It appears that my warranty battery swap for the 2016 Soul EV (and likely the 4 others they did in Richmond Hill, Ontario that day) are of the original ~27Kwh battery variety. I've only seen about 125 - 150km of range per charge. And the service rep mentioned that the battery packs were made in...

Not only that but how did you "request" or opt for a bigger battery in the Soul? Which model year do you have? I just completed a warranty battery swap on a 2016 Soul EV and it appears to be the standard 125km - 150km battery.

Happy to post an update. Received a call from the dealer Wednesday that 4 batteries had "dropped" but they are under the gun to get them all replaced in 5 days, and ship the old ones back. They were nice enough to come down and get my car Thursday to work on it Friday. I picked it up Saturday...

I'm getting my 2016 Soul EV battery replaced under warranty in Richmond Hill, Ontario I was first told in the end of November'22 that it was covered. A couple of weeks later told to come in for replacement. Dropped it off in the morning, called at about 2pm that day with an apology. The part is...

It's been a while and been meaning to report in on my ex-Teo purchase. The car makes me smile almost every day. It completely lives up to my expectations. Also my first Android auto experience - so nice, SiriusXM a plus. My habit until the first snowfall was to charge it Friday nights. Did...

Thanks so much for the search. I too am chalking it up to a software glitch. Like a BMS debug mode. May not be a glitch, but a feature! Just have to figure out what it means.

Thanks. The software engineer in me tells me that it's not failing but an indication of something. Perhaps a post to the technical thread might enlighten me. I think it only happened during acceleration, specifically when using enough juice to go from "Eco" to "Power" on the energy usage...

Interesting. I thought these were generic fobs and the truck release simply didn't do anything as it wasn't a power lift gate. I'm going to check that out. An observation: when driving this past weekend on an almost full charge, I noticed the lower portion the the battery charge meter, I think...

Trying it right now. Happy to share my data if it works. Update: connected successfully. Am getting data. Keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and the previous version does not do that.

So I was emboldened to pop off the housing around the shifter. Was not too hard to pop off the shifter knob in neutral, and pull the console out and up. Disconnecting one of two harnesses front under the console helped move it almost all the way out of the way so I could take a look. Unless I...

Yes, I noticed on the drive home that the part of the plastic assembly that includes the gear shift, about half the console closest to the front of the car, was secured so poorly that I dislodged it with little more than a fingernail and some pressure. So I'm going to check tonight. Since I...

Wow, that's amazing. I figured the electrical/low voltage guy my dealer used left a disconnected wiring harness or two, but to find a second fob....Jackpot! I wonder how many cabs are similarly modified. So, with the car in the off position, through the gear into neutral and pop off both the...

So the bars were removed and holes plugged and siliconed by a contractor of the dealer I bought at. They did so before it got to their lot for sale. The owner inferred that he paid about $400 and received a 2 year warranty. Hi did it on one or two Teo Leafs as well. He noted that getting...

Hi FueledUpRooster A couple of notes: 1) If it's the same tires as I saw on a few models in Toronto, those are not crappy winter tires, but upgraded all weather tires (Think snow tires you're allowed to use all year round). I'll leave it to others who know more about which tires are actually...

Quick installation question: 1) Should I pop out the SD card for Navigation from the top of the infotainment system and copy the update folder to the root? or 2) Can I load the same folder onto a USB key and pop it in the front USB instead? I haven't checked yet but is there enough room on...
