OK, who's been driving their ZS EV a while now? Experience good or bad, things that are good or others that could have been better, and dealer satisfaction.
Thanks Thomas.
Mostly good for me now I can do timed overnight charges having had the software update. Some annoying warning bongs (but most can be disabled) and the auto main beam lights take a couple of seconds too long to dip as the camera beside the rear view mirror (which also reads roadside speed limits) needs to actually see the oncoming car lights and then takes a second or so to dip (but you can do this manually or disable). Also the screen needs to be clear inside and out for this to work reliably or the auto dip doesn't work at all and generates another warning bong as well as dazzling oncoming drivers! The automatic parking brake/hill hold takes a bit of getting used to and can make low-speed manoeuvres such as parallel parking difficult at first. It is controlled by how hard you press the brake pedal so controlling your speed whilst not activating it needs a delicate touch. It can be switched off and the car then just creeps like a standard auto. Some signs of cost-cutting if you look closely but nothing serious. Mostly it is about getting used to it being slightly different by being an EV with lots of tech. Many of the "issues" raised in the various forums seem to be either user error or the tech being less clever than it thinks it is (e.g. auto lights and lane-keeping assist) and are easily solved by (shock, horror) reading the manual to either disable or operate correctly.
