Re: Speed limit adherance

Note that it is possible to trigger/change these settings unintentionally. I managed to do that (catching buttons with my sleeve) while driving through a village with a 30mph limit. As I went past the "derestricted" sign, the car accelerated strongly towards 60mph - grossly excessive for ...

Re: Auto Main Beam problem

If you look carefully and know what to look for, a small area darkens or flickers, you can see it happening. It is a huge improvement on ordinary lights -possibly the best thing about the car.

Re: First Long Journey.............

Watch your speed as this will affect range big time, you should only need one charge for whole journey, bear in mind that dc charging will slow right down as reaches 100% so is more efficient on an empty battery

You will have no problems.

Re: Battery degradation / Range (TRONITY)

The degradation seems to be an exact mirror image of the range.

Is the software simply taking the range worked out by the car and assuming that this is due to degradation of the battery rather than driving style, speed etc?

Re: Public Pod Point chargers

Just wondering can anyone here tell me, a 50kWh charger, how quick it can charge your car from lets say 5% to 80% ? Also am I correct in thinking that the quickest rate the ID.3 can take is 125 kWh or is it 100kWh ? That is 43.5kW. So charging at 50kW will take. 43.5/50=0.87 hours or 0.87x60=circa ...
