I still have some range anxiety when driving up to San Francisco is that I must be able to charge in order to get back. On a couple occasions plugshare showed availability of spots only to find them full (cars there not charging) when I arrived. fortunately I was able to find a space in a...

\ Yes, too bad. That would be perfect.

I am still looking for a real cargo cover - so people can't see what is in the back area (for security reasons) and it looks cleaner overall. Wonder why MItsubishi doesn't make such a cover? It should be standard for all hatchbacks.

Do you think this would work if I don't want to screw anything in to the dashboard (with the suction cup)? http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Mounting-Systems-RAP-B-166-2U-Composite/dp/B00361ETAM/ref=lh_ni_t_mi

I use the gps on my phone (much better than the built in GPS) so I want to see the screen.

I have been placing my phone on the ledge in front of the GPS/Radio unit. This works well until there is sudden movement and the phone could go flying. Has anybody found a good phone holder for the Miev? I do not want one that goes on the window. The location of the GPS unit is great with...

I got a call, but had to pass. And at least I haven't received an offer from my dealer lately offering discounted oil changes .... :D

No carpool lane stickers on the cars? I ordered stickers for my car (purchased at the beginning of the year) but have not decided whether to put them on as it is rare that I drive on a freeway with carpool lanes (mostly 280 north of palo alto) and it messes up the looks of the car.

Joe- Great post. I agree with all you said. I would add a few other things I like about the car: 1) It rides high, even for a small car. This was a major issue in me no buying the Mini Cooper; 2) Many places (including my work) offer free charging; and 2) The radio is quite good (though I...

Has anybody found a cargo cover for the Miev? It would help cover the items in the back of the car. Thanks. Jeff

Thanks. Though it has a 40GB hard drive so must be built to handle that much data? So do you know of a way to download music except for one CD at a time (40GB would be a lot of CDs).

Jenn - Congratulations. I was in the first handful. Maybe we should all meet in Mt. View and do a caravan. :-) I'm trying to decide if I should change driving up to San Francisco and back tomorrow. The batteries won't get me there and back on a single charge so would have to count on...

1. I loaded my full 24gb iTunes library on a USB stick but it takes a significant amount of time for the system to read and index the songs. Does anybody know if there is a way to copy these to the hard drive? 2. The system appears to play songs sequentially. Is there a way to play them...

Yes, thanks Mark (since my car can't make it round trip to the dealer anyway. :-)). Very detailed.

My dealer said that I had to apply for it myself. I went online to request the refund. It said that it could tie 30 days and that I could lose the mr electric fee?
