Coming from a Tesla Model 3…should I get a lightly used i8 as a daily driver? I’ve always been a BMW guy, this will be my 5th if I pull the trigger. I drive A LOT, and put 40k miles on the Tesla in a year and a half, just getting bored of it. Would going to an i8 be worth it? Just want to hear some opinions and feedback

    I’m ballparking, but yes, with labor. It’s only like 2.5hrs + A/C charge. I think the compressor is around $1000ish without the core. You’re “supposed” to also swap out the drier, and perform the retrofit coding, however I never did either of those to my own car and it worked fine for years. I’d probably factor in another $2k (parts/labor) if you do it the “right” way.

      Is there a way to know if there’s shrapnel in the system prior to buying the car?
