If you take the radio and swipe the whole screen left, you can cast it onto the Driver Information screen.

Be sure to install a Gentex mirror to get your homelink buttons, too.

Welcome

Be sure to install a Gentex mirror to get your homelink buttons, too.
Correct! In addition you get an overall larger mirror and auto dimming feature...

If you set up ebay alerts you can usually find used ones shipped for under $50, be sure it includes the pigtail or move on...

In the settings is a charging L1 option, defaults to 8amp, you may be able to switch to 12amps...

No real exciting hacks that i'm aware of. Definitely look into the voltshelf and voltscreen. Some people have added homelink either as a mirror or to the roof center console. You could always buy some 18" wheels and lower profile tires, then use the OEM rims for snow tires. I did that 2 years into ownership when my OEM tires needed replacing. Some people plastidip or vinyl wrap their grill, chrome, etc. I should be posting pics of my white diamond tricoat angeled out (as opposed to murdered out) in a few weeks. Tinted windows and a dash cam, and maybe some LED lights, but going to Led is probably not going to give you much additional ev range at all. Some people have lowered their volts, but I think it's low enough already, scraping its front air dam on everything known to man.

There are other hacks that would be just plain stupid on an EV, like 3 inch pipe and a fart can, messing with the ice tuning, adding fuzzy dice. Even messing with the audio system seems silly since so much of the infotainment system is integrated into the car. My hack in the audio arena on a gen1 was to use a cd mount for my smartphone. Many have wanted power seats and a sunroof, but I have yet to see anyone post anything on a gen 2.

The provided Gen 2 EVSE (charge cord) can operate at 240v. So If you have a 240v receptical nearby, a great hack is to make a simple plug adapter for it. If you are uncomfortable with making your own adapter, forum member Chris TX sells them through his etsy page.
