Re: some EV additional options are just gimmicks, right?

More than 200 miles of range. Firstly because I do more than 200 miles in a day maybe 3 or 4 times a year, and secondly because on a long journey you need to stop for at least half an hour every 200 miles anyway.

Re: Hello from the Midlands

Welcome! The anxiety passes and (assuming you have home charging) gets replaced with a realisation that it's even easier than owning a fossil fueled car.

A manual would be nice, agreed. After nearly 18 months I still have no idea what "vehicle dynamics" means 😆

Re: Maximum DC charging capacity

I've had 120kW twice with mine. Once was on about 30% charge in the middle of a longer trip with time to precondition, the second time was on 7% after only about 10 minutes driving. It did fall quickly back to around 100kW both times, but that second time I was at 80% in the time it took to buy and ...

Re: Horn makes a short peep when unlocking sometimes

I've noticed that recently but it didn't happen when the car was newer. Maybe try the other key for a bit of it has been used less?

Re: My Renault App - No data showing

Similar here. Hopefully they're in the process of fixing the awful connectivity, but I'm not holding my breath.

Re: Driving in ice and snow

Yep, it did it again on the same hill yesterday but this time I noticed the ABS activate on an icy patch near the top of the hill. Tap on the accelerator reactivated regen and the road was fine the rest of the way down.

Re: Driving in ice and snow

Saw some interesting behaviour from my Mégane today driving down a fairly steep (about 10%) hill in snowy conditions. Normally I get a good regen percentage down there adding a few miles onto the range (the ones that came off going up) but today the power meter stuck at zero all the way down. My gue...

Re: Preconditioning via app

No they put it back to January 17th. Seems to have been more reliable with the app recently though.

Re: Replacement tyres

That is a decent price. I lost a tyre to a pothole after only 4,000 miles and it was over £200 to replace.
