Re: Real life range

My 58kwh v2 is getting ~210 miles from 100% charge at the moment. Does anyone know how this compares in the current weather? I’m worried it’s looking on the low-side and if something is wrong with the car? Efficiency depends a lot on ambient temp and the type of driving you do. Under 12C, and in th...

Re: Real life range

Real range, based on a few scenarios:- 1. 0-3 Celcius, motorway driving, about 160 miles with no heating (brrr!) 100% down to 5%. 2. As per 1. With cabin heating to 16C, about 140 miles 3. 20+ Celsius, you could be up to 220 motorway miles 100% to 5% with a bit of aircon. 4. Around the doors expect ...

Re: Order Lead Times

It appears 160 Cupra Borns have been recalled. These are all undelivered cars. They all have a steering column fault. Our dealer SMC Woking will offer us a loan car to enable us to trade in our ICE car. No idea when the steering column fault will be fixed. That's quite generous of SMC. They were sh...

Re: Dealer Administration Fee

I suspect this is a new thing since the dealerships became a place for window shopping and collection, with the car considered to be ordered direct from Cupra themselves, with a bit of dealership interaction. This wasn't the case a year ago, it's a new thing Cupra have brought in - seemingly to remo...

Re: Born no more!

True, that’s exactly what I’ve done 3,000 miler. What I wasn’t aware of, they come standard with 4 years warranty and no obligatory servicing, so factor the saved servicing costs in makes it cheaper again! I can’t justify the servicing bills on EV’s being so high when most of the checks would be do...

Re: Born no more!

Hope the Tesla was bought 2nd hand - would not want to be financing the amount of depreciation those are suffering right now. Lots of cheap 2-3 year old examples around.
