The 12V cigarette lighter can deliver 180W while the drive system is engaged and 120W when not. It's connected to a 20A fuse (240W). The problem is that the cigarette lighter power port is way at the back. The manual says that the rear (NOT FRONT!) USB PD ports have a 7.5A fuse, therefore theoretica...

I'll be changing my Born hopefully late Spring and have two more test drives planned which will be the new Mini EV Cooper S in March and if Ford get their finger out a Puma EV or Explorer EV. Make sure to wait until the Born gets a refresh which will bring the ICAS3 with software version 4. Take a ...

You totally missed the point of this thread. I gave my reasoning why I am not buying a Born "again" and told you why but you are arguing against that how you have seen things at your side. Like that would change someone elses opinion? Good for you that you have gotten good charging speeds...

The maximum speed (on a flat surface with no wind) is determined by the gear ratio x max RPM - and the official top speed is 160km/h, but this can vary depending on tire pressure. If you're going over 170km/h, then you're either driving down a slope and/or there's a tailwind. fwiw I also believe the...

1. I have a 58kWh battery and in the summer can easily hit 130kw with a warm battery. 2. Your line of argumentation is pretty thin without charging graphs, battery temperature, outside temperature and initial SoC. If you've only been driving a short distance on a warm day, you're not going to hit 13...

It's highly dependent on the location. Where I live, it's currently -3c so winter has not set in, but currently with 10% or less SOC and 150-300Kw chargers I get most 50kwh while people with Tesla, Mach-E, Kia etc. go to charger with preconditioning and they take it as fast as in the summer. The be...

I would not. The battery preconditioning is an issue which is relevant to where I live and my charging options. I still don't get this - every single comprehensive technical breakdown I've read that examines the possibility of preheating on this platform shows that any time saved by preheating the ...

0299: 3.7 (OTA)

Very much looking forward to this OTA update as it updates the display software to 6091 and will eliminate much of the massive touchscreen lag:

fwiw out of 111 vehicles, 2-3 year old Model 3's just scored dead last in the German TÜV (state mandated inspection organization) reliability ratings - mainly due to rusty brakes and suspension issues. After 1 year, I still love my Born. Haven't had any breakdowns or showstopper issues. The software...
