A week in and loving it, start new job on Monday that is 45 miles away and I'm really looking forward to it
As you are in auto cruise you should have an idea of what speed you are travelling at LOL. However use the left/right buttons on the right of the steering wheel while in cruise to change the display back to speedo (or any other display you want to see)....
Some of the dash info is a bit odd. No digital speedo on the same screen as the auto-cruise for example, but I dare say a lot of these things will be addressed in a future update.

LEAF does exactly the same and is less easy to correct.As you are in auto cruise you should have an idea of what speed you are travelling at LOL.

My Zappi will only start charging the car when there is 1.4Kw of spare power available. I have had the car two weeks and the sun has barely shone, so I have had no spare solar to charge so farSolar can definitely contribute to charging. On a good, sunny day my 3.42kWp array can add about 20kWh to the car - around a third of the battery after charging losses. It might require a little from the grid even when it's sunny e.g. when I boil the kettle, the charging won't stop instantly so some power will be imported.
You'll need something like a Zappi charger or similar and it obviously depends on where you are, the orientation and size of your array, the time of year and the weather.
You can reduce the minimum green threshold to lower and allow the grid to supplement the solar power. I tend to keep mine set at 60% which will pull up to 560W from the grid to make up the 1.4kW minimum charge rate.My Zappi will only start charging the car when there is 1.4Kw of spare power available.

Same with most cars. Satnav isnt the draw it once was. Android auto usually far more up to date.I tried out the satnav yesterday. It was awful simply because I was off main roads. Its fine on main roads, not on lanes!
Better get Android Auto active!
That's really clever - nice tip - thank you ! That Zappi is awesomeYou can reduce the minimum green threshold to lower and allow the grid to supplement the solar power. I tend to keep mine set at 60% which will pull up to 560W from the grid to make up the 1.4kW minimum charge rate.
No reflections, you'd only know if you drive pitch black country lanesI agree about the lights, I always turn off the info screen at night. How does opening the windows help though???
Already doneYou can adjust the brightness in the settings. You have to select night (or day), adjust the brightness, then set it to auto.
