The Archersy

[Andrew Sinclair]

I can accept that the s/w is a bit flaky and maybe just maybe I don’t mind that the charging sometimes bricks the car BUT I CANNOT accept that The Archers has been incorrectly spelt

Look at you showing off the station logo that's better than most

The Archersy - an everyday story of chinese folk ups.

drmcw. Had to read it twice.

I’m surprised that a new car gets old programs like the Archers

Pah! I am an old g1t

Isn’t that from the beeb, not sure you can blame the car for the misspelling?

 

[Andrew Sinclair]

Joking aside, there was another misspelling and I think it could be related to the interpretation of the RDS data.

 

[m4rmite]

Perhaps it is asking you a question and went youff on the spelling.
The Archers why?

 

[N2STY]

No it's definitely a warranty claim

 

[Bodgerx]

That's from the RDS data not any issue with the car itself.

That's my understanding. However, when I looked at another vehicle the spelling was correct. I have also noticed another misspellings, so I am wondering whether the code that interprets RDS data is somehow involved in the error. I have no evidence other than one anecdote.

It's Chinees flaky software, it throws a random character at the end of the RDS data an all the stations. It's one of the things that lets the car down and stops a good car from being great.

 

[Andrew Sinclair]

@peterseddon I have come to the same conclusion. There are a number of things that I chuckle about but in reality, are poor software development. I accept it because of the price point of the car and that this is my first EV so is a ‘project’

Does the Russian software version add "ski" at the end, "The Archersski" ?
