Coolant level is normal, no warning signs on the dash. No smoke coming from under the hood or anywhere else. Already taken to dealer and they stated it was normal? Fans running when ICE kicks up are extremely loud. Especially the rear right sided one.
210+ degree Coolant temp with extremely strong burnt rubber/plastic smell in cabin!!!
ICE engine kicks on and driving on freeway for 10 minutes when strong smell of burnt plastic and or rubber permeates cabin. Overwhelmingly unpleasant for the duration of the drive. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this for a prolonged period of time. Vehicle history is over 1000 miles and has happened everytime ICE engine kicks on and driving over 60mph. Highly unusual.

Wow, 70% of 16000 also in EV only? That's amazing either way. What (if any) problems have you come across through 16,000 miles if I may ask? Any issues with battery, coolant, etc? Have you even had to do your first oil change?with 1500 miles on the clock, odds are a good portion of those are EV miles, so basically the engine is still brand spanking new with all the coatings/lubricants/etc.
I had the same burning rubber smell too when I would pull into my garage if I happened to be on ICE power coming home, I do about 70% of all my miles in EV though. Either way, you don't really have anything to worry about, mine did the same thing and was fine after a while.
heh my 2017 is already about to hit 16,000 miles
