Re: Charging losses

For a recent charge here is what I have: - I was billed for 11.96 kWh by the electricity company - EEVEE has the amount as 12.18 kWh - Tronity also shows 12.18 kWh Note, I apparently charged more than I was billed for in this case... For another charge it's different: - billed for 9.60 kWh - EEVVE: ...

Charge time remaining in the app

I could have sworn that you could see the time remaining to finish charging (to whatever percentage you have set), was visible somewhere in the Cupra app, but recently I haven't been able to find it. I guess they may have changed it. Fortunately I use the excellent EEVEE https://www.eeveemobility.co...

Re: Puddle / mirror down lights extra marks in Cupra logo

I suspected washing the car with one of those jet washes, which is what I usually use, but I doubt that, as it didn't seem to coincide with a recent wash. Mine also has the driver's side worse than the passenger side, although mine being in Portugal the driver's side is the left not the right 😀

Re: Standard seat vs. extra Dinamica seats

I have the Blue Dinamica seats and one feature they have which I'm not sure if the normal seats have is the extendible thigh support. Makes a huge difference to comfort on long journeys for me and is something BMW sports seats all have which I had missed for a long time. Also my first car with elect...

Re: Ceramic Coating?

A proper ceramic coating is very expensive. I've asked several detailers here in Lisbon about it, including a friend, and you're looking at at least €600. Part of the cost is that before it's applied the paintwork has to be absolutely perfect and perfectly clean, so there's quite a bit of prep work.

Re: Heated Steering Wheel

From my recent experiences the auto switch on temperature seems to be roughly 10C. Logically you would think the auto switch on would happen when the frost warning is active for 4c The frost warning at 4C is because at that temperature you might have ice on the roads. Having heated steering is nice ...

Re: Lane Assist - remembering the previous setting!

Doesn't that just demonstrate how useless the system is and that it's only there to mitigate poor driving habits? Not at all. It's a safety feature that could literally save your life if for whatever reason you lost consciousness whilst driving. If you drive well it doesn't interfere. Like seatbelt...

Re: Lane Assist - remembering the previous setting!

I really don't get all the hate for lane assist. I leave it on all the time and only very rarely do I have to override it. It's an extra safety backup, especially on motorways. It also forces me to use my indicators when switching lanes which I like. I had grown used to not indicating for lane switc...
