26000 mi

US $200
Replaced flat tire 
11179 mi They also replaced, under warranty, a missing screw holding down one of the fluid containers in the frunk. 
22000 mi The car said it was due for maintenance, so I brought it in. On the way down (dealer is 250 miles south of me), the i3 showed an error and would not unlock the fuel cover whenever I stopped. This meant I had to open the frunk and pull the manual release each time. I mentioned this when I dropped off the car and they found a bad sensor in the fuel tank so they replaced it. There were also several TSBs, so they made those fixes as well including updating the car's software.
