Re: Regen performance change

Booked car into Motorvoque to investigate the reduced regen to be told its a recent software update to protect the battery life.
No notice to owners just changed.
Very unhappy as we've seen range impacted by the loss of regen being used.

Re: Megan E-Tech Tencho -New over the air software update failed

Not seen the update yet but will check. Been having issues with the charger door flap. Sometimes it won't open even with the car unlocked so I have to lock and unlock the car again. Other times I see it open slightly when it was previously closed. I've got to book the car in for a problem with the r...

Where on the car is this?
You can buy strong spearmint sprays that are supposed to deter rodents.

Regen performance change

I'm used to the regen not operating when the car is at 100% charge. Makes sense nowhere to store the excess energy. But wife picked me up last night and complained the brakes were sharp. 50% charge showing. Noticed regen not nearly as effective so having to use brakes to slow. Could this be because ...

Re: Wing mirrors move slightly when reverse selected

Having read the manual it looks like the mirror position is linked to the seat position memory. As the UK model has a manual seat position I suspect this isn't implemented in the UK. So I don't think the UK version can do this correctly and what I'm seeing is a partial implementation.

Re: Wing mirrors move slightly when reverse selected

OK tried this and its not working correctly. I set both mirrors as needed. That's fine. I then select reverse. I click the drivers mirror selection button (orange LED comes on) I adjust as I want it. But when I press that selection button again the mirrors readjust back to the original position. If ...

Re: 1st service costs

It ended up being £160 ish plus VAT. We paid for the aircon clean out included in that.
Delighted to see 0% front and rear brake wear after 13,000 miles thanks to regen.

Re: Charge power with 4.5kw?

No problem just slower.
Do you have a 3 phase car to charge? If not then why not drop two of the phases and make it a single phase?

Re: Preconditioning cabin question

Why not leave the charger doing its cheap rate charge and using the car app to schedule the preconditioning to the schedule for when you leave.
It will mean the car is warming up after the charge has completed but it takes such a small amount to warm the car I wouldn't worry about it.
