You might be quoting me. Yes, thats exactly the right place and what made the message go away for me.

I have MY23 with both upgraded interior and upgraded entertainment. UK doesn't get a bigger screen.

That's a setting in Climate > Settings. Let us know if it's set in there.

Yes, but every setting within individual can be set to sport, so it's not like you are missing out if you want to try it.

It isn't in "Show standard equipment" (but "Electric auxiliary air heater" is), so it doesn't look like it is.

Re: Yellow tortoise light Red Tortoise light

Did you notice what your blue bar was doing during all this? When I hit 15%, I noticed that my range went up quite dramatically (so a yellow battery, but no tortoise). I suspect that you have less power available, so your 0-60 would be closer to 15-20 seconds, but the power is there to keep you movi...

Good point, can't you just "open" the boot and wipe the camera that way? It doesn't even need to be unlocked.

The new software frequently tells me that there are changes to my settings to implement.

Re: Wall charger & power supplier recommendations - March 2023

If you don't have solar and batteries, then it would be worth knowing what your daytime vs charging electricity needs are. You need to be using the car quite a lot for the 10p night rate to counter the 40-50p day rate.-

Re: How to defrost....

Air conditioning now has the engine off. It's mostly used to keep your passenger, children or pets warm/cold while you leave the car. Start engine turns everything on as you would expect including the full menu system.

Re: Your experience of reducing power and regen at low temperature?

That's what I see on 3.2. I've been making the presumption that this is the natural outcome of not warming the battery to perfect conditions after 2.4 (i.e. the range in winter is increased because the first 10 minutes of each journey used to warm the battery a lot).

Re: WeConnect network outage - again

Still nothing. The only way to defrost the car seems to be to set A/C to start following unlock, then unlock it and leave the key in the car. Otherwise it will lock itself again in a short time. This is really not great. See the how to defrost thread https://www.id3forums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&am...

Re: How to defrost....

You can pull one of the fuses (don't be sat in either seat and look up further instructions) You can remove the negative terminal from the battery However, for what you have described, you are look for the "air condition now" toggle when you turn off the car. That will leave the air condit...
