    Oh neat, duel exhaust fans with what looks to be the intake plumbed from the outside. I bet charging temps won't get much above ambient temps with that set up. Good to know.

    Did you happen to see a part number on the case? I'm curious what chemistry the cells are.

    From the 2 days that i drove around town, you can really notice many noises, clicks and odd sounds that is normally absorbed by the interior parts.

    Freeway driving was unique, because you can hear the gravel being knocked around from under the car.

    As of today, all interior parts are back on and there is such a night and day difference!

    That sounds un-bear-able.

    The fans suck air from the back seat vents and blow it out that black rubber tube in the back, yes?
    I can't feel which way the air is moving when putting my hand near either of the vents.

    Any help on removing the rear seat squab (the bit you sit on) I just can't see how to do it at all.

    Isn't the lift back battery under the back seat? So why doesn't the PIP use this space?
