  1. Not yet. They are trying to wrap that into the next increase. Oh - and they are still trying to move the costs not covered by insurance for the 2007 Witch Creek fire to the customers vs stockholders
  2. Definitely on my Christmas list!! The HIDs as well as LED bulbs to replace the fogs.
  3. Oh I so need this. What was the cost of the grill alone? I'd love to get a carbon fiber wrap - but this looks pretty darn good!
  4. How does the beam pattern look? Did you have any issue with bulb warning lights or did they have to add a cambus defeat? Looking to have it done myself. What temp did you go with? I'd love to drop in 6000K and convert the fogs to a high power LED...
  5. How do you even get it to stay on? I know - RTFM... I have to remember to activate each time.
  6. Hey FF - try living in San Diego and getting raped by SDG&E! I'm now on their EVTOU-2 plan. Every day peak is noon to 6 pm and costs .29/kWh. Super off-peak is midnight to 5 am and costs .16/kWh. The remaining 13 hours are off-peak at .19 prior to this plan, I was paying .36 at my usual tier-4 prices. These are the newly increased rates as of September. Now they want to increase again!
  7. I ordered the following: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007I75D8W/ref=ox_ya_os_product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00877SL2M/ref=ox_ya_os_product First is for the backup lights, second for the license plate lights. These came in a package of 10 - I'll eventually use them in the front for the parking lights. Nice bright white.
  8. The other exception is when you are near home and the EV+ mode engages. Let's you dip into the reserve.
  9. That would be me in San Diego, Under the SDG&E tiered program in San Diego, I was paying $0.37 per kWh in tier 4. Not worth it. However, owning an EV allowed me to switch the house over to the EV-TOU2 rate. Between midnight and 5:00 am I now pay $0.16. Moving the pool pump to that time also helped. I now pay less in electricity with the EV charging nightly than I payed without it and the original tiered billing. Even on-peak (noon - 6:00 pm), my max is $0.29. All other times are at $0.19. I think there is a gallery photo of mine that showed the tier levels...
  10. Fellow Californians, Here in San Diego, the EV-TOU2 really saved me. With the tiered normal plan, most of my electricity was at $0.37/kWh (tier 4). Now, with time of day, I charge my car at 0.16 (and run the pool filter at that time as well). Even at peak, it is $0.29 - still less than the tier 4 rate. Also, SDG&E claims that it will bill you both ways for the first three months (not that I saw this - but my bill was considerably lower with the new plan).
  11. Yikes! FF - you are NOT having a lot of luck out of the gate. Hopefully all of your initial bugs get squashed quickly.
  12. I'd say P1050364. When I first looked - I saw only the two that were in your post which, on an iPhone, looked pretty close. I tried to make mine as low as possible... I really came close to not putting them on.
  13. I sort of like mine better (see above). Makes your car look very "Christmassy"! :-)
  14. Solved! Finished at 2:04 but with the time change, was reported as 1:04. System was not slart enough to account for this when it reported total charging time.
  15. I've had 2 thoughts on the charger. First is to use a heavy duty extension core and then lock the charger to the car (haven't looked for a good lock point yet). the second is to crack the window open and, using an extension cord, keep the charger in the car and just have the cords run out. Neither are optimal...
  16. Question - how do you tell the amount used for the charge? I ask since after draining the battery yesterday, coming home in hybrid mode until going to EV+ mode, it took only 1 hour, 4 minutes to charge using my home L2 charger. Don't see how that is possible...
  17. Hmm... I make sure that recirc is off, and using the MFT climate screen select the defrost icon (the white box goes away) and select the fan speed (again, the white box that indicates auto goes away). Is this what you are trying? the fan on low uses hardly any power (nothing shows up in the climate graph)

  21. Ha - after last night's post, mine arrived today! So, without dealer intervention, it takes about 8 weeks to get the stickers. Boy are they green. Really green. Does not go that well with a black paint job...
  22. Well, after saying that I haven't received my stickers - they arrived today! Wow are they green! Oh - your pic didn't show. I have added photos to a gallery, and then use the "my media" option to display them in posts from the gallery. What % tint? I went with 30% in front with 20% on the other 7 windows.
  23. Filed on 9/11. Still haven't received it. Also still waiting on my HOV stickers. Hoping that they come soon, since I am considering taking a position in Orange County and the HOV lane will certainly help with the 60 mile one-way commute. In SD, all I had to do was say that I had an EV. The form says that SDG&E reserves the right to see the car, but they never did. I just got the fast charger about 2 weeks ago - it is great. The electrician just had to convert a circuit breaker to 240 - pretty trivial. The state gave me a free L2 charger - the dealer has to initiate it. You might want to ask your dealer about it (thru the Air Resource Board). Car charges in 2 hours.
