Hi all, new owner here !

Picked up my crystal white i8 yesterday . Wow ! What a car ! I never test drove one either, just bought it, knowing it would be good....but not this good !!
Still fiddling about with settings etc, and looking at this forum, most people tend to plug them in each night ??
Am I correct to assume that just relying on sports mode alone will NEVER FULLY charge the batteries ??

Very nice. Congrats! It's a fantastic car. So different from anything pretty much everyone on here ever had.

Going on a road trip tomorrow. Zurich to Munich, and then it's Oktoberfest time!!!

Yes its certainly different to anything I had before. I cannot work out whether I like the tranquillity of E Drive, the smooth , silent ride in comfort, or the `synthasized sounds of the engine in sport mode ! Both are brilliant but in very different ways. The finish is sublime. Cannot fault the quality of the whole thing, it`s a masterpiece.

I also picked up and I8 on Friday what a fun car!

stevebgt1 · 09-26-2016, 10:01 AM

Is it just me ? Or is it worlds apart from anything else ? Compared to my previuos car ( Audi RS4) this thing feels so light, nimble, modern, superior in every way. I love it !

Congrats and welcome!

I'm not sure about other people, but yes, I plug in each night.

Sports mode will not charge the batteries above 75%.
