CUPRA Born Forum

Hi Everyone,
My Cupra Born 58kw V2 eboost arrives on April 5, all being well...
It'll be my first venture into EV ownership, so I'm feeling quite brave. Glad to have found these forums, though

Welcome to the forum MikeyB
It's a great car and I'm sure you will get a lot of support from members here.

Thanks, I'm gonna need help, I suspect!
In advance of the car's arrival I've been browsing the User Manual (not the most engaging read, I have to say). I've got a little confused about Cupra Connect and My Cupra. Do I need to install both apps on my phone, or only My Cupra?

You only need the My Cupra app. I think the Cupra Connect app is for the non-EV Cupra models.

You don’t even NEED the My Cupra app although it can be useful. You can check on the charge state a location of the car and tell it to start heating the car remotely etc.

Hi MikeyB,
I assume April 5th is your delivery date? Do you know when the Born will arrive at the dealer?
My V2 is due at dealer April 7th so trying to gauge time to delivery to me...

Ah, OK. I got the impression it was "essential"!
