Is this battery pre-heating or cabin pre-heating ?

Sounds like a very worrying problem. No menthion of this within the UK yet. Doesn't mean its not an issue though.

Ah what a shame you had to sell it. Good luck with whatever you get next.

Just lock it like normal people :D

Had the car since October and its mostly been cold. I do Normal mode Local roads - one pedal drive and energy saving on - gives me 3 to 3.6. If its cold and a short journey we get 2 to 3... I think heating the car up on a short journey is a killer. Motorway doing steady 70 mph - one pedal...

2500 miles in and we have the squealing when reverse breaking. As others have said it just seems to be a bit of surface rust.

I went for this one because I also wanted to cover off my Skoda Kodiaq 2L. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09CZ96Q2C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Good battery management habits isn't a bad idea though. If you are sat in the car for extended periods of car and not moving e.g. waiting in a car park etc. Hit the brake pedal to put the car in READY mode. This make sure the car is awake and drawing power from the main battery and not the 12V.

I am just wondering what all this is telling you or doing which isn't currently being done by the app ? Whats the killer benefit ?

Just more evidence on how it actually works. I need 10% tonight which is just under two hours charging. Plugged in and ev energy has scheduled exactly two hours charging. It can only do this if it had all the relevant data points. Hopefully this helps people understand how it works.

You too 😀

Forgive me you are right and now I look stupid 😀 I have always had android device and totally misunderstood a Google search I did earlier 😆 it's Christmas eve and I may have had too much egg nog already Yeah I feel you here. There is a push to put AI into everything.

Well your first problem is there is no such thing as IOS26 :) 60% of my daily work is now being done by AI and I have put off hiring the two extra developers I had penciled in for 2026 thanks to it. So you might not like AI but it is making jobs easier and making people more productive. We...

I lead a team of developers. That's my bread and butter. I take a very different view point. I think over the air updates are the thing that is going to make huge changes to the motor industry. Traditionally having to go back to the dealer to get software updates is expensive and time...
