Which kumho tyres did you fit?
Makes no difference.

Re: Reduced range- new tires or software update?

I’m assuming people know how to compare one consumption to another, but sometimes this forum is full of surprises.

Re: Reduced range- new tires or software update?

I suspect the software update has cleared all your driving algorithms and the car has to learn your driving style again before the guessometer becomes more accurate for range. My V2 has now done 4000 miles and shows very different range now than when I first drove it, even taking into account the w...

Re: Reduced range- new tires or software update?

What was your consumption before, what is it now?

Re: Dealership Enquiry

Sitting at 100% for a long term is not ideal, but I highly doubt they do that. All you can do is contact them and ask.

Re: Dealership Enquiry

Because car/battery manufacturer developers and engineers think about all possible scenarios and conditions and design cars appropriately. A car driving off the production line, to arriving at the owners door, is typically many months, the cars go to Oz on ships etc. You can't overcharge an EV by le...

Re: Dealership Enquiry

1) No, and it doesn't matter anyway.

2) Who knows, it doesn't matter.

Stop worrying, enjoy the car when you get it.

Re: Lane Assist - remembering the previous setting!

Hey all. Having it in fav's is just something I took for granted, I have no idea why the UK models (so far) don't seem to have the option. I just searched a Born review in German, on YT and clicked the first one on the list, check 4:30 timestamp on the video. At 17:40 it shows the software version, ...

Re: [UK] - Updated real-world range figures and e-Boost functionality?

Mainly motorway in winter on the 77kwh Born can give us at 210 miles range with 3 adults and luggage. Pretty good. 210 in winter (sub zero) with fully loaded car is excellent. But for these numbers to mean anything, please define “range”, your theoretical range from 100 to 0 SOC or a more realistic...

Re: Future Born Owner, Opinions and advise

Moral of the story (what I did, I guess I'm not part of "a lot of people), is to research what you are buying, especially if it is 40-50k of your cash. Watch all the youtube stuff you can, especially on infotainment. Learn how to set it up and customise the home screens and favourites, learn th...
