certainly cheaper to get home and charge but now if estimated arrival is less than 12 miles or 4% ive agreed with the wife to...

Thank you

It ran out at 3% and car estimates to get home with 2%

On my way home today I ran out of power had a bad spot about 2.3 miles from home. I had 7 miles left according to the screen but was losing the ability to accelerate and then had a vehicle shutting down screen… it was 55° out slightly cool but not the freezing temperatures that caused this...

Several climate control issues have popped up over the last year (climate unavailable and vcfront447?) but recently with summer approaching and a Florida trip next month I decided to get the heat pump serviced… The car has 141,000 miles on it and it is very much out of warranty. They...

lifetime 288 watt hours per mile 40,276 total kWh. Two sets of replacement tires snippet of that story below and link. New tires must have 12,400 miles on them now… Whelp I definitely should have swapped these tires out sooner but by the time I could get the 3rd set of tires installed, the...

Lol no thought about starting one but it’s a bit late now, haha

Agree they quoted 600 which I suppose would be fair if that’s all it needs and can be repaired same day

What a great car. It may only charge to 286 instead of 316 and it may have a dent/scratch here or there but other than that it still feels like a new car and a treat to spend 3.5-4 hours in each workday. I did have the front control arms serviced Tires air filters both twice. Need to replace...
