I sat in the car when I tested it, there is definitely warm air used for demisting with blowers a high speed, none of that @ ‘high’?

This seems to be a general ‘bug’ as ours does the same on ‘high’? I wouldn’t bother bringing it to the dealer, just use the windscreen demist setting instead…

Curious, how much of that is actually going into the battery (wall box vs iSmart value)?

The 13.8V is supplied by the DC/DC section of CCU and is not indicative of the 12V battery health. Starting the car with HV battery disconnected will ensure that all low voltage circuits are powered directly by the Aux battery. If its voltage drops quickly below 12V consider replacing it...

Yes, the CCU will charge the 12V battery every time the HV battery is connected (READY or charging). What voltage does it show when READY? You can try to do a HW reset, but most likely you’ll need to replace it. The quality of the stock 12V battery isn’t great, hence the reason it’s only...

You were just unlucky, take the refund and buy the same again.

Unfortunately that applies to a lot of things these days

Every item not listed specifically is covered by the 7 year warranty e.g, the complete HV section (battery motor, inverter, CCU etc). These are big tickets (££££) items to replace although unlikely to fail, is it worth the risk?

I assume you mean having the doors unlocked as the charging port itself always locks during a session?

Charging speed is the key, on a good day in summer the Rapid CCS charger will outperform your wall box by a factor 10 or more..

Your ‘home charger’ isn’t actually a charger but an EVSE. It just provides mains to the car’s internal charger (CCU) using simple analog technology. Rapid DC CCS charging relies on a sophisticated two way communication protocol where a lot more can go wrong…

Not bad, diagnosing a HV battery issue and replacing it used to take months..

Makes sense, given your initial post, looks like you had a ‘weak’ cell that activated ‘tortoise mode’. How long was the car in the garage?

Downhill from now until spring given past experience
