Re: Had my Megane Electric for one week now. - all good.

Looks like most people are getting a similar range. I'll have a look at the climate control and other settings as suggested, which will hopefully help and perhaps I just need to be patient and see what happens as the weather improves.

Re: Had my Megane Electric for one week now. - all good.

I am really struggling for range which has, at best, averaged 163 since I’ve had the car. The actual figure is almost certainly lower as there was a fair bit of delivery mileage on the car before it’s first charge and I don’t know how much of the total mileage was therefore done before the dealer ch...

Re: Phone wireless charge pad size?

Hi Paul, Just measured the mat and I make it 162 mm x 85 mm at the narrowest points (give or take a mm!). Not sure if the thickness of some 'phones might steal a mm or two from the width as possibly the shape of the upward edge at the back may mean it wouldn't be possible to use every mm and still l...

Re: UK order tracking

Thanks MonteCol, yes, I was using an iPhone so that could be the problem. Will try setting the card up on an android one at some stage. My rate of consumption was clearly better today (first time I've been more than a couple of miles in above zero temperatures) as I did about 14 miles and ended up w...

Re: UK order tracking

I'm getting a range of between 160 and 180 but I think this is down to the cold snap and the car therefore using charge to heat the batteries and the car interior. I've read/seen a good number of reviews of the car where they have achieved about the stated range so I'm not expecting a long term issu...

Re: UK order tracking

Thanks MonteCol, I've since noticed a few other car models in similar colours to the Ceramic Grey (e.g. Ford Puma) and wondered the same. I'm more than happy with the Shadow Grey and as you say, may have had a lucky break! It was hard to judge the colours at the test drive as all the cars there had ...

Re: UK order tracking

Have just seen the comment from MonteCol on the false boot floor. The floor raises the whole floor by about 15 cm (at a guess, haven't measured it). It's split into one section at the rear of the car (for the cable) and two at the rear of the boot. The section which comes with the car as standard fo...

Re: UK order tracking

Re: UK order tracking

Mine has arrived at the dealership. Should be picking it up on Monday (I've ordered the false boot floor from the accessories range, which is coming on Monday, so just waiting on that). Lesson learned re. tracking my order (probably would have saved me a lot of stress if I'd never looked at it!). Wi...

Re: UK order tracking

Just been told my car is in the country and I should get it before Christmas! Tracker still shows it awaiting transport from the factory. I guess this shows again that the tracker can't be trusted but also shows it can be showing the cars well behind where they actually are! Hoping I'll soon be post...
