    Speed Limited to 20 MPH Warning Message -- on the highway!

    Yup, that is exactly what I am going to do. The car is going back to Carvana today, and because it is not really safe to drive they are dispatching Roadside Assistance to pick it up and take it to their closest Carvana hub (even though I am outside the normal delivery/pickup range, so kudos to...

    No, I did not see (what I presume to be) your long original thread about YOUR tale of woe. I should find that and absorb. I am at a crossroads... the path of least resistance is to simply have Carvana take the car back and be done with it. Or, since we have grown quite fond of the little...

    Speed Limited to 20 MPH Warning Message -- on the highway!

    My first post here, as a brand new Spark EV owner. So here's the deal, I purchased last week a 2015 Spark EV with 28k miles on it from Carvana (a national car vendor not unlike CarMax). My closest pick-up location was Philly, about 100 miles from my home here in Coastal Delaware. On the way...
