    Is my heating power consumption correct?

    Maybe, ~10% is a lot less than I expected but could be correct. My enegry consumption has increased from ~4mile/kWh to 3 mile/kWh though in the winter, I was expecting most of that would be due to cabin heating but I guess it's something else (cold batteries?)

    Is my heating power consumption correct?

    Thanks for the replies, the question is if the display is correct, I'm surprised how little (Or no) energy) the cabin heating uses in the UK winter, according to the display at least.

    Is my heating power consumption correct?

    I seem to use less that 1kwh heating for 7kw driving in the winter, does that seem correct this diaply i think can only show 1kwh blocks so all I know is the heating ls 1kwh or less? - I'm getting 3 to 3.5 mile/kw driving steady so there's a 0.5 to 1kwh increase in use over th summer but maybe...

    Android Auto Not Dimming Screen at Night

    This seems to have stopped working, is there any way to get it working again? The screen is distractingly bright at night. Is there a way to manually dim the android auto screen if we cannot get this working, or switch the screen off?

    How to easily enable one-pedal driving?

    Is there a way to do this? It does not stay active when selected - switches off for the next drive cycle. I tried selecting regeneration or driving mode on the steering wheel star button but they do not seem able to enable one pedal driving.

    How is Range Calculated?

    Obviously it uses your driving efficiency but when from? Is it possible to start a new trip and reset the estimate if the driving efficiency will be a lot different e.g. motorway instead of city, or using a trailer?
