Dead thread, I know, but did anyone ever figure this out, by chance? I've had my Spark EV for nearly 3 years now, and the Sport button just stopped working this week out of the blue. No software or hardware changes, nothing else out of the ordinary. No CEL or trouble codes. The sport button...

Sad to hear you are getting rid of Micky, but I might have some co-workers that might be interested. They can't get over how awesome my SpakeE is. I'll refer them to your ad listing! -Jeff W. (in Lehi) I also have a Model 3 reservation. Looking to replace my fiancee's ICE car.

sTeeve, how did it turn out? Is the camera angled too low? Do you have any pictures of it working?

Mine is a '14. My "try harder" was in reference to the end of the run. Everyone who was saying things like "You couldn't possibly make that 90 degree corner at that speed" had me doubting myself. The attempt 2 skids were not as long because I let off early and braked early. I could have stayed...

Here ya go: https://youtu.be/vg6mg9K1k9k All you people doubting me kinda shook my confidence. In this video I let off early and braked early, so the skids are not quite as long as the first one. Still definitely proves the concept. Be sure to watch in hi-def. Here is a picture from attempt 2...

I have edited the original post, you should now see images. And unfortunately, it is now pouring rain. I'll try again tomorrow.

The Jeep is my co-worker's, and I assured him ahead of time it would be OK where it was at. I can ask him to move it for the follow up, or repark it in the same space. A bit of background, I come from the world of high performance cars. I used to race in several performance driving circuits...

Also, regardless of the outcome... Here is some more proof for the non-believers. I forgot I had taken a second picture from my office window. Here are the original photos, plus my horrendous MS paint job of showing my path. I realize that most people find it hard to believe I was able to...

I should be able to try again tomorrow / today (parking lot at work is empty on the weekends). Just a forewarning, however, I don't think much smoke was produced. I was obviously looking where I was going, not in my rear view or at my speedometer. That being said, I have been around muscle cars...

I have not tried to replicate this particular scenario (don't wanna kill the tires THAT fast!), but I will give it a try this weekend.

I find it hilarious that this is so hard to believe! The car is not modified in any way, and I posted my settings earlier. No special preparation went into the making of these skids. There was no photoshop involved. There were 2 ~200 lb males in the car (driver and passenger). The front...

Traction control off, Stability control off, SPORT mode, Low "gear". No special prep. Stock Ecopias at 35 PSI, cold.

I am sorry if something went wrong with my link, but I am fairly certain I posted the correct content. The image linked above was meant to be: You are right, my SparkEV was not in the shot. I had rounded the corner and placed it back on the charger. I do not know what you mean by porn or...

Incredibly old thread, I know, but I recently purchased a Spark EV. Here is the result of me telling my friend that this car can do a decent burnout.

I don't have the know how to make graphs to grab data points as you have done in this thread (but I should probably look it up!). I am strictly basing this off of the fact that it was advertised at having an 82 mi range fully charged, where as my average range is only about 60 miles (70, driving...
