I think it’s both hardware and software. If I press an icon when travelling at 65 mph I expect it to work first time. Sadly the alternative of using voice control is very flaky too.

The interior refresh is interesting as it should improve the dreadful laggy infotainment screen. Such a pity though that if I want a workable screen I need to buy a new car. Why couldn’t they fix the old screen?

Fingers crossed it will happen but I am sceptical. Even if VAT is reduced it won’t take long for greedy charge point operators to put prices up again

Will the UK version run on the Oppo os? Oppo is Chinese (but so is the car 😙)

Is the touch screen significantly better than the first model?

Maybe a technical fault or maybe a deliberate act but a reminder that all connected cars are vulnerable to interference and malfunction https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/porsche-russia-satellite-disabled-vts-b2880139.html

There’s an article in WhatCar about a failed OTA update for a BYD Sea Lion. Maybe an isolated incident……..but weren’t there lots of stories of dealers bricking MG4s shortly after launch...

OTA will need to be very reliable before I try it. Imagine bricking the car on your drive and having to be recovered to a dealer who might not have availability for days / weeks. If the dealer bricks it they are better equipped to sort it and have an incentive to do it quickly to free up...

Rearrange this : barge pole touch don’t a with this Odd, though.

Sadly it took a couple of years for me to be able to use the Bluetooth key. I think all the planets have to be perfectly aligned for it to work ie car software, iSmart version and phone version. I would never rely on it for day to day use

Looks interesting. I’ve quickly read the Ts&Cs and cannot see anything about EV charging so I assume charging will be free during the scheme hours. You can only benefit from one energy saving scheme. I’m already signed up to Octoplus Savings Sessions (which require an opt in for each...

Sadly this is quite common. I needed to make a credit to BP Pulse in order to charge a couple of years ago. I haven’t used BP since then. To my surprise I received a credit from BP after about a year of inactivity. The credit more or less matched what was in my account. No explanation from BP...

Good luck with the new car. And thank you for your helpful and sensible contributions to this forum.

I’m curious about what would happen if I pulled up the Electronic Parking Brake (the lever next to the gear selector) or pressed the big P button whilst driving at speed. The reason for asking is that I may be accompanying a very inexperienced new driver and wonder what the best response from...

Fully agree. The point I was making was that the app warned of a parking fee yet the website did not.
