I got an appointment for the i8 today. The car has been wonderful but the electronics causes all kinds of strange problems. There was the saga I wrote about of the charger plug that wouldn't come out until the car was lifted to be towed. That led to a two week shop visit that included changing some controller embedded in front of the batteries. (That was on the charger that came with the car. I also got a new charger but I've been afraid to use it. I use the wall model.)

At some point the car will exceed 30 days in the shop. And with very low mileage ( 8400). And if that happens, I'm going to lemon it.
