Hi Folks, The dreaded Maintenance Charge reminder came on at about 12,500 miles. Cripey! This will be the fourth time I've taken it in for this service. Grrr....
I've been awaiting my 3rd service to announce itself. The warning came on at around 4,000 and around 8,000 miles. I'm now at almost 13,500. I think Nick's...
Since I had my 4th maintenance charge at about 12,500 miles (I'm at 13.5K miles now, too), there might be something to this partial charge scheme. Since it's...
Hi Th!nk gang, My little Think has a new crack in the roof just starting above the drivers side beginning about half inch from windshield and traveling about 3...
I think in the manual it says you get about 300 miles after the maintenance light comes on before the car starts protecting itself by not charging fully. I...
Danny, I emailed your question to a guy who works at Think Nordic. He suggested that you bring your Think City to the dealership for inspection. Then they can...
My Th!nk City roof is cracking too. It looks like the roof is fiberglass, and the crack is about 3 inches long, starting at the windshield about a foot from...
Any progress on this tax snafu? I just got my dmv renewal -- $466 ... which is way too much. Has anyone gotten the taxes adjusted? Tamar, red think city,...
Hi Th!nk crew. On 11/08/2004 I went to the SF GreenFestival with the Th!nk City. What a hell of a good time it was at the San Francisco GreenFestival. Being...
I am in process on getting this rectified. DMV Donna at S&C should be able to help somewhat, but I'd suggest you call Andrew Conway at (916) 657-7884, or...
Hey all... I am terminating my lease four months early due to the fact that I am moving and my commute and driving needs dont coincide with the think's range...
Will Ford allow you to transfer the lease? ... From: "Archie Roboostoff" <arch_dog@...> To: <think_ev@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003...
S&C Ford will allow another to take up the lease, but it's only got til August. You should intervene before the car goes back if you or someone else wants it....
I didn't even think to possibly transfer it to another person. Sorry about that...it would've only been until April since that's when the lease is up anyways....
no - I tried it a few months ago, and it is clear they want to get them off the road it cost me an extra 2 months in lease payments while I tried to work it...

British company Zytek had their Smart EV at EVS 20 and I got an opportunity to drive it yesterday. I was really impressed. Unfortunately they are only likely...

Th!nk City will not be sent to the crusher at the end of the lease period. Remember the car was designed to be recycled. The cars will be returned to Norway...
Tom, How do you know? Who will be selling the cars? Ford? I've heard rumor of a bid put out to "recycle" Th!nks here in the US. As a Toyota rep told me, the...
With the City Bee they had to return the vehicles to Norway and then the vehicles had to be destroyed. I remember Clair Bell posting about it, she worked for...
The work on these cars will be done at Ford dealerships. Ford has promised service and spare parts for Th!nk City for 10 years. However I don't know if these...
