Hi Rachel,
Unfortunately, due to the battery reconditioning, they will begin on April 2. We
tried to place the reconditioning in a spot that would disrupt the fewest number
of proposals. That turned out to be March 30 to the first few hours of April 2.
As I understand the schedule for that week, your search visits are to start
right after the battery reconditioning finishes.
