Not yet, but my local dealer happened to call me about 5 minutes ago. He seems to think he can get one of the two 2014's from ATL and still do nearly the same deal except an additional shipping charge. A friend of mine that works at a used lot says he ships cars back from ATL auctions for $200 all the time. I'm sure the dealer will try to inflate by a factor of 2 or 3, but I'm willing to give them a shot at making it happen. Even with the range extender a trip back from ATL seems extreme, we have family in Nashville so we could stay the night there coming back but stopping to charge every 2 hours or so (to charge for 3-5 hours depending on the charging station, fast chargers are not that common in small towns yet) would just take forever. Unlike the EU i3 REx, the US REx only comes on when you get low on charge. The EU model you can kick it on whenever you want to charge back up the battery, at some point you would still have to charge but theoretically doing this would extend your range as long as you kept the REx full of fuel. It just takes some coding to do, but I don't have a Windoze computer to code with and I've never coded before so I don't want to try that after driving it off the dealer lot.
I am probably going to go ahead and pull some funds to make the deal happen weather the ZHP sells to the potential owner or not. Its in an account with no fee's or penalties for pulling it out (Roth IRA) and the amount pulled out, I would be able to replace within the same calendar year and not max out with what I put in there monthly. Potential new owner texted me at 8:03 his time and he had already called the bank and got them going on it. He actually just texted me again as I am writing this and says it looks to be fully approved by tomorrow.
Sent my steering wheel off to Mike!!! Can't wait to recieve it back! But for now, I have to resort to my other car. I drove it today and it's amazing how different the quality of the two cars is. The ZHP is just amazing compared to my other car. Haha
So I threw the new tires on the car today. I bought Mickey Thompson Street Comps for it. Running 235/40 all the way around. 300 tread wear rating. The sidewalls are very stiff but the extra meat feel a LOT better than stock setup. I'll do a full review after I get a few hundred miles on them. I'll have to drive easy till then anyways. They still have a glaze on them so I'll have to let that wear off. If they hold up to their reputation then this should be some fun rubber.
