Takes awhile! Lol. But when I tried there was 4 inches of snow.
Takes awhile! Lol. But when I tried there was 4 inches of snow.today i'm melting the snow off my windows by pre-conditioning the cabin. Just for fun
I have a 2019. My door locks are set up to only onlock the drivers door with one click of the electric unlock. Then hiding the electronic key 20' away behind my house water heater, I tried opening the trunk/hatch and couldn't. Then I got the electric key and gave it another unlock command. All the doors unlocked. And again hid the electronic key. I walked over to the hatch and the hatch opened using the rubber button on the hatch. I waited a minute then reached up and touched the rubber button on the hatch and it closed, no key nearby. I could not get the little buttons to lock the doors either.Just realized that if you open the trunk with the keyfob and the car is locked, then you can’t close the hatch unless you have a key. It will stay open unless you have the key on you or close it using the fob. The hatch button doesn’t work if you don’t have the keyfob with you.
The only reason I noticed was because I opened the I pace trunk while it was locked from the house. Then went outside without the keyfob, got what I needed and then realized I couldn’t close the door with the button. I don’t know if I could’ve manually forced it closed, but I bet that would’ve set off the alarm.I have a 2019.

Haha, I did take pics. That's the fun part, especially watching the hood snow slowly melt as well. Interesting how either the heat eventually transfers to the frunk and or how heat eventually comes from the frunk. It would take a sciencegeek to explain that oneI don’t remember how it did exactly! It was a not ago and I didn’t take a pic
But I thought maybe I could see two parts of the windshield where the interior defrost was particularly strong. So I remember thinking it didn’t do as bad as I expected.
Any updates? Interested if there was decrease in tire noise. Was the tire different as well?Today I am experimenting with downsizing the wheels to 18 inch from 20. I don't really care about how it looks, and want to see if there is less tire noise, and a little more mileage. Everything comes this week, and I'll get it installed and see.
I'm really happy with the downsize. I even like the look of the 18 inch wheels (although I understand most would disagree with me). The first change I noticed was less noise--driving home from the dealer, I kept noticing a new rattle I'd never heard before. It turned out to be my sunglasses in the glasses holder. The sound was previously covered up by more road noise from the 20 inch wheels. The ride is a notch softer too. This makes sense, as two more inches of rubber cushioning the ride is a lot. For tires, I bought a used set of Kuhmo tires, which I'm also very happy with. I had used that brand before on a MB and wasn't happy, but these were highly rated and have worked out great (and a bargain, I might add, for almost new tires). I have not driven the car on a road trip, so can't comment on increased range, although I'd expect maybe 3-5% better. All together, I'll be bummed when I have to put the 20 inch wheels back on next winter.Any updates? Interested if there was decrease in tire noise. Was the tire different as well?
Is it time for warranty replacement of the remaining OEM 12volt battery?This is what I did to my I-Pace today![]()
