    SD Card Map Update?

    Anyone tried upgrading the navigation by ordering that expensive SD card? It saddens me when I realized that my 2016 Soul EV still comes with the old 7.x version. Seems like not only map, but it also comes with some minor OS updates here and there? Out of curiosity, does that SD card have...

    nice, thanks. Illuminated Aux/USB port... hmm, never noticed. I've always found that's the ugliest part of the car. It looks so unfinished with all those ports left open.

    Active Eco System button lowers torque by 20%

    I don't feel like regen is stronger after spending more time in B mode with Eco mode ON (and OFF). Maybe it's the wording of that quote? Eco mode reduces torque while B mode has stronger regen?

    A magnetic braking primer: BMW i3 versus Tesla 70D

    17" vs 18" wheels/rims on the 2016 Soul EV

    If you pick a larger rim with thinner profile tire and keep the overall dimension the same, then the odometer / speedometer will be the same. The only range different would then be caused by the weight diff of the rim+tire and tires' roll resistance. No one can tell you by how much, so I think...
