I drove an i3 rex, first generation. The gas motorcycle engine loved breaking down, due to disuse. Such an unreliable offence of crap. According to the dealership mechanic, the engine was packaged in a way that made the fluids collect in places they shouldn't.

I have driven the entire east coast on mine. I have put 60k miles in mine. All trouble free. Best car I have ever owned. If I have time on a trip I charge up and if I don’t I just use gas. That mechanic was pulling your leg.

First generation? According to Wikipedia and the few websites I could find, in American models, the rex had a different control setup that was simpler then here in Germany.

And I was driving the 2013. So I rest my case.

I rest my case as well. You should have kept your case to first generation.

Is this malicious? It's right there, first sentence "I drove an i3 rex, first generation"

Not malicious. I think you edited your comment after I commented. You mentioned driving an i3, could have been a friends or a test drive, and a mechanics opinion. The opinion did’t match my experience. I commented on my experience which was overwhelmingly positive with no mechanical Issue ever. From my perspective the thread was complete at that point and there was no need for further comment. Anything beyond that was both of our faults and just being argumentative.
