Re: Charging speed? Why is it so slow?

Various
The car was warmed up as motorway journey.
I'd estimate 10%, 40%, 60% and 50%.

So I was never above 80% when the charge tends to slow down.

Re: Charging speed? Why is it so slow?

Yeah it's a lesson learned when planning long journeys. 😔

Charging speed? Why is it so slow?

Last week we had our family holiday which involved a 190 mile drive to Gatwick airport. With 5 of us and luggage I knew the car would use it's battery up and sure enough it struggled to hit 3. Anyway as someone who does almost all charging at home I was shocked at how slow the car charged. Here is r...

Re: Headlight condensation

My offside light does this. The nearside ever so slightly. It happens when you go at it hard with a pressure washer. I don't get any condensation in from rain water that I'm aware of. I don't think it should do it, but by avoiding getting the water spray between the light and the bonnet I no longer ...

Re: Standard seat vs. extra Dinamica seats

Actually I would like the extending under thigh support like I've had on the BMW's. That's a good point.
I would say though at 6ft tall I haven't had an issue and noticed I didn't have it if you see what I mean.

Re: Heated Steering Wheel

No button. It's within the climate menu. I'll test the two finger thing though. Thanks

Re: 18" vs. 19" rims - real life difference

I don't think it will impact range as the 19" has skinny tyres. I believe some cars will up to a wider tyre which in driving terms the car would benefit from as it's low grip, but it would impact the range. To be honest the ride is good on 19" so no part of me would want the smaller wheels...

Re: Best Winter Advice

Range drops massively when it's cold in my car. Based on local runs and not motorway work I'm 230 in warm weather and as low as 170 when it's really cold (like sub zero). I drive with the motor in range mode and take it steady. Only press the Cupra button for quick overtakes. Currently with it being...

Re: Standard seat vs. extra Dinamica seats

I have the regular seats. They seem fine. Shame they don't have lumbar support though. To be honest with it being an EV it's unlikely you will be spending hours driving in one go so the standard seats are fine. I would have to have seat heating though. Can't go without that. Note I have found the fa...

Re: Heated Steering Wheel

The option for it coming on automatically is in the menu system. That's what we were discussing previously. Incidentally we are looking to replace my wife's car and saw a really good deal on a Fiat 500e. She really wants heated seats and steering wheel after driving my car though. So I googled the w...
