    Day 1 of my regular commute after the fuse recall work was done.

    Car performs the same. Full EV all the way to work (with a few down hill grades to help out. On the way home, up those hills, the ICE ran a little as usual.

    I’ll run the rest of my week and post results/experience.

    My 2014 with 35K miles was at 14.4 miles at full charge this morning. Temperature was about 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Pakistan has mid 80s to low 90's, so your 19.4K (12 miles) seems a bit low, especially at those temps. How many miles on your 2014?

    Kinda boring results ... After 5 days of my regular usage/commute, everything seems to be just like the fuse change out never happened.

    Business as usual.

    A fuse is just something that burns when it exceeds some power

    So obviously the car will perform EXACTLY like before, except in the rarest of cases when it might have burn the fuse, in which case it will not, now

    Just FYI: If any of you are left the recall without fix on your car, you may likely have an issue in registration/renewal like me. This recall MUST be done before DMV issues the online registration notice, if not, you would end up in getting this recall done ASAP and starve your bald head in the super hot sunlight under the sky in the DMV lines.

    Any east bay dealer recommendations? Was hoping to avoid this recall but just got the dreaded DMV no renewal demand.
