Re: Born coming 5th April

You only need the My Cupra app. I think the Cupra Connect app is for the non-EV Cupra models.

You don’t even NEED the My Cupra app although it can be useful. You can check on the charge state a location of the car and tell it to start heating the car remotely etc.

Re: Born no more!

Hope Portugal weathers nice right now! Your aircon will soon eat into those km/kwh! Starting to get nice sunny days 😄 The air con doesn’t eat into the km/kwh as much as winter heating does in cold climates, not least because AC works like a heat pump (in reverse), whereas heating uses energy direct...

Re: Always leave the car connected to charger if possible?

Thanks all 🙏

Regarding the disconnecting issue, I've only had it on my home charger, not on any public charger.

Re: Always leave the car connected to charger if possible?

One reason I was asking was because I had plugged the car in yesterday afternoon at about 60% and I have it set to always charge immediately to 80%, and then unlock the cable. Later that evening I saw the cable was unlocked (no light, white or green) in the charge port, but this morning when I got t...

Always leave the car connected to charger if possible?

Tesla recommends owners who have a home charger to always leave the car connected to the charger as much as possible. Partly so that certain features like "Sentry mode" don't drain the battery and also so that pre-heating the car is done with current from the charger and not using the batt...

Re: Born no more!

in the end there was only Tesla I considered a Model 3 standard range (now with 60kWh LFP battery) when my Born looked like it would never arrive. Especially as the price of a new Model 3 is now €46k here in Portugal and a new Born with just a few options will easily be €50k or more. Even my Born, ...

Re: Wheel not straight?

I've had this happen twice on my old Audi A3 and both times it was because the wheel alignment was out, so probably it is that.

Re: Should I buy a Born until the issues are resolved

with a heavy reliance on Rapid charging - which can be a total PITA A PITA because of the charging infrastructure in the UK, or because of issues with the Born related to fast charging? I've had my Born a couple of weeks now and have only fast charged it once with no issues. The rest of the time I'...

Radio, switch between favourites easily.

Is it possible to configure the radio "widget" so that the forward and back buttons switch between your favourites instead of just going to the next station it can find? It's really annoying that you have to actually go into the radio app, then click on favourites, and only then can you sw...
