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: 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...

Re: Public charging in Portugal

Hi potxotxo! The charging infrastructure in Portugal is a bit different to the rest of Europe, which has advantages and disadvantages. Basically, all public chargers have to be part of the Mobi.E network, and then there are a bunch of different "service providers" that you actually have an...

Re: Hi from Portugal

No green bar on the number plate?
I had to look up what you meant by that πŸ˜„ The green bar for EVs is just a UK thing. In Portugal there's no distinction on the number plate for EVs.

Re: Hi from Portugal

How long until current trip is reset?

How long does the car have to be stopped before it resets the current trip (consumption, distance, average speed etc shown as "Since start")? This morning I took my daughter to speech therapy, got out for 2-3 minutes to take her to the door, then went back and sat in the car with the radio...

Hi from Portugal

Hi πŸ‘‹ Joined a few days ago and already participated in some threads, but thought I'd do the proper intro. I'm originally from the UK (although half German πŸ˜ƒ), but have now lived in Portugal for 22 years. Got my Born last week after having waited since February 2022. The car I ordered was simply neve...
