The car will run the DC-DC converter whenever HV is on. Any suggestion that it would not charge when X or Y is happening is nonsense. If the HV system is powered up, IE charging, pre-heating, driving, the DC-DC is on and charging the battery. If the battery is flat, charge it. Its really not that di...

I would suggest, given your looking at 2023 cars, you stretch to an 85 Edition. It has all the tech, newer software, upgraded motor etc etc. The earlier cars had loads of option packs meaning wildly varying specs, whereas the Edition trim has almost everything included in one easy to find package. I...

Bad 12v batteries dont like the cold. The car doesnt particularly care either way.

Octopus cannot charge the car beyond the car limit. The limit set in the octopus app cannot override the car limit.

If its continuning past 80, then you've missed a setting somewhere in the car.

I really like that they've added a dialog telling you what the car itself can achieve. Its a never ending complaint with users about the car not charging fast enough. Having the car categorically tell you "i'm good for 123kw" lets you know exactly where you stand, if its saying that and yo...

Is the car on ME3? That much voltage deviation should be triggering a warning light. My car was triggering the warning light at ~15mv. There was a large recall running for replacing these battery modules due to this exact fault, one cell being degraded.

Depends what exactly is wrong. My car was involved in the large battery recall last year. Circa September 2023 it brought up a warning on the dashboard "Electric Drive is not working correctly". It was a yellow warning and when i called them, they said it was fine to continue driving it un...

I'm sure theres a manual override to turn the car on with a dead key? Place it near the start button or something?

Once the car is started, you could unlock with the button on the dashboard.

Wifey has had many issues with her watch and car bluetooth, across multiple cars. It seems that Android has no way to set a priority. The phone is connected to both your watch and the car, both of which can act as "handsfree", and theres no way to force it to pick one over the other. Somet...

I just leave the mirror heaters permenantly on.
