I'm about to take my 2015 Rex on a 2600-mile trip. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks! 
Of course, I've had the Rex recoded to hold its full potential, as well as coding to enable "hold state of charge."

Did you make it?
How did it go?

I never thought I'd own an electric vehicle, but I have been doing BMWs (high-performance 2- and 4-wheeled versions) for 40+ years and this package really appealed to me; so my dealer got me the first one in the Albany area.  And I am still waiting for an i5!
The above might as well be my signature - 2 years ago I would have bet money against me owning an EV any time soon.
Then I blew the engine in my MINI Cooper S ( Peugeot POS), and stumbled into an i3 test drive while shopping for a replacement.

It's been a fun year with an i3, but BMW, if you are reading - speed up the i5.
Else, Tesla 3 will steal your spot in my garage!

I just finished up another 550 mile trip. Rex ran great. Kicked in at 75%…. Arrived with about 16% charge.   I'll up date with actual gas mpg soon as I need to tally the totals.
