Managed to DC charge at 124kW/h for the first time

After 18 months with my Born I finally managed to get the maximum possible DC fast charge speed. It was a hot day (29C) and I had been driving at 120kmh for the last 90 minutes. Also SoC was below 20%, so all the ideal conditions. But it didn’t stay that way for long. IMG_8303.jpeg IMG_8306.jpeg

Re: I Need Advice on Upgrading My Cupraborn Engine for Better Performance

I don't get why an AI bot would post something like this. What could they possibly get from this?

Re: Adaptive Cruise control

the car is keeping the distance on the highway automatically when I come close to the car in front on me. It does not have navigation, however predictive/adaptice recuperation is working (e.g. when entering the city or entering to the roundabout. Further, also My Cupra app seems to have lack of fun...

Re: Adaptive Cruise control

I don't know anything about the online shop for Cupra. So far the only thing that is available (at least here in Portugal) is the Cupra Charging service.

Do you know if your car has all the sensors and hardware necessary for adaptive cruise control? I think it's standard, but not sure.

Re: Green tint on main display

Well, the next morning it was back to normal. No idea what caused it.

Green tint on main display

This evening I got in the car and the central display had a strange green tint to it which remained for the rest of the trip. I tried rebooting the display but that made no difference. Had anyone seen anything similar? There seems to be some sort of rectangular shadow which is more obvious when usin...

Re: New OTA update

Looks like there is no more OTA updates, new software only comes in new models It's been rumoured, pretty strongly, that there will be more OTA updates for current cars with the 3.x.x versions of the software. Even the text of the previous updates, like OUJ4 say: "This update allows you to pre...

Re: CarPlay GPS Inaccurate

It's a well known issue with CarPlay, it affects many different makes and models of car, but it's not clear what causes it. Fortunately I have never seen it.

You are right, CarPlay uses the GPS from the car, not your phone.

Re: Welcome 'Kit'

I've seen a couple of red Borns here in Portugal and Spain. They do look awesome, although the ones I've seen have the silver highlights on the Typhoon wheels, which does work better with the red, but they left the other copper bits (grille, bonnet badge etc) as copper, so it's a bit of a mess. The ...

Re: My Cupra app

The app looks exactly like it did prior to the update, and it continues to be borderline useless.
